Set unit upright

NOTICE: Transporting or storing the unit in a horizontal position is not recommended, as doing so can cause the oil from the compressor to flow into the refrigerant coils and reduce the ability of the dehumidifier to function and possibly damage the unit. If the unit has been placed in a horizontal position, set it upright 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 the unit’s 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

This unit automatically pumps out water on a regular basis. The condensate pump connects to a plastic drainage hose that is located in the pocket on the side of the unit. This hose is equipped with a quick-connect fitting for quick attachment to the provided drain hose. Unwrap the entire hose and place the unattached end in a sink, drain, bucket or outdoors – anywhere that water can drain out safely. If you use a bucket or other container for water collection, check it regularly to prevent overflows.

 

NOTICE: Uncoil and straighten the entire drain hose. Do not leave any 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 bottom of the unit. Also check for kinks or other obstructions that might restrict the flow of water. Obstructions may cause a water backup and result in overflows.

 

Plug in electrical cord

The dehumidifier should be plugged into a GFCI-protected 120 volt outlet rated for at least 15 amps.
