Using the dehumidifier. GEApp,oncescom
When first using the dehumidifier, operate the unit continuously for 24 hours.
How the Dehumidifier Operates Automatic Defrost
Moist, humid air is drawn over a cold refrigerated dehumidifying
coil. Moisture inthe air condenses on this coil and drains into a
bucket (or through
a hoseand drain).
Dry,clean air is drawn through the condenser where it is heated
and discharged out the top grille into the room.
It is normal for the surrounding air to becomeslightly warmer as the
dehumidifier operates.
When frost builds up on the evaporator coils,the compressor will
cycle off and the fan will continue to run until the frost disappears.
When the coil isdefrosted, the compressor or fan will automatically
restart and dehumidifying will resume.
Choosing a Location
A dehumidifier operating in a basement will have little or no effect in
drying an adjacent enclosed storage area, such as a closet, unless
there is adequate circulation of air in and out of the area.
