RECOMMENDATIONS
When first installed, allow at least 24 hours to
maintain the desired dryness.
Ensure there are no curtains, blinds or furniture
blocking front or back of unit. See the Location
section on Page 4.
See Cleaning/Replacing Filter on Page 5.
For drier air, press the button to lower the
percent humidity desired in the room, or
set the dehumidifier to "CO" for maximum
dehumidification.
Check that all doors, windows and other openings
are securely closed.
Install dehumidifier away from dryer. Dryer should
be vented outside.
Moisture removal is best at higher room
temperatures. Lower room temperatures will
reduce the moisture removal rate. This model is
designed to operate at temperatures above 41°F.
Capacity of dehumidifier may not be adequate
for room size or amount of moisture in air.
Close all doors and windows to the outside.
This is normal. Frost will usually disappear within
60 minutes.
This is normal. Wait approximately three minutes
and set fan speed to desired level.
This is normal.
Check the hose connection. See Continuous
Drainage/Garden Hose Installation and Setup on
Page 4.
Disconnect hose if using bucket or place hose
near a drain.
