Thank you for your purchase of a GeneralAire
®
residential, whole house DH75 or DH100 dehumidier. We
appreciate your business and are pleased to have you as a GeneralAire
®
IAQ customer. You have taken an
important step in controlling indoor air quality to ensure you and your family's comfort and health.
Excess moisture invites the growth of mold and mildew, attracts unwanted pests, and can even affect the
structural integrity of your home. Bed sheets and clothing may feel damp. The air may smell musty. By
choosing a whole-house dehumidier, you have protected your entire home from such experiences. In
addition, maintenance of a whole-house unit is minimized vs. using a room unit. Moreover, a whole-house
unit is less noisy, and does not take up valuable living space.
Established in 1937, General Filters, Inc. manufactures the nest indoor air quality products you can count
on to improve the air quality inside your home. Prior to leaving our facility, your unit has been tested to
ensure proper performance.
IMPORTANT: Your unit is warrantied for a period of FIVE YEARS from date of installation. To maintain
optimal performance throughout the life of your unit, be sure to perform the recommended maintenance.
Your GeneralAire
®
dehumidier controls humidity levels throughout your entire home (when used in whole-
house applications). The unit continually monitors humidity levels in the air, and will automatically operate
to remove excess moisture when levels are higher than your setting selection. The dehumidier’s motor
draws air into the unit, through the dehumidier’s lter and across its cooled coils, which captures the air’s
moisture. Excess moisture / condensation from the coils falls to the drain pan and out of the unit's drain
port.
Your dehumidier also comes with the latest UL 474 Standard for dehumidier safety: a factory-installed
AFCI power cord. The AFCI power cord has been designed to supplement the protection of the GFCI's
and common circuit breakers. By detecting hazardous arc-faults and responding by interrupting power, the
AFCI helps reduce the likelihood of the home's electrical system being an ignition source of a re.
IMPORTANT: Turn the power to the unit OFF before performing
maintenance.
The DH75 and DH100 dehumidier comes with a MERV 11 pleated lter that
protects internal components from particulates and other elements.
IMPORTANT: This filter must be changed at 6-month intervals. If
your dehumidier is installed in a crawlspace, you may need to change
the lter more often (or less often depending on run times).
IMPORTANT: DO NOT OPERATE THE DEHUMIDIFIER WITHOUT
A FILTER.
