PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION The purpose of the Aprilaire® Dehumidifier is to keep humidity in the house at acceptable limits to reduce the unwanted effects of high humidity. The dehumidifier measures the condition of the house air to decide when to run. INSTALLER – PLEASE NOTE! TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE/POSSIBLE REASON Dehumidifier is producing hot air • Reheat of outgoing air willcause a temperature increases acrossthe dehumidifier • Unit will possibly run continuously initially. After unit has "dried" home, dehumidifier will cycle, reducing load Dehumidifier not adequately dehumidifying • Unit will need time to "dry" materials in home before effectively changing RH. • Compressor is not turning on • System undercharged Dehumidifier is not draining properly • Check condensate trap to be sure it is clear • Check drain line for continuous slope Dehumidifier does not run • Follow all of the system checkout procedures. Make sure power switch is on! • Check that circuit breaker is not tripped. The dehumidifier requires a minimum of 8 amps. The dehumidifier should be placed on its own dedicated 15 amp circuit 1. INSTALLATION MUST CONFORM TO ALL APPLICABLE STATE OR LOCAL CODES. 2. A DEDICATED 15 Amp circuit is required for proper operation of the dehumidifier. If a dedicated circuit is not available, use a lightly loaded circuit. Do not use an extension cord. WARNING 3. For protection of the compressor, unit must be transported and installed in an upright position. If the unit was shipped or stored on its side, a 24 hour settling period is required before running the unit. 4. Note the dehumidifier is not intended to be used in pool applications.

SPECIFICATIONS "NORMAL" setting for most installations. Moving the knob clockwise to "MORE" will make conditions drier. Moving the knob toward "LESS" allows for higher moisture levels. Based on the indoor temperature, use the following table to Dimensions: 20 3/4" W x 24" L x 22 3/16" H Weight: 93 lbs.

NOTES: 1. %RH values are ±5% and are II. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS The dehumidifier dryness can be set from "1" or "LESS" to "7" or "MORE" based on desired comfort level. Most installations should be initially set between "3" and "5" or "NORMAL" setting; however this can be adjusted to your individual needs.
