lt may be necessary to install a second dehumidifier in the enclosed area for satisfactory drying. 4. The dehumidifier must be installed on a level floor that will support it with a full bucket of water. 5. There should be a minimum of 12 inches clearance around the dehumidifier. How It Works When the unit is started, the fan begins to pull moisture-laden air across the dehumidifying coils. The coils condense or draw moisture from the air, and air flows through the side louvers into the room as dry, warm air. Moisture removed from air is collected in a bucket on the front of the dehumidifier. The unit is designed to operate between 41 °F (5 °C), and 96 °F(35 °C). The "Compressor" circuit has an automatic 3 minute time delayed start if the unit is turned off and on quickly. This prevents overheating of the compressor and possible circuit breaker tripping. Make sure the tank is fitted correctly otherwise unit will not turn on. 2009 Electrolux Home Products, Inc. All rights reserved. Operating Instructions Operating Instructions Allow the unit to reach room temperature before operating. To begin operating the dehumidifier, follow these steps: NOTE: Unit must be upright for one hour prior to operating. 1. Plug the power cord into a properly grounded 115 volt AC outlet. The POWER indicators will illuminate. NOTE: If the "BUCKET FULL" light is on, remove the bucket and re-install to reset the float switch. 2. To turn the unit on press the ON/OFF button. The unit will run in the factory setting of CONTINUOUS and high fan speed. In the Continuos Mode the unit will only display CO and not the room humidity. It is recommended you leave the unit running in the CONTINUOUS setting for the first three or four days until the sweating and dampness odors have stopped. 2009 Electrolux Home Products, Inc.

After a few days when the Relative Humidity has declined, press the HUMIDITY or buttons to choose a value between 35% to 85%, so the room is kept at a comfortable concentration. Pressing the or buttons will change the humidity selection in 5% increments. After you have set the desired humidity, the readout will display the actual room humidity. If at any time you want to return to the CONTINUOUS Mode, pressing the HUMIDITY button will lower the Relative Humidity through the 5% increments until the display reads CO. 4. You can also use the FAN button to change the fan speed to HIGH or LOW. The indicator light will show the setting you have selected. A higher fan speed will result in quicker moisture removal. 5. The FILTER RESET light will illuminate after 250 hours of operation. At this time refer to the care and cleaning section to remove and clean the filter. Once the filter has been cleaned, to extinguish the light simply press the FILTER button. 2009 Electrolux Home Products, Inc. All rights reserved. Operating Instructions Operating Instructions (continued) 6. The TIMER function enables you to either Delay Start or Delay Stop the unit in the choice from 0.5 hour to 24 hours.

TIMER setting: First press TIMER button, then to adjust timer setting, tap or hold the or button to change the delay timer at 0.5 hour increments,up to 10 hours, then by 1 hour increments up to 24 hours. The control will count down the time remaining (8,7.5,7, etc.) until the unit either starts or stops. For the Delay Start, the fan speed and humidity maintained will be the same as previously setting. After TIMER setting finishs, pressing TIMER button again at any time will cancel the TIMER function. The Delay Start/Stop Feature will work until the unit either starts ro stops. Once that happens the above steps have to be repeated again. NOTE: 1. Before entering TIMER setting, the power indicator must be lit to make sure power is being supplied to the unit. 2. Before entering TIMER setting, make sure first pressing HUMIDITY or button sets one desired room humidity. 7. To shut the unit down, press the ON/OFF button. NOTE: While the unit is plugged in the power indicator will remain lit. Only removing the plug will extinguish this light. 2009 Electrolux Home Products, Inc.
