When using this dehumidifier, always follow basic
safety precautions, including the following:
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as
described in this Owner’s Manual.
This dehumidifier must be properly installed and
grounded as described in this manual before it is used.
Never operate this dehumidifier in an area that is likely
to accumulate standing water. If this condition
develops, for your safety disconnect the power supply
before stepping into the water.
Never unplug your dehumidifier by pulling on the
power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight
out from the receptacle.
Replace immediately all electric service cords that
have become frayed or otherwise damaged. A
damaged power supply cord must be replaced with a
new power supply cord obtained from the manufacturer
and not repaired. Do not use a cord that shows cracks
or abrasion damage along its length or at either the
plug or connector end.
If the receptacle does not match the plug, the
receptacle must be changed out by a qualified
electrician.
Turn the dehumidifier OFF and unplug it before
cleaning.
For your safety, do not store or use combustible
materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors or
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
All dehumidifiers contain refrigerants, which under
federal law must be removed prior to product disposal.
If you are getting rid of an old product with refrigerants,
check with the company handling disposal about what
to do.
Do not use outdoors.
This dehumidifier is intended for indoor residential
applications only. This dehumidifier should not be used
for commercial or industrial applications.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT use an adapter plug with this appliance.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-
prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-
prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility
of electric shock hazard from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your
personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced
with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
The dehumidifier should always be plugged into its own
individual electrical outlet, which has a voltage rating
matching the rating plate.
This provides the best performance and also prevents
overloading house wiring circuits, which could cause a
fire hazard from overheated wires.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the use
of an extension cord.
However, if you must use an extension cord, it is
absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed, 14 gauge, 3-
wire grounding type appliance extension cord having
a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical
rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 125
volts.
