SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR INJURY WHEN USING YOUR PORTABLE DEHUMIDIFIER, FOLLOW THESE BASIC PRECAUTIONS: Read all instructions before using the appliance. Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire hazard. Do not use an excessively wet cloth, industrial solvents, and oil-based products to clean this appliance.
INTRODUCTION How it Works When the dehumidifier is started, the fan begins to pull moisture-laden air across the dehumidifying coils. The coils condense or draw moisture from the air, and air flows through the top louver into the room as dry, warm air. Moisture removed from air is collected in a drain bucket on the front of the dehumidifier. The appliance is designed to operate between 41°F (5°C), and 96°F (35°C).

WATER DRAINAGE INSTRUCTIONS Using a portable dehumidifier requires that collected water be emptied frequently. Draining water from this unit can be done in 2 different methods: 1. DRAIN BUCKET METHOD 1. The drain bucket can hold up to 10 pints of water. When the bucket is full, the compressor and fan will turn off, the Water Full indicator will illuminate, and a P2 code will be displayed. 2. It is recommended to turn the unit off before removing the drain bucket. 3.
WATER DRAINAGE INSTRUCTIONS 2. CONTINUOUS / GRAVITY DRAIN METHOD Water can be automatically emptied into a floor drain by attaching the 20” continuous/gravity drain hose to the continuous/gravity drain outlet. To use gravity to drain your portable dehumidifier, it must be installed on a level surface or at least 12 inches above the ground, on a sturdy table or shelf unit. When using the function of continuous/ gravity drainage, your drain hose must be placed horizontally below the drainage hole.
MAINTENANCE Always turn off and unplug the dehumidifier before cleaning. 1. Cleaning the air grille and main unit Use a damp cloth to wrap the main unit or use water and a mild detergent. Do not use bleach, chemicals or abrasives. Do not splash water directly onto the unit. Doing so may cause an electrical shock, cause the insulation to deteriorate, or cause the unit to rust. Use a vacuum attachment or brush to clean the air intake and outlet grilles. 2.
