CHOOSING A LOCATION
A Dehumidifier operating in a basement will have little or no effect in drying out an adjacent enclosed storage area, such as a closet, unless there is adequate
circulation of air in and out of the area.
• Do not use outdoors.
• This dehumidifier is intended for indoor use only. Place the dehumidifier on a smooth, level floor surface that is strong
enough to support the unit with a full bucket of water.
• ALLow at least 12"-18" of air flow on all sides.

• Use the dehumidifier in cooking, laundry, bathing and dishwashing areas that have excessive moisture.
NOTE: Place the dehumidifier away from a clothes dryer.
• Use the dehumidifier to prevent moisture damage anywhere books or valuables are stored.
• Use the dehumidifier in a basement to help prevent moisture.
• The dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed area to be most effective.
• Close all doors, windows and other outside openings to the room.
AUTOMATIC DEFROST
When frost builds up on the evaporator coils, the compressor will cycle off and the fan will continue to run until the frost disappears.
When the coils are completely defrosted, the compressor or fan (depending on the model) will automatically restart and dehumidification will resume.
CONTINUOUS MODE- GARDEN HOSE INSTALLATION AND SETUP
Water can be automatically emptied by attaching a hose to the continuous drainage port on the back of the dehumidifier. This will allow the unit to run continuously (depending
on the selected humidity level) without having to empty the water bucket. To drain, simply attach a standard garden hose (not included). The thread standard for garden hoses
in the US and its territories is known as GHT or "garden hose thread" which has an outer diameter of 11/16 inches(1.0625 inches or 27.0 mm) and a pitch of 11.5 TPI.
• Place dehumidifier on a level surface.
• Unscrew the cap on the back of the unit to access the garden hose nozzle
• Thread a garden hose (not supplied) onto the accessible nozzle, lead to a
floor drain and cut to length.Make sure that there are no kinks or knots in
the garden hose.
• Turn on the unit and press the MODE button until set to CONTINUOUS.
