2. Use the ON/OFF Button (see Figure 2) on the control
panel to turn the dehumidifier ON. The first press
of a button will turn on the display light, so if
the display was dark, you might need to press it
again. Once ON, the display will show the current
dehumidifier setting.

3. The dehumidifier blower will turn on, the word
SETTING disappears from the display, and the words
AIR SAMPLING appear
(see Figure 3) . This wording
indicates that the dehumidifier is sampling the air to
determine if dehumidification is needed and shows
the measured humidity level.
If the control is already ON, lowering the setting will
initiate air sampling.

4. If the Relative Humidity (RH) is above the setting, the
compressor turns on to dehumidify the space. The
word DEHUMIDIFYING appears when the compressor
is turned on
(see Figure 4) .

ENERGY SAVINGS TIPS
ENERGY SAVINGS TIP #1:
Adjust the humidity setting to be as high as is
comfortable to reduce dehumidifier run time. If it feels
clammy or “smells musty,” lower the humidity setting. To
save energy, turn the dehumidifier to OFF when you open
your windows, just as you would with air conditioning.
ENERGY SAVINGS TIP #2:
If vacating your home for an extended period in the
summer, set the RH at 55% and set your thermostat as
high as you are comfortable setting it to in the cooling
mode. This will keep the humidity at a controlled level
while minimizing the amount of cooling energy used.
MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE FILTER
After initial installation the air filter and drain should be
checked and cleaned every 6 months.
1. Press the ON/OFF Button on the control panel to turn
the unit OFF.
2. Loosen the retaining screw on the filter access door
(see Figure 1) from the drain side of the dehumidifier
until it releases and then remove the filter door.
3. Slide the filter out of the dehumidifier.
4. Rinse the filter with water to remove dust and
collected particles from the filter.
5. Shake off excess water from the filter.
6. Clean the drain as described in
Cleaning the Drain
on page 5
.
7. Reinstall the filter. An arrow on the filter frame
shows the direction of airflow and it should point
into the dehumidifier.
8. If the filter does not slide back in, make sure the drain
insert has been properly installed.
See Installing the
Drain on page 9.
9. Replace the filter access door and tighten the
retaining screw.
10. Press the ON/OFF Button to turn the dehumidifier
back ON.
The CLEAN FILTER service reminder
(see Figure 5) will
display on the control every 6 months. To clear
the service message, press the p and q buttons
simultaneously for 3 seconds.
