Dehumidifier Features
((ccoonnttiinnuueedd))
Operating Conditions (Continued)
A dehumidifier will not eliminate frost on windows during winter. The dehumidifying coil
normally operates above freezing temperatures and cannot prevent moisture from
condensing on the inside of a window pane that is below freezing.
TTIIPP::
It may be helpful to use a dehumidifier in the kitchen or laundry area where
the humidity is high. Reducing humidity in these areas may reduce frost on
windows in other parts of the home.
Frost Control
The Frost Control feature prevents frost or ice from remaining on the dehumidifying
coil for an extended period of time. When frost formation occurs, this control turns
off the compressor. The fan continues to run, causing any frost or ice to melt.
Dehumidifier will then resume normal operation.
Frost Control is also designed to prevent excessive on-off cycling. Under certain
conditions this may allow frost to remain on coil for some time before the
compressor turns off and the frost is cleared.
Removing Collected
Water
Bucket and Float Installation
All models are supplied with a bucket, which is conveniently tucked into the front
of the unit to accumulate water removed from the air, or use the built-in hose
connection to carry water directly to a drain.
When using the bucket the Automatic Shut-Off switch is activated by a float. The
Automatic Shut-Off switch stops the unit before the bucket overflows, and turns
the unit on again after the bucket is emptied and replaced.
The bucket and float must be installed correctly for proper operation (Figure 1).
