INSTALLING YOUR DEHUMIDIFIER

• Install the dehumidifier on a level floor strong enough to support the unit with a full bucket of water.
• For best performance, allow at least 12-18 inches of air space on all sides of the unit for good air circulation.
• Keep all outside doors, windows, and other openings closed when operating the dehumidifier. Humid outdoor air will add to the unit’s work load.
• Install your dehumidifier in an area where the temperature will not fall below 65°F (18°C). At temperatures below this, the coils can become covered with frost, which may reduce dehumidifying performance.

DEFROST CONTROL
When the defrost control senses frost build-up on the evaporator coil, it will automatically shut off the compressor. The fan will continue to run to draw air across the coil and melt the frost. When the coil is defrosted, the compressor will automatically restart and dehumidifying resume.
The defrost feature in the 580.53701 model will continuously cycle up to temperature of 43°F (6°C).

CHOOSING THE PROPER LOCATION

• Use the dehumid’d”mrin a basement to help prevent moisture damage.
• Use the dehumidifier in cooking, laundry, bathing, and dishwashing areas that have excessive moisture.
• Use the dehumidifier to prevent moisture damage anywhere books or valuables are stored.

AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF

When the bucket is full, or when the bucket is not in the proper position,the Bucket Fulllighttums on and the unit automatically shutsoff.
Also, when bucket is out of position,the unit will bsep 3 times.
The bucket must be replaced in the proper position for tho dehumldffier to work. The light will be on and the dehumidifier will not run if the bucket Is not in the proper position.

CLEANING THE WATER BUCKET

1. Pull out the bucket cover.
   • Place thumb at position and pull outward. Place other hand at position and pull up.

2. Clean inside of bucket with brush or dampened cloth.
   • We recommend using a mild detergent solution.

3. Replace the bucket cover.
   • Make sure tabs placed as shown.

REMOVING AND EMPTYING THE WATER BUCKET

1. Empty the bucket manually.
   When the bucket is full, pull out and empty it into a large sink or tub and then replace it properly.
   • Do not overtighten the hose when connecting it to the bucket. Use a rubber washer and tighten by hand firmly without stripping the plastic threads.
   • Be careful while taking out the bucket as it can cause damage.
   • Please do not shake strongly when you carry the bucket. It can cause to breakage of the handle or bucket cover. It is advisable to carry the bucket by supporting it from the bottom.

2. Attach a length of garden hose to the threaded bucket drain hose connection to carry water to the drain.
   The bucket has a threaded hose connection which can be left open. Drill a 1/4″ (6.4 mm) hole in the center of the hose connection. Once opened, the hose connection will continually drain water from the bucket.
   • The nozzle cannot be fixed after puncture. Use an ordinary garden hose cap to reclose if necessary.
   • When inserting the bucket into the unit. lifting up the bottom tip of the bucket lightly makes insertion easily. • When being attached to the bucket drain hose connection, be sure the hose doesn’t kink or bend. It should lie flat from the dehumidifier to the drain.
   • The hose attachment will accept a standard garden hose filling. You can attach a screw-on cap to use the bucket without a hose.
