ENGLISH TROUBLESHOOTING Save time and money! Review the charts on the following pages first and you may not need to call for service. Problem Dehumidifier does not start Dehumidifier does not dry the air as it should Dehumidifier runs too much Possible Cause The dehumidifier is unplugged. The fuse is blown/circuit breaker is tripped. Dehumidifier has reached its set humidity level or bucket is full. Bucket is not in the proper position. Power Failure.

Clothes dryer may be blowing moisure-laden air into the room. Room temperature is too low. Area to be dehumidified is too large. What To Do Makes sure the dehumidifier's plug is pushed completely into the outlet. Check the house fuse/circuit breaker box and replace the fuse or reset the breaker. The dehumidifier automatically turns off when either condition occurs. Change to a lower setting or empty the bucket and replace properly. The bucket must be in place and securely seated for the dehumidifier to operate. There is a protective time delay (up to 3 minutes) to prevent tripping of the compressor overload. For this reason, the unit may not start normal dehumidification for 3 minutes after it turned back on. When first installed, allow at least 24 hours to maintain the desired dryness. Make sure there are no curtains, blinds or furniture blocking the top or back of the dehumidifier. See the Choosing a Location section. See the Care and Cleaning section. For drier air, press the ź pad and set to a lower percent value (%) or at the Nonstop setting for maximum dehumidification. Check that all doors, windows and other openings are securely closed.
