INSTALLING THE DEHUMIDIFIER
DEHUMIDIFIER LOCATION
• Electrical service access and drain cleaning will
require the removal of the electrical service side
panel
(see Figure 12) . Allow sufficient space for
service on this side of the unit.
• The filter can be removed from either side of the
dehumidifier. Allow sufficient space for the filter to
be removed and reinstalled.
• If locating the unit where it is not readily accessible
(such as a crawl space, an attic or even a
basement for some individuals), consider controls
such as the Model 76 Dehumidifier Control, which
can be mounted in the living space and wired to
the dehumidifier.
• For attic installations, suspending the dehumidifier is
recommended.
• Always install the dehumidifier in or above a
condensate pan when locating in or above a
finished space.

LEVELING AND RAISING THE
DEHUMIDIFIER
The feet can be adjusted to level the unit and
accommodate drain fittings and condensate pans
as required. Use the top-mounted bubble level to
adjust the feet until the bubble is within the outer circle
(see Figure 13) . Leveling is required to ensure proper
drainage from the dehumidifier.
If installing a condensate pump to the side of the
unit more elevation than can be provided by the
adjustable feet may be needed. Risers or hanging kits
are available to lift the dehumidifier higher off the floor.

INSTALLING A CONDENSATE PAN UNDER
THE DEHUMIDIFIER
Always install the dehumidifier in or above a
condensate pan when locating it above a finished
space. Adhere to local codes regarding draining of
the condensate pan. If a condensate pump is needed,
make sure it is in the condensate pan as well. Install
a float switch in the condensate pan and/or use the
overflow wires/terminals on the condensate pump
to stop the dehumidifier should overflow occur.
See
Wiring to a Float Switch on page 12.
