plug. To minimize possible shock hazard,
the cord must be plugged into a matching
grounded electrical outlet that complies with
the latest edition of the National Electrical
Code and all local codes and ordinances.
If a grounded 3-prong electrical outlet is not
available, it is the personal responsibility
and obligation of the customer to have one
installed by a qualified electrician.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
•Do not remove ground prong.
•Do not use a two-prong adapter.
•Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result
in death, fire or electrical shock.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons, read the important
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS found on page 3 before operating this appliance.

CHOOSING THE PROPER LOCATION
* Place the dehumidifier on a level floor
strong enough to support the unit with a
full bucket of water
* For best performance, allow at least
12-18 inches of air space on all sides of
the unit for good air circulation
* Use the dehumidifier:
-
in the basement to help prevent moisture
damage.
- in the kitchen, laundry room, bathroom,
and spa/exercise areas that have excessive
moisture
- to prevent moisture damage anywhere
books or valuables are stored
- during construction or remodeling to
reduce drying time for drywall and paint
DEFROST OPERATION
- The dehumidifier has a built-in defrost control
that senses frost buildup on the evaporator coils
- During defrosting, the compressor will
automatically turn off; the fan will continue
running to defrost the coils.
AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF
-
When the bucket is full, or when the bucket is not
in the proper position, the bucket full light will
turn on and the unit automatically shuts off
-
The bucket must be placed in the proper position
for the dehumidifier to work. The light will stay
on and the dehumidifier will not run if the bucket
is not in the proper position.
- The dehumidifier will shut off once the desired
humidity setting has been reached.

Pressing button will turn the machine on.
Pushing again will turn the machine off.
Please note unit may turn on or off depending
on room environment.

Select Your Fan Speed
By pressing fan speed button (5), fan speed will
change. The indicator (9) of selected fan speed
will light (High or Low). In Comfort Mode, fan
speed will adjust the fan speed automatically
depending how close the room humidity is to 50%.
For example, if the room is 70%, the unit will need
to pull in air quickly, so it will turn on high. Once
2. Select Operating Mode
* Comfort Mode
When the unit is turned on for the first time or by
pressing comfort button (2) once, operation begins
in comfort mode. "50" will appear in the display
(7) and the comfort indicator (8) will light up. In
this setting, humidity level is adjusted for optimum
comfort (50%) with no manual adjustment needed.
When pressing the button again, comfort mode
is turned off and the unit will adjust humidity level
based on the humidity level programmed.
* Humidity Mode
To set desired humidity level when not in comfort
mode, push
humidity
button
(3)
until desired
humidity level is reached. The humidity levels
will adjust in increments of 5% beginning at a low
of 35% and reaching a maximum of 70%.
Humidity will show in the display when adjusting
humidity. When humidity level has reached 70%,
pushing once more will set unit into continuous

inputted. When continuous mode is programmed,
“Lo” will be displayed.
the room reaches 55%, the unit will slow the
amount of air flow and turn the fan on low.
4. Water Removal Indicators
* Pump ON
Pump "ON" is an optional setting when using the
included 18 ft. hose to remove the collected water
automatically.
To select the pump as your water removal option,
press the pump button (6). When the pump indicator
(10)
is on, the pump will automatically remove
the water in the bucket only when the bucket is full.
It will only turn on for a period of 30 seconds to
remove the water. The pump will turn off after 30
seconds and not turn on again until the bucket is
full again. It is normal for a small amount of water
to remain in the bucket after the pump has operated,
this is to protect the pump. The pump button should
be off at all times except when the user chooses
this as their option to remove collected water
(See Page 7, Option 3). The pump option should
only be selected when there is a ¼” hose properly
installed in the pump drain location.
If the pump button is pressed when using other
disposal options, E3 (Error message – See page
10) will be displayed. If other disposal options
are needed, push the pump button again to turn
off the pump function.
* Bucket Full Indicator
When the collection bucket is full,
bucket full
indicator (11) will light. The unit will not run with
the bucket full. Dispose of water and replace
bucket properly.
5. Timer Function (Optional)
a. By pressing the
timer
button
(4)
, the unit will
run until the desired time expires and the unit will
shut off. Timer range is between 1 and 12 hours
with increments of 1 hour. Please note display
shows setting time while programming temporarily
before returning to desired humidity level display.
OPTION 1, EMPTYING MANUALLY
1. Pull out the bucket, grasping upper and
lower handles.
2. Carry the bucket by grasping the inside
handle of the bucket.
3. After emptying the bucket, replace the
bucket in the dehumidifier.
NOTE: Dehumidifier will not work when the
BUCKET FULL light is on or without the
bucket properly placed in the unit.
OPTION 2, GRAVITY DRAIN HOSE
(Garden Hose Not Provided)
1. Take off GRAVITY DRAIN CAP by turning
the cap counterclockwise. (Fig.1)
2. Remove DRAIN CONNECTOR from the
bucket. (Fig.2)
3. Next, screw the DRAIN CONNECTOR
to a standard garden hose by turning
clockwise. (Fig.3)
4. Reattach the DRAIN CONNECTOR end
of garden hose to the dehumidifier (Fig.4)
then check hose for kinks or obstructions.
The position of the hose at the floor drain
must be lower than DRAIN CONNECTOR.
5. Keep the DRAIN CAP for future use when
emptying bucket manually.
OPTION 3, PUMP DRAIN
1. Remove the PUMP DRAIN CAP by turn-
ing clockwise (Reverse thread). (Fig.1)
2. Remove the drain-hole PLUG by pulling out
while pressing in on the coupler. (Fig.2)
Keep the DRAIN CAP and PLUG for future use.
3. Feed the 1/4-inch hose provided through
the hole in the DRAIN CAP. (Fig.3)
4. Insert the end of hose into the drain hole
(Fig.4), then screw DRAIN CAP back
onto the unit. Place the other end of the
hose in the location you want the water to
go: to a floor drain, a water container, or
through a basement window to the
outdoors. (Pump can lift water up to 15
feet above the unit.) Check hose for kinks
or other obstruction.

5. In the unlikely event the hose comes
loose during pump operation due to
vibration, re-attach hose to continue
automatic pump removal of water.
CAUTION: Do not remove the
bucket while the pump is operating. This
will cause the dehumidifier to stop operat-
ing and result in an “E3” error message.
ALSO: The pump drain hose should not
be both under water AND at a height
that is above the dehumidifier. This can
cause a “back flow” to the dehumidifier
and cause the dehumidifier to stop work-
ing resulting in an “E3” error message.
Following an “E3” error, the unit must be
unplugged and reset to operate. (See
Error Code section of this manual.)
