Installation & Placement

Unpack and inspect contents. Place on a level, stable floor surface.

1. Clear the area: Ensure at least 12-18 inches of clearance on all sides for proper airflow.
2. Check for level: Unit must be level for the bucket to seat correctly and for proper operation.
3. Connect continuous drain (optional): Attach a standard garden hose (not included) to the drain port at the back.
4. Plug into a dedicated 115V AC, 60Hz outlet. Do not use an extension cord.

WARNING! Do not install in areas where the temperature may fall below 41°F (5°C). Ensure the power outlet is grounded.

First-Time Setup

Plug in the unit; the control panel will illuminate.

1. Insert the water bucket: Slide it firmly into place until it clicks.
2. Set desired humidity: Press the HUMIDITY button to select a level between 35% and 85%.
3. Select fan speed: Choose between HIGH (faster dehumidification) or LOW (quieter operation).
4. For continuous drain: Place the hose end into a floor drain or suitable container. The bucket does not need to be in place.

CAUTION! Always handle the unit with care. Do not tilt or turn upside down, as this may cause fluid from the compressor to enter the refrigerant lines.
