IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using this dehumidifier, always follow basic safety precautions, including the following:

• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.
• This dehum1d1fier 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 vourself.
• 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

• 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
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.

   Press to turn off the Clean the Filter light. See the Care and Cleaning section.

3. Humidity Set Control Pads
   The humidity level can be set within a range of 35% RH (Relative Humidity) to 80% RH (Relative Humidity) in 5% increments or at CO for continuous operation. To set the unit for continuous operation, press the V pad until the screen reads CO.
   NOTE : If CO (Continuous) is selected, the dehumidifier will operate continuously at its maximum dehumidification settings if attached to a hose to drain or until the bucket is full.
   For drier air, press the V pad and set to a lower percent value (%).
   For damper air, press the A. pad and set to a higher percent value (%).
   When you first use the dehumidifier, set
   the humidity control to 45% or 50%. Allow at least 24 hours for the dehumidifier to achieve the humidity level. If you still have damper air than desired, set the humidity level to a lower setting or select Continuous for maximum dehumidification.

4. Display
   Shows the set% humidity level while setting, then shows the actual (+/- 5% accuracy) room % humidity level.

5. Fan Speed Pad
   Controls the fan speed.
   Press to select either High, Medium or Low fan speed.

6. Delay Off
   While the dehumidifier is in operation, press this pad to set it to automatically turn off in 2 hours or 4 hours.

Other Features

BUCKET FULL light
Glows when the bucket is ready to be emptied, or when the bucket is removed or not replaced in the proper position.
Alarm
If the bucket is full or missing for more than 3 minutes, an alarm will sound for about 10 seconds to remind you to empty and replace the bucket.
Auto Shut Off
The Water Level Control Switch shuts off the dehumidifier when the bucket is full, or when the bucket is removed or not replaced in the proper position. NOTE: Fan will continue to run approximately 3 minutes after bucket is removed.
Auto 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.
Power Outage
In the case of a power outage or interruption, the unit will automatically restart, in the settings last used, after the power is restored.

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

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.

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 47°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.

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.

Removing Collected Water
There are 2 ways to remove collected water:

1. Use the bucket. When the bucket is removed, the unit will shut off. Empty and replace
   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.
   The bucket must be in place and securely seated for the dehumidifier to operate.

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

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

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

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

6. Replace the bucket in the unit.
   NOTE : The bucket must be in place and securely seated for the dehumidifier to operate.

Water level
The dehumidifier will turn off automatically when the bucket is full, or when the bucket is removed or not replaced in the proper position.

The bucket must be replaced in the proper position for the dehumidifier to work. The light will be on and the dehumidifier will not run if the bucket is not in the proper position.

Care and cleaning of the dehumidifier.

Grille and Case
To clean the case:
Use water and a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or abrasives.

To clean the front grille:
Use a vacuum attachment or brush.

Water Bucket
To clean:
Every few weeks, clean the bucket to prevent growth of mold, mildew and bacteria. Partially fill the bucket with clean water and add a little mild detergent. Swish it around in the bucket, empty and rinse.
NOTE: Do not use a dishwasher to clean the water bucket
To remove:
Remove the bucket and pour out any water.
To replace:
Slide the bucket into the dehumidifier.
NOTE: The bucket must be in place and securely seated for the dehumidifier to operate.

Air Filter
The air filter behind the front grille should be checked and cleaned at least every 250 hours of operation or more often if necessary.
After 250 hours of operation, the Clean the Filter indicator light will glow to remind you to clean the filter. Remove the filter and clean it. Replace the filter and press the Filter Timer pad to turn off the Clean the Filter light.
To remove:
Remove the bucket. Grasp the filter edge, and pull it straight down and out.
To clean:
Clean the filter with warm, soapy water. Rinse and let the filter dry before replacing it.
NOTE: DO NOT rinse or put the filter in an automatic dishwasher.

CAUTION
DO NOT operate the dehumidifier without a filter because dirt and lint will clog it and reduce performance.
