DEHUMIDIFIER LOCATION
• Electrical service access and drain cleaning will require the
removal of the electrical service side panel (see FIGURE 9).
Allow sufcient space for service on this side of the unit.
• Allow sufcient space for the lter to be removed and
reinstalled�
• If locating the unit where it is not readily accessible (such
as a crawl space, an attic or even a basement for some
individuals), consider controls such as the Model 76
Dehumidier Control, which can be mounted in the living
space and wired to the dehumidier.
• For attic installations, suspending the dehumidier is
recommended to reduce noise transference�
• Always install the dehumidier in or above a condensate pan
when locating in or above a nished space.
LEVELING AND RAISING THE DEHUMIDIFIER
The feet can be adjusted to level the unit and accommodate
drain ttings and condensate pans as required. Leveling is
required to ensure proper drainage from the dehumidier.
If installing a condensate pump (see FIGURE 11) to the side of
the unit more elevation than can be provided by the adjustable
feet may be needed. Risers (Part #5879) or hanging kits (Part
#5822) are available to lift the dehumidier higher off the oor.
INSTALLING A CONDENSATE PAN UNDER THE DEHUMIDIFIER
Always install the dehumidier in or above a condensate pan
when locating it above a nished space� Adhere to local codes
regarding draining of the condensate pan� If a condensate
pump is needed, make sure it is in the condensate pan as well�
Install a oat switch in the condensate pan and/or use the
overow wires/terminals on the condensate pump to stop the
dehumidier should overow occur. See WIRING TO A FLOAT
SWITCH on page 9�
