• Make sure the plug is pushed completely into the outlet
• Check the house fuse/circuit breaker box and replace
the fuse or reset the breaker
• The unit turns off automatically when either condition
occurs. Change to a lower setting or empty the bucket
and replace properly
• The bucket must be in place and securely seated for the
unit to operate.
• There is a protective time delay (up to 3 minutes) to
prevent tripping of the compressor overload. For this
reason, the unit may not start normally for 3 minutes
after it is turned back on.
• When fi rst installed, allow at least 24 hours to maintain
the desired dryness
• Make sure there are no curtains, blinds or furniture
blocking the front or back of the dehumidifi er. See the
"Location" section.
• See the "Air fi lter" section
• For drier air, press the - button and set to a lower per-
cent value (%)
• Check that all doors, windows and other openings are
securely closed
• Install the dehumidifi er away from the dryer. The dryer
should be vented to the outside.
• Moisture removal is best at higher room temperatures.
Lower room temperatures will reduce the moisture
removal rate. Modes are designed to be operated at
temperatures above 5°C (41°F)
• Set to 40% RH. Allow bucket to fi ll and then empty buck-
et. Adjust controller to desired % RH.
• The capacity of your dehumidifi er may not be adequate
• Close all doors and windows
• This is normal. Frost will usually disappear within 60
minutes. See the "Defrost" section
• This is normal. Wait approximately 3 minutes and set
the fan as desired.
• This is normal
• Check the hose connection. See "Continuous Drain"
section
• Disconnect the hose if using the bucket to collect water,
see "Continuous Drain" section.
