Location Requirments
NOTE: Your model may differ from the one shown.
Allow at least 12” to 18” (30.5 cm to 45.7 cm) of airspace on the
side of the dehumidifier for models with side louvers and above
the dehumidifier for models with top louvers.
You will need a surface strong enough to support the dehumidifier
when its bucket is full of water.
You will need a surface level enough to keep the water from spilling
when the bucket is full of water.
Keep all outside doors, windows and other openings closed when
you are operating the dehumidifier. Humid outdoor air will increase
the dehumidifier workload.
Install the dehumidifier in an area where the temperature will be at
least 38°F (3°C). Lower temperatures will cause your performance
to decrease.
Do not block the louvers.

into the dehumidifier.
Does the bucket need to be emptied?
Empty the bucket.
All models have an automatic deicer that
will shut off the compressor and allow the
fan to run. When the deicer senses the
correct operating temperature, the
compressor will cycle back on.
