Auto-Defrost
When the unit
is
operated
in temperatures below
54°F
the surface of
the
evaporator
may
accumulate
a layer of frost which will
reduce the
efficiency
and effectiveness of the
dehumidifier. When this occurs,
the
unit will
automatically activate
its auto-defrost feature.
The
time
required
to
complete
the auto-defrost cycle varies and
is
dependent
on
the
ambient
temperature
and relative humidity of the
operating environment.
The
auto-defrost
indicator
located
on the control panel will light up
when
the auto-defrost feature
is
running.
