Setting up your dehumidifier

Preparing your dehumidifier

• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Clean the exterior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.

Finding a suitable location 

• This dehumidifier is designed to be free standing.
• Place your dehumidifier on a solid floor that is strong enough to support it when the water tank is full.
• The working environment should be between 41° F (5° C) and 90° F (32° C).
• Locate the dehumidifier away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove,
  heater, radiator, and so on). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and
  heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Ambient temperature below 41° F (5° C) and above 90° F (32° C) will hinder the performance of this appliance.

Connecting to power

• Plug your dehumidifier into a dedicated, properly installed, grounded wall outlet. This appliance should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other operating appliances. Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized service center.
• Do not use an extension cord with this dehumidifier. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet near the appliance. Use of an extension cord can negatively affect the dehumidifier’s performance.
• Remove the power cord storage bracket from your dehumidifier’s water tank (on the front), then insert the power cord storage bracket into the back of your dehumidifier. The power cord storage bracket will click into place.
