Caring for your dehumidifier
Your dehumidifier is designed to operate year- round. It needs practically no attention. However. you should check your dehumidifier and inspect the coils annually. Follow these instructions carefully.
You may call a service company to perform this annual checkup or you can do it yourself. Cost of annual inspection is the owner’s responsibility

2. Coils should be inspected annually. If needed. brush clean with warm water and mild de- tergent. Rinse and dry. Be sure power supply cord is disconnected.
COILS
3. The compressor IS sealed and needs no oiling
4. The fan motor is prelubricated and does not require further oiling under normal operating conditions. However, if the dehumidifier is oper- ated under severe environmental conditions
(dust, dirt, high temperatures) the fan motor should be oiled annually through the provided oil tubes (holes]. An easy to use capsule of es- pecially recommended oil (Part Number 10943)
IS available through your nearest Whirlpool
Factory Service Center, or use SAE #20 non- detergent oil.
5. Wash plastic parts with a soft cloth, warm water and mild detergent. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth.
6. Replace cabinet grille(s). Reconnect power supply cord.
Dehumidifier DE-ICER control
-he 48,40 and 30 pint models have a DE-ICER control This feature allows you to
.Jperate the unit in room temperatures below 65 F (18.3 C) Without this DE-ICERcontrol, ihe unit’s evaporator coil would form frost that could prevent proper operation
‘he SE-ICER control senses frost build-up on the evaporator coils. When frost build-up is sensed it automatically shuts off the compressor, but allows the fan to continue running
The fan draws air across the coil which melts the frost ‘V/hen the coil
IS defrosted, the
3E-ICER control automatically restarts the compressor ana resumes dehumidifying.
These units will not operate properly in room temperatures below 50 F (10 C].
If you need service or assistance, we suggest you follow these five steps: + -7 ,-
1. Before calling for assistance...
Performance problems often result from little things yogi can find and fix yourself without tools of any kind.
If unit won’t operate: l

Is an extension cord being used? Do not use an extension cord.
Are the coils iced or clogged with lint? l l
If unit ices up:
Is humidity too low?
Is room temperature below 65 F (18.3 C)? Coil will become iced over at low temperatures, except the 48,40 and 30 pint models which will operate down to 50 F (10 C). l
