OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1) When first operating the dehumidifier, run it in Continuous mode for 24 hours.
2) Power On and Off - Press the POWER button once to manually turn the unit on. Press the POWER
button once more to turn the unit off.
3) Humidity Selection - Press the “+” or “-” buttons to choose the desired relative humidity in the room.
Each press of the button will change the desired room humidity by 5%. The room humidity is selectable
from 35%-80% or continuous. The unit will cycle on and off to maintain the humidity level chosen on the
digital display. If you want the dehumidifier to operate continuously regardless of the room humidity, press
the (+) or (-) buttons until you see “80” or “CO” on the digital display. This will enable continuous op-
eration and the “Continue” indicator will light up on the control panel.
4) Fan Speed Control - Press the FAN SPEED Button to cycle through the different fan speeds: High,
Medium, and low. The fan speed can be visually distinguished by the fan speed indicators on the control
panel.
5) Timer - To program the unit to automatically turn off, press the TIMER button when the unit is on. You
can select either 2 or 4 hours with the Timer. Once the desired time (2 or 4 hours) is over, the unit will
automatically shut down.
6) Bucket Full - When the water bucket is full of water, the unit will automatically shut off and the Bucket
Full Indicator will light up. The dehumidifier will not function until the water bucket is emptied and
placed back inside the unit. The bucket should be cleaned every few weeks to prevent the growth of mold,
mildew and bacteria. Use a mild detergent to clean the bucket. Once clean, completely dry the bucket and
place it back inside the dehumidifier.
NOTE: Support bucket with
both hands when emptying
7) Replace Filter - When the filter needs to be replaced, the filter indicator will
light up. Remove the filter and clean with warm, soapy water. Dry thoroughly be-
fore replacing the filter. Once the filter is completely dry, place the filter back in
the unit and press the FILTER button to reset the filter indicator.

should not be used for commercial or industrial applications
Place the dehumidifier on a smooth , level floor surface that is strong enough to
support the unit with a full bucket of water.
Place the dehumidifier in an area where the temperature will not fall below 41°F.
The coils can become covered with frost at temperatures below 41°F, which may
reduce performance

AUTOMATIC DEFROST
When frost builds up on the evaporator coils, the compressor will cycle off and the fan will continue to run until the frost disappears.
When the coils is completely defrosted, the compressor or fan (depending on the model) will automatically restart and
dehumidification will resume.
CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE HOSE
Water can be automatically emptied by attaching a hose to the continuous drainage port on the side of the dehumidifier. This will
allow the unit to run continuously (depending on the selected humidity level) without having to empty the water bucket. To drain,
simply attach a standard garden hose (not included).
