DEHUMIDIFY Indicator

displayed is 39-95%. If the current humidity is
below 39%, it will still show 39.
Auto Defrost Feature
When frost builds up on the cooling coils,
the compressor will cycle off until the frost

Choosing a Location
The dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed
area to be most effective.
Close all doors, windows and other outside openings
to the room.
Place the dehumidifier in a location that does
not restrict air flow into the rear coil or out the
front grille.
A dehumidifier operating in a basement will
have little or no effect in drying an adjacent
enclosed storage area, such as a closet, unless
there is adequate circulation of air in and out
of the area.
Air Direction
Make sure the louvers are open before starting the unit.
The louvers can be adjusted to blow air upward or
straight out.
It is normal for the surrounding air to become
slightly warmer as the dehumidifier operates.
This warming effect further reduces the relative
humidity of the surrounding air.
