What To Do
• Make sure the dehumidifier's plug is pushed completely
into the outlet.
• Check the house fuse/circuit breaker box and replace
the fuse or reset the breaker.
• The dehumidifier automatically turns off when this
occurs. Empty the bucket and replace properly.
• The bucket must be in place and securely seated for the
dehumidifier to operate.
• There is a protective time delay (up to 3 minutes) to
prevent tripping of the compressor overload. For this
reason, the unit may not start normal dehumidifying
for 3 minutes after it is turned back on.
• When first installed, allow at least 24 hours to maintain
the desired dryness.
• Make sure there are no curtains, blinds or furniture
blocking the front or back of the dehumidifier. See the
Choosing a Location section.
• For drier air, press the  pad and set to a lower percent
value (%) or press the Continuous pad for maximum
dehumidification.
• Check that all doors, windows and other openings
are securely closed.
• Install the dehumidifier away from the dryer.
The dryer should be vented to the outside.
• Moisture removal is best at higher room temperatures.
Lower room temperatures will reduce the moisture
removal rate. Models are designed to be operated at
temperatures above 41°F (5°C).
• Refer to the chart below to see if the capacity of your
dehumidifier is adequate.
• Close all doors and windows to the outside.
• This is normal. Frost will usually disappear
within 60 minutes. See the Automatic Defrost section.
• This is normal. Wait approximately 3 minutes and set the
fan to Normal or High as desired.
• This is normal.
• Check the tube to connector and the nozzle to hose
connections. See the Removing Collected Water section.
• Disconnect the drain nozzle if using the bucket to collect
