Automatic Defrost; Choosing A Location; How The Dehumidifier Operates - GE AHM65 Serie Manual Del Propietário

Using the dehumidifier.
When first using the dehumidifier, operate the unit continuously 24 hours.

How the Dehumidifier Operates

Moist, humid air is drawn over a cold refrigerated
dehumidifying coil. Moisture in the air condenses
on this coil and drains into a bucket (or through
a hose and drain).
Dry, clean air is drawn through the condenser
where it is heated and discharged out the front
grille into the room.
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.

Choosing a Location

A dehumidifier operating in a basement will have
little or no effect in drying an adjacent enclosed
storage area, such as a closet, unless there is
adequate circulation of air in and out of the area.
I Do not use outdoors.
I This dehumidifier is intended for indoor residential
applications only. This dehumidifier should not be
used for commercial or industrial applications.
I Place the dehumidifier on a smooth, level floor
strong enough to support the unit with a full bucket
of water.
I Allow at least 12–18 inches of air space on all sides
of the unit for good air circulation.
I Place the dehumidifier in an area where the
temperature will not fall below 41°F (5°C). The coils
can become covered with frost at temperatures
below 41°F, which may reduce performance.
I Use the dehumidifier in cooking, laundry, bathing
and dishwashing areas that have excessive
moisture. NOTE: Place the dehumidifier away
from the clothes dryer.
I Use the dehumidifier to prevent moisture damage
anywhere books or valuables are stored.
I Use the dehumidifier in a basement to help prevent
moisture damage.
I The dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed
area to be most effective.
I 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 coil is defrosted, the compressor or fan
(depending on model) will automatically restart
and dehumidifying will resume.

NOTE: The dehumidifier has rollers to aid placement,
but it should only be rolled on smooth, flat surfaces.

over objects.
