Recommended Grounding Method This dehumidifier must be grounded. This dehumidifier is equipped with a power supply cord with a three-prong grounding plug. The cord must be plugged into a mating, grounded three-prong outlet, grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet is not available, it is the customer's responsibility to have a properly grounded three-prong outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Specific electrical requirements are listed in the chart below.
Control Panel NOTE: The control panel of your model may differ from the one shown above. ■ When the dehumidifier is operating, the indoor temperature will rise. The dehumidifier does not have a cooling /heating function. Heat is generated during operation, so the room temperature may be increased by about 6ºF(3ºC) depending on the usage conditions (indoor temperature, size of the room). The dehumidifier should be upright for at least 2 hours before use.
Empty Bucket Light Humidity Level If this light is on, the fan and the compressor will stop running. This light indicates that you need to check: ■ If the bucket is full, empty and re-install bucket. ■ If the bucket is not in position, remove the bucket and re-install it. Make sure the bucket fits all the way into the dehumidifier and the bucket light is off, or duhumidifier will not run. 1. Press the Plus or Minus button to set the desired humidity level.
4. Fold down the handle and reinstall the bucket. Option 1 Bucket Draining If a floor drain is not available, or you do not plan to run your dehumidifier continuously, you may want to simply empty the bucket. IMPORTANT: If the Empty Bucket light comes on, the dehumidifier will not operate. The bucket may need to be emptied or re-installed. 1. Grasp the bucket sides to slide out bucket.
3. Remove bucket. 4. Attach a garden hose to the drain hose connector on the inside of the dehumidifier. Securely attach the hose to be sure there is no water leak. 5. Place the other end of garden hose into a floor drain. Check to see that the hose lies flat and is in the drain. Make sure the draining end of the hose is on a lower level than the hose connection to the dehumidifier. The hose should not be kinked or pinched. NOTE: ■ The garden hose sold separately.
