PARTS IDENTIFICATIO

INTRODUCTION

How LGR dehumidifiers work
Dri-Eaz LGR (low-grain refrigerant) dehumidifiers operate by pulling moist air in across a very cold evaporator core. The moisture in the air condenses on the coil. In certain conditions, the machine operates in defrost mode, warming any frost that has accumulated on the evaporator coil back into the water. The water collects in a tray and is pumped out through a hose.
Onboard sensors continually monitor environmental conditions and system operations of the dehumidifier, including temperature and relative humidity, which can be viewed on the display panel.
LGR dehumidifiers have better heat exchange and defrost abilities than regular refrigerant dehumidifiers, and are able to continue removing moisture in drier environments.

POSITIONING A DEHUMIDIFIER

For best results, operate your dehumidifiers in an enclosed area, as this creates a drying chamber. Close all doors and windows that open to the outside to maximize the unit’s water removal efficiency. Also, keep traffic through the drying chamber to a minimum. Place your dehumidifier against a wall, away from obstructions, and keep it away from anything that could block airflow into and out of the unit.

OPERATING YOUR DEHUMIDIFIER

Set unit upright
NOTICE:  If you transport an i-Series dehumidifier in a horizontal position, set it upright and let it stand for at least 30 minutes before you turn it on. When the machine is horizontal, the oil from the compressor flows into the refrigerant coils reducing the ability of the dehumidifier to function. Letting the unit stand upright for 30 minutes allows the oil to flow back into the compressor.
Set up drain hose
This unit automatically pumps out water on a regular basis. This dehumidifier is equipped with a quick-connect fitting for attachment to the provided 40 ft. (12 m) drain hose located in the side pocket. Unwrap the entire hose and place the open end in a sink, drain, bucket or outdoors – anywhere that water can drain out safely. If you use a bucket or other container for water collection, check it regularly to prevent overflows.

NOTE:  Uncoil and straighten the entire drain hose. Do not leave any part of the hose coiled on the unit and do not place the end of the hose higher than 20 ft. (6 m) above the top of the unit. Also, check for kinks or obstructions that would restrict the flow of water. Failure to do so may cause a water backup in the pump resulting in leakage.
Plugin the electrical cord
The i-Series dehumidifier should be plugged into a GFCI-protected 115 volt outlet rated for at least 15 amps. Remove the cord from its storage pocket and uncoil it. Always plug the cord firmly into the unit first, and then plug the other end into a suitable outlet.

HOW TO USE THE CONTROL PANEL

The i-Series Controller provides comprehensive dehumidifier controls and detailed real-time data about the drying environment as well as job hours, self-diagnosis messages, maintenance reminders and operating status.

AT THE END OF THE JOB

To reduce the possibility of drips when moving the unit, follow these additional steps to ensure that all water is removed from the unit.
NOTICE:  The unit will complete the defrost cycle even if the unit is turned off but still plugged in. If the unit is unplugged during the defrost cycle, excessive water may accumulate in the unit and may drip out when you move the unit.
NOTICE:  To ensure the condensate tank empties completely while purging, make sure the unit is placed upright on a horizontal surface.

1. Do not turn unit off or move it until it has returned to normal operating mode.
2. Gently rock the machine to ensure any water remaining on interior surfaces falls into the sump area.
3.  Press the PURGE key. When the purge cycle is complete, turn the unit off.
