WATER TANK
OPERATION
The water tank holds accumulated condensed water and by means of a safety switch, controls both the water
level and operation of the dehumidification process- i.e. When the water tank is full and/or accidentally
displaced inside the cabinet, the float switch actuator (inside the tank) breaks contact with the safety switch.
This condition results in the immediate shut down of the compressor and fan motor system, preventing
moisture from being condensed.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (cont’d)

DEHUMIDIFYING is a means of removing moisture from the air. A dehumidifier will help to protect your
home and valued possessions from damage (swelling) caused by moisture in the air. Essentially a dehumidifier
removes moisture from air as moist air passes over a dehumidifying (evaporator) coil. Moisture is condensed
on the evaporator coil, drained, and collected inside an internal (removable) water tank located at the front of
the unit. The exhausted air being returned into the room environment is elevated several degrees causing the
surrounding air temperature to increase (slightly). This process also contributes to lowering the relative
humidity of the surrounding air.
DEHUMIDIFYING
MODE INSTRUCTIONS
When the “on/off” button is activated (pressed), the
power light turns to a state “on” condition and the
dehumidifier automatically defaults to:
Display: Current Ambient Room Humidity
(RH%)
Humidity Setting:60% RH
Fan Speed: High
IMPORTANT NOTE: Depending on humidity
conditions of the surrounding environment, the
dehumidifier may not start automatically under the
default setting (this is an indication that the humidity
level of the surrounding environment is lower than
the “default” setting of 60% RH). Therefore, it may
be necessary to scroll through each of the different
dehumidifier settings 35% - 80% until the
“humidstat” (sensor) recognizes conditions that will
allow the unit to operate.
DEHUMIDIFYING MODE SELECTION:
1) To turn the unit on press the ON/OFF button.
2a) Press the humidity “UP” or “DOWN” button to
select a desired RH operating value (35% -80%)
OR
2b) Press the CONTINUOUS button. When
CONTINUOUS mode is selected, the humidistat
(sensor) will be by-passed and the compressor
will operate non-stop regardless of humidity
conditions.
FAN SPEED SELECTION:
3) Select a fan speed on the keypad. The speed you
select is identified by the (illuminated) indicator
light located directly above the selection made.
When the unit is first connected to the electrical outlet, the (green) power light
will not light until the “on/off” button is pressed.
AIR FILTER
Your dehumidifer features a removable Air Filter, located at the front of the unit (behind the
air intake grill) directly above the water tank compartment.
To maintain maximum operating efficiency:
• The filter must be checked and cleaned regularly (every 2 weeks)
• More frequent cleaning may be required depending upon indoor air quality.
IMPORTANT: Never operate the unit without the air filter in place.
AIR FILTER REMOVAL:
1) Grasp the filter handle, and pull the filter out. The filter will slide out
easily (see Fig. 2)
2) Clean the filter thoroughly using a vacuum cleaner or wash using
lukewarm water and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly before re-installing.
3) To re-install the air filter, slide the filter back inside the tracks and push
inward.

IMPORTANT: Never tamper with or attempt to defeat the water level (safety) float
switch system. Proper installation of the water tank is crucial to maintaining reliable
dehumidifier operation.
The air filter plays an important role in helping to reduce (minimize) dust/dirt particles from the surrounding
environment. A blocked/clogged air filter reduces air intake, impacting negatively on operating efficiency.
