recommended because it offers better circulation and balancing of indoor air
conditions. Running the HVAC fan during dehumidification does not affect
moisture removal efficiency. 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.

SPOT INSTALLATION
In this installation the dehumidifier is not ducted to the HVAC system and is used to
dehumidify a specific area. This installation is typically used in basements or crawl
spaces. The dehumidifier can remain non-ducted, however, to achieve specified
performance it is recommended that the dehumidifier be ducted to the area requiring
dehumidification. When ducted, grilles should be installed on the inlet and outlet
to increase the pressure drop across the unit. 10 feet is the recommended distance
between inlet and outlet grilles.
