Use and Care Manual

The side air outlet can accommodate up to 10"
diameter lay flat duct or duct hose (not shown). This
allows for warm, dry air to be directed as desired.
The maximum duct length will depend on the type of
ducting used, however, regardless of duct type, the
pressure at the outlet (external to the unit) should
not exceed 0.15” water column external static
pressure.
Transporting
The VG LGR 3000 should be transported upright.
When transporting the unit, there is the possibility of
water spillage out of the pump reservoir or water
drainage off of the wetted evaporator coil. It is
therefore important to make effective use of the
manual purge to evacuate the water out of the pump
reservoir before moving the unit. After the OFF
button has been depressed, it is recommended that
a manual purge be initiated by depressing the
PURGE button. Then wait at least 15 minutes for the
water to shed off the evaporator and find its way into
the pump reservoir. Initiate another manual purge to
clear the pump reservoir of any residual water one
last time before moving the unit. Disconnect and
fully drain the drain hose before coiling it up and
storing it under the top cover.
CAUTION: If the unit has been laid on its back,
even for short periods of time, it must be set
upright for at least ½ hour before being plugged
in and started up. This gives the compressor oil
and liquid refrigerant sufficient time to re-
distribute. Failure to do so can cause premature
compressor failure, and voids the compressor
warranty.
If extremely poor road conditions exist, or excessive
shock and vibration are expected, take
precautionary measures by padding the unit to
provide impact absorption during transport.
CAUTION: Always be careful when moving the
dehumidifier inside a building or home. The unit
weighs 160 lbs. Older structures with weakened
floors and staircases may require special
considerations for safe transport.
MAINTENANCE
Air Filter
This product comes equipped with a MERV 8 dust
filter. The filters are not reusable, therefore please
do not attempt to clean and reuse them.
Replacement frequency is very subjective, as it
depends on the cleanliness of the job site air, as well
the duration of use. The air filter should be checked
regularly. Operating the dehumidifier with a clogged
filter will reduce efficiency. Operating it without a
filter will cause the internal workings to become
clogged allowing bacteria and mold to form. The unit
can also accommodate a higher efficiency
replacement filter of the same physical size and still
operate effectively.
CAUTION: This dehumidifier is designed to meet
or exceed safety and performance standards for
LGR dehumidification equipment. Use only
manufacturers’ replacement parts for service.
Use of aftermarket parts voids the product
warranty and all performance claims.
CLEANING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Turn unit OFF and Disconnect power supply
before cleaning. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in death, fire or electrical
shock.
External Cleaning
Use a non-flammable mild, non-abrasive soap and
clean water solution to clean the dehumidifier. Wipe
dry.
Internal Cleaning
Turn unit off and disconnect dehumidifier from power
supply. The heat exchange core can be removed for
