Important Precautions
- If used near a water source, be certain that there is no chance the unit could get splashed. Connecting the unit to a dedicated circuit with Ground Fault Circuit Protection is recommended. Electrical wires must be properly grounded, and with the capability to be disconnected to provide for service.
- The device is designed to be installed indoors in a space that is protected from rain and flooding.
- Tamper proof fasteners provide access to the front of the device for operation, maintenance and service.
- Avoid directing discharge air at occupants.
- DO NOT place sides, top or bottom of cabinet in direct contact with structural building members or unwanted noise may result. Unit is designed to be suspended by side mounting flanges only.
- Drain hose must be routed with downward slope from unit drain connection to appropriate location. Consult local building codes for acceptable condensate drain connections.
Location Considerations
-
Install the unit on or inside of an interior wall and with direct connection to building electrical service.
A 15 Amp circuit must be provided. Install the unit in a location that is near a power supply. -
Electrical and plumbing rough-in must be provided to installation location, adhering to any applicable local codes.
-
Install the unit in a central location to maximize air circulation and efficiency. Do not locate inside a closet or mechanical room with the diffuser cover facing inward where both supply and return air will be limited.
-
Install the unit such that discharge air is directed away from thermostats and not installed inside of a wall cavity that contains a thermostat.
-
The unit generates condensate. Install the unit with nearby access to a drain or determine if there will be a need for a condensate pump.
-
The unit will fit within 16″ O.C. stud walls. If walls are more or less than 16″, consideration must be given to providing additional support.
-
Rough opening must be a minimum of 2″ off the floor, 6″ from the ceiling, and 10″ from an inside corner.
-
Check that there are no hidden wires or pipes inside the wall where unit is to be installed. Contact a certified electrician or plumber before removing any wires or pipes inside the wall.
DRAIN INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Consult local building codes for condensate drain restriction and additional
requirements. The B33DHW is provided with 10′ of 3/4″ I.D. drain hose. Verify
drain hose length is appropriate for application.
The hose must be connected to the drain port and routed down the wall cavity
and into the air conditioning condensate drain or other acceptable drainage.
- For gravity drainage, the bottom of the unit must be at, or above the drain height.
- Avoid any entrapment of stagnant water within the hose.
- Consider 1/4″ drop for every foot of drain hose.
- Codes may dictate that a drain trap is necessary before or near to the main building drain.
Be sure to install the metal cover over the top of the hose. This prevents air from entering the unit through the wall cavity.

-
If using included power cord, insert cord through non-metallic cable clamp so that a minimum of ½” insulation jacket is inside of cabinet before tightening non-metallic cable clamp screws. Make electrical connections using included wire nuts.
-
Step 4. The drain hose can exit through the back, side, or bottom of the unit. Once the location is determined, remove the appropriate knock out.
If exiting through the bottom, remove the access cover to facilitate routing of the drain line.
Save access cover for reinstallation after drain line is routed. -
Step 5. After installation location has been determined, use a stud finder, locate and mark stud walls.
-
Step 6. Using measuring tape and pencil, measure 14 1/2″ across and 30 1/4″ down and draw a line.
-
Step 7. Using a square or ruler, score the lines and cut with drywall saw.
Depending on installation, both walls may need to be cut through. -
Step 8. If not using included power cord, route the electrical wire from the circuit breaker or disconnect switch through the wall cavity and extend out of the opening by 14″ to 20″.
Use the 10′ drain hose provided or the appropriate length of hose to come through the wall cavity or back of the unit and extend out of the opening by 14″.
If cutting through both walls, electrical wiring and drain hose may be routed differently. Use appropriate routing for your installation. It is recommended to have two people to lift the unit. Place one hand under the drain pan to support the unit during this step. -
Step 9. Lift the unit and place it near the wall opening to route electrical wires and drain hose through appropriate knock outs.
-
If access cover was not removed, insert grommet into knock out hole and snap into place before routing drain hose through.
-
Step 10. Once electrical and drain hose are routed through the unit, set the unit into the wall.
CAUTION: THE UNIT IS NOT SECURED YET.
Before securing the unit into place, make sure it is level. Level or slightly forward is acceptable, but never backwards. -
Step 11. Insert the dehumidifier into the center of the opening, allowing for a minimum of 1/8″ clearance from framing on both sides. Additional insulation or sound dampening material (not provided) may be required if the dehumidifier cabinet contacts the studs, especially in applications involving metal studs.
Fasten the unit to the framing by inserting four of the #10 (wood) or #8 (sheet metal) screws into the slotted holes.
Top and bottom blocking is not necessary for securing the dehumidifier. Any existing blocking, headers or framing should not intrude into the rough opening and be a minimum of 1/2″ away from the cabinet.
The cabinet is designed to create 1/2″ clearance to the back wall when installed inside a standard 2×6 stud space with 1/2″ minimum drywall sheathing.
