1.6.1 HOW DOES THE DEHUMIDIFIER WORK?
Moist, humid air is drawn over a cold refrigerated
dehumidifying 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 over the condenser where it is
actually heated several degrees and discharged out the
front grille into the room.
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.
1.6.2 LOCATION FOR THE DEHUMIDIFIER
Allow at least 12 inches of space on all sides of the
unit for good air circulation.
■ 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.
Humidity Control
•
When you first use the dehumidifier, turn the humidity
control to 5 or 6. If you still have moisture, turn the
humidity control to a higher setting.
MAX is the highest setting.
• When excess moisture and dampness odors are gone,
adjust the control to a lower setting. Use the
dehumidifier as long as excess moisture is present.
Fan Speed
•
The fan control adjusts the fan speed.
Set the fan control to HIGH for maximum moisture
removal. When the humidity has been reduced and
quiet operation is preferred, set the fan control to LOW.

Glows when the bucket is ready to be emptied, or when
the bucket is removed or not replaced in the proper
position.
• The Water Level Control Switch shuts off the
dehumidifier when the bucket is full, or when the bucket
