Area to be dehumidified is too

Doors and windows are open.

Frost appears on the

set

Fan noise

Water on floor

Dehumidifier has been recently

turned on, or room temperature is

below 41°F (5°C).

The compressor will turn off and

the fan will automatically continue

to run for approximately 3 minutes

at a fixed setting.

Air is moving through the

dehumidifier.

Hose connection may be loose.

Intend to use the bucket to collect

water, but a hose is attached.

• Make sure the dehumidifier’s plug is pushed completely into the outlet.

• Check the house fuse/circuit breaker box and replace the fuse or reset

the breaker.

• The dehumidifier automatically turns off when either condition occurs.

Change to a lower setting or empty the bucket and replace properly.

• The bucket must be in place and securely seated for the dehumidifier to

operate.

• There is a protective time delay (up to 3 minutes) to prevent tripping of the

compressor overload. For this reason, the unit may not start normal

dehumidifying for 3 minutes after it is turned back on.

• When first installed, allow at least 24 hours to maintain the desired

dryness.

• Make sure there are no curtains, blinds or furniture blocking the front or

back of the dehumidifier. See the Choosing a Location section.

• See the Care and Cleaning section.

• For drier air, press the - pad and set to a lower percent value (%) or at CO

(continuous) for maximum dehumidification.

• Check that all doors, windows and other openings are securely closed.

• Install the dehumidifier away from the dryer. The dryer should be vented to

the outside.

• The capacity of your dehumidifier may not be adequate.

Room temperature is too low.

• Moisture removal is best at higher room temperatures. Lower room

temperatures will reduce the moisture removal rate. Models are designed

to be operated at temperatures above 41°F (5°C).

• Close all doors and windows to the outside.

• This is normal. Wait approximately 3 minutes and set the fan as desired.

• This is normal. Frost will usually disappear within 60 minutes. See the

Automatic Defrost section.

• This is normal.

• Check the hose connection. See the Removing Collected Water

section.

• Disconnect the hose if using the bucket to collect water. See the

Removing Collected Water section.
