SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! Do not alter or modify your unit in any way. Use only replacement parts authorized by Legend Brands. Modifications or use of unapproved parts could create a hazard and will void your warranty. Contact your local distributor for assistance.
WARNING! Electric shock hazard, rotating fan, hot surface hazards. Unplug unit before opening cover for cleaning or servicing. Unit must be grounded.

CORRECT PLUG REMOVAL
Grasp IEC plug and pull straight out
IMPORTANT: Damage to IEC receptacle or dehumidifier resulting from improper removal of the power cord is not covered by warranty. The IEC power cord is a wear item and is not covered by a warranty.

• Inspect the power cord before use. If the cord is damaged, do not use. Always grasp the plug (not the cord) to unplug.
• Insert a three-prong plug-on power cord into a matching electrically grounded outlet. Do not use an adapter. Never cut off the third prong. Do not use an extension cord.
• The unit must be operated on a 120V/60Hz circuit protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) device.
• Keep motor and wiring dry.
• Do not attempt to repair the unit. For Authorized Service Centers, contact Legend Brands.

NOTICE : Do not use in environments where corrosive chemicals are present, such as chlorine.

INTRODUCTION

LGR (low-grain refrigerant) dehumidifiers utilize an internal pre-cooling system to boost water removal efficiency. LGR units can continue to remove moisture in drier environments where conventional refrigerants cannot.

OPERATING YOUR DEHUMIDIFIER

Set unit upright
NOTICE: Transporting or storing the unit in a horizontal position is not recommended. When the machine is placed in a horizontal position, the oil from the compressor can flow into the refrigerant coils and reduce the ability of the dehumidifier to function and possibly damage the unit. If the unit has been placed in a horizontal position, set it upright and let it stand for at least 30 minutes before turning it on.
Positioning a Dehumidifier
For best results, operate your dehumidifiers in an enclosed area. Close all doors and windows that open to the outside to maximize the unit’s water removal efficiency. Place your dehumidifier away from obstructions, and keep it away from anything that could block airflow into and out of the unit. For more information, contact your Legend Brands distributor.

Set up drain hose
This unit automatically pumps out water on a regular basis. The condensate pump connects to a plastic drainage hose that is located in the pocket on the side of the unit. This hose is equipped with a quick-connect fitting for quick attachment to the provided drain hose. Unwrap the entire hose and place the unattached 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.

NOTICE: 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 bottom of the unit. Also, check for kinks or other obstructions that might restrict the flow of water. Obstructions may cause a water backup and result in overflows.
Plugin the electrical cord
The dehumidifier should be plugged into a GFI-protected 120-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

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: To ensure all water is removed from the dehumidifier, the unit will complete the defrost cycle even if the unit is turned off. 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 the 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.
4. Remove the external drain hose, drain it carefully, coil it and secure it with one of the straps provided on the side of the unit.

TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE

IMPORTANT: Before moving, transporting or storing, purge unit and stow hose and power cord as described in the “At the End of the Job” section above.
NOTICE: Handle the unit carefully. Do not drop, throw or place the unit where it could fall. Rough treatment can damage the dehumidifier and may create a hazardous condition or void the warranty.

• Do not expose the control panel to moisture, snow or rain.
• Store and transport securely to avoid any damaging impact to internal parts.
• Secure during transport to prevent sliding and possible injury to vehicle occupants.
• Do not transport or store the unit on its front, sides or back. This will help to prevent any remaining moisture from escaping from the unit or flowing into areas outside the sump.

Special tip for transporting on stairs:
Before transporting the unit on stairs, follow these additional steps to ensure that all water is removed from the unit:

1. Turn the unit off after a defrost cycle has been completed. Gently rock the upright machine on its wheels to ensure any water remaining on interior surfaces falls into the sump area.
2. Press the PURGE key. When the purge cycle is complete, turn the unit off.
3. Remove the external drain hose, drain it carefully, and return it to the pocket provided on the side of the unit.
4. IMPORTANT: Remove the power cord from base of the unit, coil it neatly, and place it in the cord storage pocket. This will prevent the cord from catching on the stairs and possibly damaging the cord.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

WARNING! ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD. Unplug the dehumidifier before performing any maintenance.
WARNING: Risk of dust and contaminants exposure. Use of respirator mask and gloves is recommended. If unit has been exposed to potentially dangerous contaminants, clean thoroughly and sanitize before reuse.
NOTICE: The unit is fitted with sensitive electronic sensors. Protect the sensors and their lead wires from damage and do not expose them to water or cleaning solutions.

The following tools and supplies are needed to complete the maintenance procedures described in this manual:
Philips and flat blade screwdrivers Needle-nose pliers
9 ∕16 in. wrench
3 ∕8 in. nut driver or socket
5 ∕16 in. socket (to remove pump)
6 in. socket extension
Ratchet wrench
Cleaning cloths
HEPA vacuum cleaner with soft brush nozzle and crevice nozzle.
Recommended
Cordless drill, small knife, small-jaw pliers, coil cleaning solution, Rotomolded housing cleaning solution
Before each use
Inspect the electrical cord for damage. Look for fraying, cuts, etc. Replace the cord if you find any damage.
Inspect filter. Replace if the accumulation of dust and debris is visible.
NOTICE: Replace used filters only with a new Legend Brands 4-PRO filter part no. #100250 (F581) (24-pack). Other filter types do not provide adequate filtration or airflow. Each filter is individually wrapped to protect filtration effectiveness. Remove the wrapper before installing the filter into the dehumidifier.
Monthly
Inspect coils and heat exchange block. Clean when dust accumulation is visible. In normal use, dust can accumulate and can restrict air flow, reducing performance and causing the unit to overheat. See “Disassembling the unit to clean coils and the heat exchange block,” below.
To maintain the appearance, wipe interior and exterior surfaces with a damp cloth. For deep cleaning and a lasting, protective shine, use a similar automotive interior treatment.
As Needed
Clean Pump Check Valve and Basin. This requires the removal of the back cover.
Clean coils and heat exchange block. Inspect the horizontal evaporator (cold) coil with the back cover removed. If excessive dust and debris is present, vacuum thoroughly and/or clean with alkaline (nonacidic) coil cleaner.
