HOW A DEHUMIDIFIER WORKS

When the dehumidifier is switched ON, a fan pulls moisture-laden air into the dehumidifier, where it passes through dehumidifying coils inside the unit. These coils condense moisture from the air and collect it in the water tank. The dry air is then exhausted from the dehumidifier. The air flows through the air vents of the dehumidifier into the room as dry, warm air.

IMPORTANT: The dehumidifier is designed to operate between 41°F (5°C) and 89°F (32°C). The dehumidifier’s performance may be greatly reduced if the room temperature is beyond this temperature range.

UNPACKAGING THE DEHUMIDIFIER

• This Dehumidifier is packaged with a colored or transparent tape to secure some parts during transportation. Remove the colored or transparent packaging tape from the unit.

1. Gently pull the water tank out of the dehumidifier.
2. Remove the splash guard from the top part of the water tank.
3. Take out the power plug, drain hose, and other accessories, which are placed inside the tank of the dehumidifier.
4. Once all accessories have been removed, replace the splash guard onto the top part of the water tank. Make sure that the tank is properly positioned.

There is a Foam Float inside the water tank that senses the water level to automatically stop dehumidification when the water tank is full. Make sure the Foam Float is positioned correctly inside the water tank by ensuring it lies level with the top edge of the water tank.

DO NOT REMOVE THE FOAM FLOAT.
