Before Using your Dehumidifier
Grounding
This dehumidifier must be grounded. Grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. The power cord has a grounding wire with a grounding plug.
WARNING:Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Call a qualified electrician if you don’t understand the grounding instructions or if you are not sure if the dehumidifier is properly grounded, if the wall outlet is not grounded, please contact an electrician to have it replaced with a properly grounded outlet. Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
FOR PROPER GROUNDING
- Ground the adapter to the outlet by using the outlet cover screw to secure the ground terminal to the
outlet box. - Please confirm the outlet is grounded through the house wiring. If the grounding connector breaks.
Controls on the Dehumidifier
Humidity/Control
When starting the dehumidifier, turn knob to the right until unit turns on. Adjust knob to desired level of dryness turn the control knob clockwise for more drying. In the EXTRA DRY position, the unit will run longer and extract more moisture from the air.
Auto Frost Sensor
When temperature gets down to 60°F or lower, ice may form on the evaporator coils preventing removal of moisture The FROST CONTROL stops the compressor when this happens but allows the fan to continue running. When the
ice is no longer present it starts the compressor.
Red indicator Light
When light comes on, automatic flow control turns the unit off. Turn the humidity control off before emptying the bucket.
Fan Speed
High speed for higher moisture removal. Low speed for quieter operation.
Care & Cleaning
It is normal for the surrounding air to become slightly warmer as the dehumidifier operates.
Using the bucket

built water overflow control The unit will shut down when the water level reaches a maximum level in the bucket. This prevents the bucket from overflowing. The maximum water level can be adjusted by lifting the red plunger located on the top of the bucket. Turning the plunger dock wise about two turns will raise the water level Turning it anti clockwise will lower the maximum water level.

- Turn the dehumidifier off and remove the plug from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use water and a mild detergent to clean the inlet and outlet grilles. Do not use bleach or abrasives.
