3 Operation
Place dehumidifier inside structure,
place condensate hose into a drain, or
a very large container, and turn on. To
decrease drying times, make sure all
windows and doors are closed to the
outside and seal off the wet area from
any unaffected areas.
3.1 Transporting
The Phoenix R175 features a high-
impact roto-molded housing which
protects the unit airways, and while
loading into vehicles. The unit was designed to make it
easy to stack two high. The wheels of the top unit ‘nest’
in the indentations of the bottom unit to provide stability.
It is recommended the units are properly secured for
transport. The Phoenix R175 must always be upright when
transported by vehicle. It may be tipped onto its handle
and back for loading and moving by hand.
Read the operation and maintenance instructions
carefully before using this unit. Proper adherence to
these instructions is essential to obtain maximum
benefit from your Phoenix R175 dehumidifier.
• It is designed to be used INDOORS ONLY.
• If used in a wet area, plug it into a GROUND FAULT
INTERRUPTER.
• DO NOT use the Phoenix R175 as a bench or table.
• It must always be used in the upright position.
