DEHUMIDIFIER INFORMATION RECOMMENDED HUMIDITY LEVELS • Spring/Summer: 35% - 45% • Fall/Winter: 45% - 55% WARM AIR EXHAUST IS NORMAL During operation, your dehumidifier will exhaust warm air from the top of the unit. This is normal operation. EMPTYING THE BUCKET The more moisture your dehumidifier removes from the air, the more often you may have to empty the bucket (unless you are using the continuous drainage option). The number of times the bucket will be emptied depends on the dehumidifier model.

Use a mild detergent to clean the bucket.
CHOOSING A LOCATION A Dehumidifier operating in a basement will have little or no effect in drying out an adjacent enclosed storage area, such as a closet, unless there is adequate circulation of air in and out of the area. • • • • • • • • Do not use outdoors. This dehumidifier is intended for indoor use only. Place the dehumidifier on a smooth, level floor surface that is strong enough to support the unit with a full bucket of water. Allow at least 18” of air flow on all sides.
CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE Garden Hose Installation Setup Water can be automatically emptied by attaching a garden hose to the continuous drainage port on the back of the dehumidifier. This will allow the unit to run continuously (depending on the selected humidity level) without having to empty the water bucket. To drain, simply attach a standard garden hose (not included).
MAINTENANCE Note: Make sure power is off and the power cord is not plugged into an electrical outlet prior to performing any maintenance on the unit. Clean or Replace Filter - The Clean Filter indicator will illuminate every 250 hours of operation as a reminder to clean the filter. A clean filter will keep the unit operating at optimum performance. Remove the filter from the back of the unit by using your thumbs to press down on the filter tabs directly above the filter.
