Service
(Read carefully before calling for service)
If the Dehumidifier
Fails to Start
Make sure the unit is plugged into an operat-
ing outlet and the control knob is turned to
the number "8" position.
If the indicator light (most models)is on, emp-
ty the full water container. The indicator light
should now go OFF, and the dehumidifier will
begin to operate so be sure to quickly reinsert
the empty water container. If the dehumidifi-
er does not begin to operate check the float
arm to be sure it is free to operate. This is
located in the water container compartment.
Unit Runs, But Very Little
Water is Collected
The amount of water removed from the air de-
pends on the relative humidity of the air and
the capacity of the dehumidifier purchased.
When the air feels clamp (high relative
humidity), more moisture wii[ be removed
and the container will fii[ up more rapidly.
As the unit continues to remove moisture
and reduce the humidity in the area, less
water will be collected in the container.
Save Electricity and
Prevent Freeze-up
• In general, dehumidification is not LlSLla[[y
needed during conditions of low room
temperature (below 65°F) or low relative
humidity. Continued operation under these
conditions may cause frost formation on the
dehumidifying coil thus blocking the air cir-
culation. To save electricity and prevent pos-
sible damage to the unit, it is best to turn the
unit OFF.
Sounds
It is reassuring to know that your dehumidifier is
functioning properly. These are some normal
sounds which should not be a cause for concern:
• Air rushing over air drying coils.
• Hissing or thumping - refrigerant is flowing
throughout the sealed system and may
generate a "boiling" sound right after the
compressor stops.
• Compressor may "thump" as it cycles on
and off.
• Water dripping from coils onto the drain plate.
• The humidistat control, compressor and
fan "tick" as they turn on and off. Metal
makes a similar sound when expanding
or contracting.
For Models Installed in
North America - If Service
or Parts are Required
First, make the recommended checks. If it appears
that service or parts are still required, see your
dehumidifier warranty "How to Obtain Warranty
Service or Parts".
For Models Installed
Outside North America
For dehumidifiers purchased for use outside North
America, the manufacturer does not extend any
