Controls and Operating
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Unpacking your unit
Retain all packing material and boxes for possible equipment returns.
Install the handle
The 1200 is shipped without the handle attached. Install the handle using the four ¼-
are firmly secured before using the unit. Do not overtighten.
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 enclosed area. Close all doors and
windows that open to the outside 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.
SET UP DRAIN HOSE
The 1200 condensate pump connects to a plastic drainage hose that is wrapped
around the air outlet located at the back of the unit. Unwrap the entire hose and place
the unattached end in a sink, drain, bucket or outside – anywhere that water can drain
out safely. If you use a bucket or other receptacle for water collection, check it
regularly to prevent spills.
NOTICE: Uncoil and straighten the entire drain hose. Do not leave any of part of the
hose coiled on the unit and do not place the end of the hose higher than 20 ft. (6 m)
above the top of the unit. Also check for kinks, or obstructions that would restrict the
flow of water. Failure to do so may cause a water backup in the pump resulting in
leakage.
PLUG IN ELECTRICAL CORD
The 1200 dehumidifier should be plugged into a GFCI-protected 115 volt outlet rated
for at least 15 amps.
If the unit experiences a loss of power, either from a power interruption or from
thermal overload protection, let the unit rest for five minutes before restarting.
