CHOOSING THE PROPER LOC
ATION
Use
the dehumidifier:
• in the basement to help prevent moisture
damage.
• in the kitchen, laundry room, bathroom,
and spa/exercise areas that have exces-
sive moisture.
• to prevent moisture damage anywhere
books or valuables are stored.
• during construction or remodeling to
reduce drying time for drywall and paint.
• Install the dehumidifier on a level floor
strong enough to support the unit with a
full bucket of water.
• For best performance, allow at least 12-
18 inches of air space on all sides of the
unit for good air circulation.
• Keep all outside doors, windows and
other openings closed when operating the
dehumi
difier.
Humid outdoor air will add to
the unit’s workload.
• For maximum efficiency, install your
dehumidifier in an area where the
temperature will not fall below 65°F.
