Tips Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions

???Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner???s Manual.

???This dehumidifier must be properly installed and grounded as described

in this manual before it is used.

???Never operate this dehumidifier in an area that is likely to accumulate standing water.

If this condition develops, for your safety disconnect the power supply before stepping into the water.

???Never unplug your dehumidifier by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle.

???Replace immediately all electric service cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. A damaged power supply cord must be replaced with a new power supply cord obtained from the manufacturer and not repaired. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either the plug or connector end.

???If the receptacle does not match the plug, the receptacle must be changed out by a qualified electrician

???Turn the dehumidifier OFF and unplug it before cleaning.

???GE does not support any servicing of

the dehumidifier. We strongly recommend that you do not attempt to service the dehumidifier yourself.

???For your safety, do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

???All dehumidifiers contain refrigerants, which under federal law must be removed prior to product disposal. If you are getting rid of an old product with refrigerants, check with the company handling disposal about what to do.

???Do not use outdoors.

???This dehumidifier is intended for indoor residential applications only. This dehumidifier should not be used

for commercial or industrial applications.

???These R410A Dehumidifier Systems require contractors and technicians to use tools, equipment and safety standards approved for use with this refrigerant. DO NOT use equipment certified for R22 refrigerant only.

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

Consumer Support Troubleshooting

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

DO NOT use an adapter plug with this appliance.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric

shock hazard from this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encountered,

it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

The dehumidifier should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet, which has a voltage rating matching the rating plate.

This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits, which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

Instructions Safety

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord.

However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed, 14 -gauge, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having

a grounding-type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 125 volts.

When first using the dehumidifier, operate the unit continuously for 24 hours.

Safety

How the Dehumidifier Operates

Moist, humid air is drawn over a cold refrigerated dehumidifying coil. Moisture in the air condenses on this coil and drains into a bucket (or through

a hose and 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 become slightly warmer as the dehumidifier operates.

Automatic Defrost

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 is defrosted, the compressor or fan will automatically restart and dehumidifying will resume.

Operating Instructions

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.

???Do not use outdoors.

???This dehumidifier is intended for indoor residential applications only. This dehumidifier should not be used for commercial or industrial applications.

???Place the dehumidifier on a smooth, level floor strong enough to support the unit with a full bucket of water.

???Allow at least 12???18 inches of air space on all sides of the unit for good air circulation.

???Place the dehumidifier in an area where the temperature will not fall below 41??F (5??C). The coils can become covered with frost at temperatures below 41??F, which may reduce performance.

???Use the dehumidifier in cooking, laundry, bathing and dishwashing areas that have excessive moisture. NOTE: Place the dehumidifier away

from the clothes dryer.

???Use the dehumidifier to prevent moisture damage anywhere books or valuables are stored.

???Use the dehumidifier in a basement to help prevent moisture damage.

???The dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed area to be most effective.

???Close all doors, windows and other outside openings to the room.

YESNO

NOTE: The dehumidifier has rollers to aid placement, but it should only be rolled on smooth, flat surfaces. Do not attempt to roll the dehumidifier on carpet or over objects.

Instructions

Using the dehumidifier.

Always make sure the water bucket is locked into place on the dehumidifier.

Operating Instructions Safety

Removing Collected Water

There are 2 ways to remove collected water:

Use the bucket. When the bucket is removed, the unit will shut off. Empty and replace

the bucket.

Note: Support bucket with both hands when emptying.

IMPORTANT: Do not use the hose if using the bucket to collect water. When the hose is connected, water will flow through it onto the floor instead of into the bucket.

NOTES:

???Do not remove the bucket while the dehumidifier is operating or if it has just stopped operating. This might cause some water to drip from the drain pan.

Use a hose. Water can be automatically emptied into a floor drain by attaching a garden water hose (not included).

1.Remove the bucket from the front of the unit.

2.Open the drain cover on the side of the unit.

3.Thread a garden hose (not supplied) onto the nozzle, cut to length, and lead it to the floor drain.
