Before Use
Operation
Read this manual carefully. It contains instructions to help you use,
maintain and enjoy your dehumidifier.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Grounding
This dehumidifier must be grounded. Grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by
providing an escape wire for the electric current.The power cord has a grounding wire
with a grounding plug. Plug it into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
UP
Button
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Call
a qualified electrician if you don’t understand the grounding instructions or if you are not
sure if the dehumidifier is properly grounded. If the wall outlet is not grounded, please
contact an electrician to have it replaced with a properly grounded outlet.
Control Panel
HUMISIDTAT
1. POWER
2. HUMIDISTAT: This allows you to adjust the humidity of the air.
You may set the humidity by pressing the UP and DOWN buttons.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the
power cord.
3. TIMER: Your dehumidifier can be set to go on or off at your desire.
This can be done up to 24 hours in advance.
4. TWO-SPEED FAN: When this you can control the fan speed.
Adapter Plug
You have 2 levels of Fan Speed for you to set at you desired level.
LOW will circulate air at the lower velocity and HIGH will circulate at the higher velocity.
Because most 2-prong outlets are not grounded, we strongly advise against using an adapter
plug. However, a temporary connection may be made where local codes permit and if the
2-prong wall outlet is properly grounded. Make sure the larger prong of the adapter goes
into the large slot to provide proper polarity.
5. CURRENT TEMP/TIMER SET DISPLAY: When machine is running, it displays the
current temperature. Press the “TIMER” button to set the machine to shut off or
turn on automatically after a specified amount of time.
6. BUCKET FULL INDICATOR: When light comes on, automatic flow control stops the
unit. Turn the unit off by pressing “POWER” key before emptying the bucket.
For Proper Grounding
1. Ground the adapter to the outlet by using the outlet cover screw to secure the ground
terminal to the outlet box.
7. AUTO RESTART: Turns the unit on automatically when the power returns
8. AUTO-DEFROST SENSOR (BUILT-IN): When temperature gets down to 60° F or
lower, ice may form on the evaporator coils preventing removal of moisture.
The IC stops the compressor when this happens but allows the fan to continue running.
When the ice is no longer present it starts the compressor.
2. Please confirm the outlet is grounded through the house wiring. If the grounding
connector breaks. DO NOT USE the dehumidifier until a proper ground has again
been made.
9. CURRENT TEMP/TIMER SET DISPLAY: When machine is running, it displays the
current temperature. Press the “TIMER” button to set the machine to shut off or
turn on automatically after a specified amount of time.
Extension Cord
If an extension cord is required to reach the nearest wall receptacle, use only a UL-listed,
3-wire, grounding type, 16 AWG, 15A, 125V appliance extension cord.
10. CURRENT HUMIDITY/SETTING HUMIDITY DISPLAY: Displays the current humidity.
If you press the “ADJUST HUMIDITY” button, the screen will show the humidity you set
and be back to show the ambient humidity 5 seconds later.

Safety
Operation
It is normal for the surrounding air to become slightly warmer as the dehumidifier operates.
This warming effect further reduces the relative humidity of the surrounding air.
Using
the Bucket
There are 2 ways to remove collected water.
1. Using the Bucket
Read Instructions Before Using
When using the dehumidifier, always follow basic precautions, including the following:
• This dehumidifier must be properly installed and grounded as described in this manual.
When the bucket is full, the red indicator light,“BUCKET FULL,”
will go on.You must turn the humidity control off before
removing the bucket. Wait a few minutes to allow the water
to stop dripping. Use both side handles to lift and remove bucket.
Pour water through opening and replace bucket. (See Fig.l )
• Never operate this dehumidifier in an area that is likely to accumulate standing water.
If this condition develops, disconnect the power supply before stepping into the water.
NOTE: All models are equipped with built-in water overflow control.The unit will shut down when the
water level reaches a maximum level in the bucket.This prevents the bucket from overflowing.
The maximum water level can be adjusted by lifting the red plunger located on the top of the bucket.
Turning the plunger clockwise about two turns will raise the water level.
• Repair or replace immediately all electric service cords that have become frayed or
otherwise damaged. Do not use a power cord that shows signs of damage along its length
or either the plug or where it is connected to the appliance.
Turning it anti-clockwise will lower the maximum water level.
Using
the Hose
• Always unplug dehumidifier before servicing or moving the unit.
WARNING: Make sure the drain cap be tightened before running the unit.
2. Use Continuous Drainage:
The water can be drained out continuously through a long hose that
connects to the bottom of the bucket.
Remove the bucket and remove the plastic cap on the bottom of bucket.
Then take the rubber insert out of the cap (Keep the rubber insert well
for use later). See Fig. #1.
Fig. #1
Using the supplied hose, thread the hose through the cap opening and
add the washer to the cap. Screw the cap to the threaded mating connector
on the bucket. Make sure to use the washer or the connection may leak.
See Fig. #2.
Thread the hose through the round hole and extend the hose to
the back of the unit. See Fig. #3.

Place the bucket in its original position.
