! CAUTION  
To reduce the risk of injury to persons, malfunction, or damage to the product or property when  
using the appliance, follow basic safety precautions, including the following:  
INSTALLATION  
• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose.  
This product is not designed for preserving precision instruments, tableware or art works.  
• Use the appliance only in a well-ventilated area.  
Keep the area well ventilated, especially if also using a combustion appliance. Inadequate  
ventilation reduces the oxygen level in the air.  
• Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull  
straight out from the outlet.  
• Do not use the product in places where chemicals are used.  
Chemicals and solvents dissolved in the air in places such as hospitals, factories, laboratories  
and hair salons could cause product deformation and leaking, resulting in property damage.  
• Turn off the dehumidifier and pull out the power plug before cleaning.  
Wait for the fan to stop moving.  
• Do not operate the dehumidifier without a filter.  
Using the product without a filter could result in a reduced product lifespan, electric shock or  
injury.  
OPERATION  
• Do not use the product for preserving animals/plants, precision instruments, art works etc.  
• Do not place vases or water jars on the dehumidifier.  
• Turn off the dehumidifier and empty the water bucket before moving the dehumidifier.  
• Pull out the power plug if you will not be using the product for an extended period.  
• Do not use the product in a very small space such as a closet.  
Poor ventilation could result in overheating or fire.  
• Do not use wax, thinner or a strong detergent when cleaning. Wipe the product using a soft  
cloth.  
Using inappropriate cleaning products could cause the product to become discolored or  
develop surface flaws.  
• Do not use the product in direct sunlight or rain.

BEFORE USE

BEFORE USE  
Indoor temperature and relative humidity affect dehumidification.  
- Dehumidification is decreased if the temperature or relative humidity is low.  
- The product does not operate unless the desired humidity level is lower than the current  
humidity level.  
This product operates at temperatures from 41 °F - 90 °F (5 °C - 32 °C).  
- At temperatures of 32 °F (0 °C) or less, water freezes inside the product.  
- At temperatures over 90°F (32 °C), the internal temperature of the product trips a protective  
device which deactivates the product to avoid product damage.  
When the dehumidifier is operating, the indoor temperature will rise.  
- The demumidifier does not have a cooling/heating function.  
- Heat is generated during operation, so the room temperature may be increased by about 5 °F  
(3 °C) depending on the usage conditions (indoor temperature, size of the room).  
The compressor has a 3-minute delay before restarting.  
- If the product is stopped and immediately restarted, to protect the compressor there is a  
3-minute delay until the compressor restarts.  
The product cannot be operated continuously for more than 23 hours.  
After 23 hours of continuous operation, the compressor automatically shuts off for one hour to  
prevent product damage. The compressor will restart after one hour. This Safety Standby  
function is normal.  
Install the product at least 11 13/16" (30 cm) from walls or other obstacles.  
The product needs clearance for air intake and exhaust purposes.  
There may be water in the drain water bucket before first use.  
Water may remain in the drain water bucket from the product's outgoing inspection to check  
operation. This is normal.
