Safety Notes

• Always connect your dehumidifier using a grounded electrical connection (as required for all electrical appliances). The use of non-grounded wiring will void the warranty.
• Your dehumidifier should only be repaired by a qualified technician.
• Do not use the dehumidifier in standing water. If there is a chance that the dehumidifier has been flooded, unplug the unit, remove the cover, and allow it to dry completely before proceeding.
• Do not insert objects or your fingers into the inlet or discharge.
• Do not use water to clean the exterior of the dehumidifier. To clean unit, unplug from power, then use a damp cloth to wipe the exterior.
• Do not stand on dehumidifier or place objects on it.  Do not use with extension cord or plug adapter.
• Unless otherwise noted, all maintenance should be done with the unit powered off.
• The unit must be used in the upright position.
• Do not restrict airflow in to or out of the unit. This may cause the unit to overheat.

How It Works

Abestorm dehumidifiers use an integrated humidistat to monitor the conditioned space. When the relative humidity goes above the selected setpoint, the dehumidifier will energize. Air is then drawn across an evaporator coil, which is cooler than the dew point of air. This means moisture will condense out of the air. The air is then reheated through the condenser coil and distributed back into the room.

Installation

1. Place dehumidifier on a level surface.
   • Do not place unit directly on vapor barrier. For example, use blocks or pavers to create a level surface.
   • If unit has been turned or flipped so that the compressor did not remain upright, place the unit on a level surface and wait a minimum of 2 hours before proceeding.
2. Set up the drain line
   • Locate the dehumidifier near a suitable drain (16.4′ drain hose included}. Allow for proper drainage and routing of needed drain pipes
   • Connect the drainpipe to the quick connector of the dehumidifier before placing the drain pipe into the sewer
   • The dehumidifier is equipped with a built-in drainage pump to support the drainage height of 14.7′.
3. Plug dehumidifier into grounded 15 amp circuit.

Key Functions

1. Power Key
   Use this button to turn the dehumidifier on and off. Press once to turn machine on .You will hear one beep and the Power light will luminate green Press the power button second time and you will hear one beep as the machine shuts down. Note that there is a one minute fan delay on shutdown.

2. Arrow Buttons

   • Use the up and down arrow buttons to set the desired humidity setpoint on the dis play screen.
   • The setpoint can be any number between 36-90%.Creating a set  point means that when the indoor humidity is lower than the set point, the machine will stop automatically. Conversely, when the indoor humidity is higher than the set level, the unit will operate.
     NOTE: The humidity levels displayed are approximate only (+/-5%).

3. Continuous Mode

   • To switch into continuous mode, set the humidity below 36%.At this point the Cont. light should illuminate green on the display board to indicate you have successfully switched to continuous mode. The display screen will show “Co”.
   • When set to continuous, the dehumidifier will run constantly, regardless of the humidity level. To stop the dehumidifier from running, turn the unit off or switch back to normal humidistat operation. To stich back to normal humidistat operation, simply move the setpoint above 36%.

4. Manual Drain Button [ ]

   • If you need to store or move your dehumidifier, press the “Drain” button to remove water from the integral pump’s reservoir.

Indicator Lights

1. Humidity Display Screen

   • The display screen has two functions:
   1. When the unit is powered on, it shows the humidity of the space.
   2. While setting the desired humidity level, the screen will show the set humidity.
      After a brief delay, the display will revert to current humidity level.

2. Power Indicator Light

   • This light indicates that the unit is properly powered on and ready to operate. Always make sure this unit is “off” prior to performing any service.
   • When the power light is blinking, it means that the unit has reached the humidity setpoint.

3. Continuous Mode/Auto Defrost Light

   • When this light illuminates green, it indicates that the dehumidifier is set to continuous operation mode.
   • When the light glows red, it means the unit is in auto defrost mode and clearing the evaporator coil of any ice buildup.

4. Compressor Light

   • When the compressor light glows red, it indicates the compressor has been initiated but is currently warming up.
   • Once the compressor light switches to green, it indicates the compressor is in working status.

Remote Control Instructions

Abe storm Dehumidifiers can be controlled using an optional remote accessory.

Pump Maintenance
Your Abestorm Hurricane 140P is equipped with an integral condensate pump designed to pump water from the dehumidifier out to the desired drain.
The pump requires routine maintenance that is not covered by the warranty.

Preventative maintenance is necessary to prevent issues from dirt and slime that may accumulate in the drain system.
This includes the drain pan, hose to the condensate pump, pump reservoir, pump head assembly, and discharge tubing.

Removing the Pump

1. Remove the 7 screws on the side panel and set panel aside.
2. Remove the screw holding the pump in place.
3. Undo the 3 pump electrical quick connects and 1 drain quick connect
4. Insert a flat head screwdriver into the notch on the side of the pump.
   This will allow you to gently lift the pump off its reservoir (the reservoir remains attached to the unit).

Basic Pump Cleaning
Complete about once per year, depending on environment

1. Unscrew the 7 screws on the front panel. Press the drain button to drain the reservoir.
