Installation Instructions
Your dehumidifier will remove moisture from the air and collect the excess
water in a bucket. You can use the EdgeStar dehumidifier to create a
comfortable environment and prevent damage caused by moisture to
books or valuables in areas such as basements or home libraries. Follow
the instructions below to unpack and set up your unit.
1) Carefully unpack the dehumidifier from its box and packaging material,
and remove the adhesive tape holding the water bucket and filter in place.
You may want to save the box for storing and transporting the unit. Let
the unit sit upright for at least 24 hours before powering it on to allow the
compressor’s fluids to settle.
2) Place the dehumidifier on a level floor or surface that is strong enough
to support the unit with a full bucket of water in a room where the ambient
temperature will not drop below 41°F, and away from any heat sources
such as direct sunlight, heaters, radiators, dryers, etc.
Allow at least 10 inches of space all around the unit and at least 20
inches of space above the unit.

If you have multiple power outlets in the room, choose one that is near
the dehumidifier and that will be able to provide adequate power to the
unit. See the power requirements listed on the product label printed on
the side, or on the back of your dehumidifier.
3) Close all windows and doors. To be most effective, use the
dehumidifier in a contained room. For example, use it in a room with four
walls and a ceiling, instead of a partitioned studio, or warehouse.
4) To activate the unit and ensure the warning switches are engaged,
remove the water bucket and reinstall it; otherwise, the unit may not work
properly.
5) Plug the unit in to a grounded outlet. (Read the Safety Information
section.)
6) When first using the unit, press the Power button on the top of the unit
and run it in continuous mode for 24 hours.
Note: Dehumidifiers working
in a basement will have little
or no effect on adjacent
enclosed rooms such as
closets, unless there is
enough circulation of air in
and out of the enclosed area.
Note: The unit is designed to
work in environments with
temperatures between 41°F
and 95°F
Caution: The unit is designed
to be used indoors and
freestanding, and not be
used outdoors, or be built-in
to a cabinet or used under a
counter.
