SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
INTRODUCTION
Dehumidifiers reduce humidity in enclosed structural
environments by removing water vapor from the air. With
proper use, the DrizAir can help dry carpet, carpet pad,
floors, walls, building contents and more. Using
dehumidifiers can also help prevent secondary damage
caused by high humidity. For best results, use the
DrizAir with Dri-Eaz TurboDryer® airmovers placed
around the perimeter of the room to distribute heat
energy and release moisture from wet surfaces into the
air.
WARNING! Electric shock hazard, rotating fan, hot
surface hazards. Unplug unit before opening cover
for cleaning or servicing. Unit must be grounded.
• Inspect the power cord before use. If cord is
damaged, do not use. Always grasp the plug (not
the cord) to unplug.
• Insert three-prong plug on power cord into a
matching electrically grounded outlet. Do not use
adapter. Never cut off third prong. Do not use an
extension cord.
• The unit must be operated on a 115V/60 Hz circuit
protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) device.
• Keep motor and wiring dry.
• Do not attempt to repair the unit. For Authorized
Service Centers, call Dri–Eaz at 800-932-3030.
How the DrizAir dehumidifier works
Dri-Eaz refrigerant dehumidifiers operate by pulling
moist air in across a very cold evaporator coil. The
moisture in the air condenses on the coil. In certain
conditions, the machine operates in defrost mode,
warming any frost accumulated on the evaporator coil
back into water. The water collects in a tray and is
pumped out through a hose.
IMPORTANT: Before moving the unit, make sure there’s
no water in the pump. See how to use the PURGE
function under “How to use the control pad” on page 2.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Unpacking your unit
POSITIONING A DEHUMIDIFIER
Retain all packing material and boxes for possible
equipment returns.
For best results, operate your dehumidifiers in an
enclosed area, as this creates a drying chamber. Close
all doors and windows that open to the outside to
maximize the unit’s water removal efficiency. Also, keep
traffic though the drying chamber to a minimum. Place
your DrizAir dehumidifier against a wall, away from
obstructions, and keep it away from anything that could
block airflow into and out of the unit.

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.
Managing temperature rise
DrizAir dehumidifiers warm the air as they remove
moisture. Optimal drying temperatures range from 68–
85°F (20–29°C).
NOTE: 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.
The most accurate way to monitor temperature is with a
thermo-hygrometer; however, you can use an
indoor/outdoor thermometer to gauge temperature. Just
make sure it is located in the center of the room away
from the airflow of the dehumidifier.
For more information about creating an optimum drying
environment, contact Dri-Eaz at 800-932-3030.
Plug in electrical cord
Locate the electrical cord either on the top or back of the
unit. The DrizAir dehumidifier may be plugged in to a
115-volt (15 amp) grounded outlet, which is standard in
most homes.
OPERATING YOUR DEHUMIDIFIER
Set unit upright
NOTE: 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.
Always operate the dehumidifier in an upright position. If
the unit has been stored or transported in a horizontal
position, set it upright (vertical) for at least 30 minutes
before operating it. When the unit is placed in a
horizontal, oil from the compressor flows into the
refrigerant coils reducing the ability of the dehumidifier to
function.
Turn the unit on
Press the “on” button on the control panel.
How to use the control panel
FIG. A: FRONT
The control panel on DrizAir dehumidifiers has one
display and four keys. The normal display messages are

The DrizAir condensate pump connects to a plastic
drainage hose that is wrapped around the air outlet
located at the back of the unit. This hose is equipped
with a quick-connect fitting for quick attachment to the
provided 40 ft. drain hose. Unwrap the entire hose and
place the unattached end in a sink, drain, bucket or

1. Turn the power off using the OFF key, and let the unit
sit plugged in for about 10 minutes. This allows water to
drip from the coils and collect in the drip pan.
ON-OFF. Press the ON-OFF key to turn the unit on
or off. When turning the machine on, usually the display
reads CMPRSR DELAY and performs a numeral count
down from a maximum of 60 seconds to 0. The
compressor delay gives the machine time to warm up
(when needed). If you don’t see a compressor delay
countdown, the machine is ready to go. Once the unit
completes the CMPRSR DELAY, the display reads
DEHUMIDIFIER ON, and continues to cycle between
TOTAL HOURS, JOB HOURS and DEHUMIDIFIER ON.
Press the ON-OFF key again to turn the unit off. The
display will read DEHUMIDIFIER OFF.
2. Press PURGE to remove residual water.
Defrost mode
During normal operation, the temperature sensor detects
frost forming on the coils, causing a defrost cycle to
start. The display will read DEFROST ON.
Dehumidification stops during the defrost cycle. When
the unit completes the cycle, the display returns to
DEHUMIDIFIER ON.
