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 ¼-20 hex washer-head bolts supplied and a ⅜ in driver or wrench. Make sure the bolts 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. Otherwise it might shut off again.