For alternate installations, maintain 1/2″ clearance to back of wall of dehumidifier cabinet. -
Step 12. If the drain access cover was removed, reinstall it by routing the drain hose through the appropriate knock out and reattach the screw. Route the grommet over the drain hose and snap into place at the knock out.
Use 1/4″ hex nut screwdriver to apply hose clamp to the drain hose and secure onto the drain port hose barb. -

MAINTENANCE
WARNING
BE SURE THE UNIT IS POWERED OFF AND UNPLUGGED OR CIRCUIT BREAKER IS TURNED OFF
BEFORE REMOVING THE FRONT COVER TO SERVICE THE UNIT; IF THE SUPPLY CORD IS
DAMAGED, IT MUST BE REPLACED BY THE MANUFACTURER, ITS SERVICE AGENT OR
SIMILARLY QUALIFIED PERSONS IN ORDER TO AVOID A HAZARD.
Filter Maintenance
The B33DHW comes with a washable filter. Check filter every two months. Clean
or replace the filter as necessary.
Removing the Filter:
Remove the screws on the front cover and then push the front cover up gently
to free the cover hooks from the chassis. Filter is located on the back side
of the front cover. Gently remove the filter by lifting the bottom side
corners first to prevent bending it.
Filter Cleaning:
The filter can be vacuumed with a wet / dry vac or washed with warm water.
Reinstalling the Filter:
Insert the filter into the tabs on top of mount and flex the filter to insert
it into the bottom tabs. Reinstall the cover by lining up the tabs, sliding
down into place, and secure with included tamper resistant or phillips screws.
Diffuser Maintenance
It is recommended to use a mild detergent to clean the surface of the
diffuser, especially around the edges where the return air is flowing into the
unit (see illustration below). This is where air is being drawn into the
filter and may collect dust. Do not use harsh solvents on the diffuser.
The diffuser can be painted to blend in with interior aesthetics. Use only
paint that is recommended for polycarbonate surfaces and follow the
manufacturer’s recommendations for surface prep and application.
AIR FLOW
The B33DHW functions by drawing moist air in through the bottom portion of the
diffuser and returning dried air to the space out the top portion of the
diffuser.
Note: Avoid blocking the return and supply air flow to maximize unit
performance and prevent heat build up. Furniture must be at least 6″ away from
the diffuser.
CONTROLS
The B33DHW has an illuminated display, user selectable setpoint, and a power
ON / OFF button located behind the diffuser. The diffuser is fastened with
tamper resistant screws to limit access to the control. The diffuser can also
be fastened with the included phillips screws if limiting access to the
control is not needed.
When turning power on for the first time, the set point will be at the factory
setting of 55% RH. In the event of a power outage, the dehumidifier restarts
at the previous set point when power is restored.
Pressing the middle button (the power button), the control will toggle the
B33DHW to turn ON or OFF.
If the unit is on and power button is pressed, control will turn compressor
and fan off. As a result, both DISPLAY and LED will go off.
If the unit is off and power button is pressed, control will turn fan on. As a
result, both DISPLAY and LED will go on.
If there is an error, the unit will shut down and indicator LED will turn to
red and display will show an error code (see page 13 for error codes).
Sequence of Operation
-
Press the ON / OFF button to turn the dehumidifier control on. The display will show “00” for a couple of seconds and then it will display the RH level of the room and the dehumidifier blower will turn on to start sampling the air for one minute.
Indicator LED, located above display, will be green, showing the unit is operating normally. -
Pressing either of the arrow keys will cause the DISPLAY to flash and indicate the current set point. The RH set point can be adjusted from a minimum of 35% to a maximum of 99% in 1% increments. Adjust the humidity set point as desired. The recommended initial setting is 55%.
Pressing the DOWN arrow key below the 35% set point on the control will cause the display to read “00” and the B33DHW will run continuously. After 10 seconds, it will go back to display room RH level.
Ten seconds after making an adjustment, from either UP or DOWN arrow keys, the display will go back to show the room RH level. -
If the sensor detects a reading above the set point, it will run the fan to sample the return air for a period of one minute. The sampled humidity of the return air will be compared to the RH setting. If the humidity is above the setting, the dehumidifier compressor turns on. The compressor remains on until the measured humidity falls 3%below the RH setting. If the sampled humidity is below the setting, the compressor and blower turn off and the display returns to showing the RH setting. The dehumidifier will sample again every 15 minutes.
Diagnostic, Maintenance and Servicing
Error codes:
- “1” = Prompting a bad RH sensor.
- “2” = Condensate pump or external float switch is installed in the drain line and is detecting a closed switch.
- “3” = The delta temperature between ambient and evaporator coil not wide enough to reflect a normal operating condition.
Unit will turn off and try to restart after an hour.
