tray and is automatically pumped out through a drain
hose.
The EB80 is preset to automatically maintain a 50% RH
level. To change this setting, see "Humidistat Mode" be-
low. Note: Unit automatically shuts off below 40% RH.
CONTROLS AND OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Set unit upright
NOTICE: Always store, transport, and use the unit in
a horizontal position. If the unit is ever placed in a
vertical position, return it to the horizontal position
and let it stand for at least 30 minutes before turning
it on.
Positioning a Dehumidifier
For best results, operate your dehumidifiers in an en-
closed area. Close all doors and windows to maximize
water removal efficiency. Place your dehumidifier away
from obstructions, and keep it away from anything that
could block airflow into and out of the unit. For more in-
formation about creating an optimum humidity control
environment, contact EnviroBoss at 800-932-3030.
Set up drain hose
The EB80 condensate pump connects to a plastic drain
hose equipped with a quick-connect fitting for quick at-
tachment to the unit. To set up the hose, unwrap the en-
tire hose and place the unattached end in a sink, drain or
bucket – anywhere that water can drain out or be col-
lected safely. Connect the other end of the hose to the
EB80. If you use a bucket or other container for water
collection, check it regularly to prevent overflows.
NOTICE: Uncoil and straighten the entire drain hose. Do
not leave any part of the hose coiled and do not place
the end of the hose higher than 3 ft. (1 m) above the bot-
tom of the unit. Also check for kinks or other obstructions
that might restrict the flow of water. Obstructions may
cause a water backup and result in overflows.
Plug in electrical cord
The EB80 should be plugged into a GFCI-protected 115
volt outlet rated for at least 15 amps. Always plug the
cord firmly into the unit first, and then plug the other end
into a suitable outlet.
Startup display and normal display modes
When unit is first plugged in to AC power, the control
panel display will briefly cycle through a series of
readouts. This is part of the unit's self-diagnosis proce-
dure and no user intervention is required.
Turn the unit on
The control panel on the EB80 dehumidifier has a dis-
play and a touchpad with four keys. Press the ON/OFF

tion) and a self-diagnostics process.
Once the compressor delay countdown and self-diag-

display mode.

The first line of the display shows the total number of
