When first using the dehumidifier, operate the unit continuously 24 hours.
How the Dehumidifier Operates
Moist, hmnid air is drawn over a cold refrigerated
dehunfidif_'ing coil. Moisture in the air condenses
on this coil and drains into a bucket (or through
the bucket into a hose and drain).
Dry, clean air is drawn through the condenser
where it is heated and discharged out the fl'ont
grille into the room.
It is normal for the surrounding air to become slightly
warmer as the dehumidifier operates.
