Dehumidifier Features
(continued)
Operating Conditions
A dehumidifier will not operate satisfactorily if room temperature is 65°F (18°C)
or lower, or if the humidity in the room is low Under these conditions, the
dehumidifier should be turned off See "Frost Control "
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
TIP: 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 Formation on Coils
A light coating of frost on the coils isnormal when dehumidifier begins to
operate Under normal conditions, it will disappear within 60 minutes Frost also
forms on the coil when room temperature or humidity level is low
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 The dehumidifier will then resume normal operation
Frost Control isalso designed to prevent excessiveon-off cycling Under certain
conditions this may al!ow frost to remain on coil for some time before the
compressor turns off and the frost is cleared

Bucket Installation
Your unit is supplied with a closed bucket, which hangs conveniently on the
back of the unit to accumulate water removed from the air, The bucket also has
a built-in hose connection to carry water directly to a drain, if desired,
Your dehumidifier is equipped with an Automatic Shut-Off switch (A in Figure I)
which isactivated by a float. The Auto Shut Off switch stops the unit before the
bucket overflows, and turns the unit on again after the bucket is emptied and
replaced..
Direct Draining
If you want the water to flow directly to a drain, connect any standard garden
hose to the bucket connection (Bin Figure I ), or place the dehumidifier over the
drain. A standard garden hose has a 314" (19 ram) diameter connection with 11
112threads per inch.
Note: When using either of the above direct draining methods, you must first
drill a 3116" (5 mm) to 318" (10 mm) hole in the center of the bucket
connection. This will allow water to flow freely through the connection. Hose
should not be longer than 6 to 8 feet for proper drainage. To reseal the
hose connection on the bucket, use any standard hose end cap
IMPORTANT: Do not drink the water collected in the bucket.
