CONVERTIBLE INSTALLATION (CONTINUED)
•HVACFANON:ActivatingtheHVACfanduringWhole-Homedehumidification
is recommended because it offers better circulation and balancing of indoor
air conditions. Running the HVAC fan during dehumidification does not affect
moisture removal efficiency. During spot dehumidification, the HVAC fan will
not be turned on regardless of the position of the switch. If the switch is put
in the HVAC FAN OFF position, air is pulled through the unit, dehumidified, and
circulated solely by the dehumidifier blower.
