Installation Instructions
You can use the EdgeStar dehumidifier to create a comfortable environment and prevent damage
caused by moisture to books or valuables in areas such as basements or home libraries. Follow
the instructions below to unpack and set up your unit.
1. Carefully unpack the dehumidifier from its box and packaging material, and remove any
adhesive tape holding the water bucket and filter in place. You may want to save the box for
storing and transporting the unit. Let the unit sit upright for at least 24 hours before powering it
on to allow the compressor’s fluids to settle.
2. Place the dehumidifier on a level floor or surface that is strong enough to support the unit with a
full bucket of water in a room where the ambient temperature will not drop below 41°F, and
away from any heat sources such as direct sunlight, heaters, radiators, dryers, etc.
Allow at least 10 inches of space all around the unit and at least 20 inches of space above the unit.
If
you have multiple power outlets in the
room, choose
one that
is
near
the
dehumidifier and that
will be able to provide
adequat
e
power to the
unit.
See
the power requirements liste
d
in the
produc
t
label
located
on
the
side, or on the
back
of your
dehumidifier.
3. Close all windows and doors.
To
be most
effective, use
the
dehumidifier in a
contained
room as
opposed
to a
partitioned
studio or
warehouse
type
space.
4.
To
activate
the unit and ensure the warning switches
are engaged, remove
the water
bucket
and reinstall it; otherwise,
the
unit may not work
properly.
5. Plug the unit in to a
grounded
outlet. (Read the “Safety
Information”
section.)
Note:
• Dehumidifiers working in a basement will have little or no effect on adjacent enclosed rooms
such as closets, unless there is enough circulation of air in and out of the enclosed area.
• The unit is designed to work in environments with temperatures between 41°F and 95°F.
