Unit does not dry air as it should

There are a number of issues that could be causing the unit to not work optimally. Please see below.

• Not enough time allowed for unit to remove moisture
  • When first installed, allow at least 24 hours to maintain the desired dryness
• Airflow is restricted
  • Make sure there are no curtains, blinds, or furniture blocking the front or back of the dehumidifier.
• Dirty filter
  • See the FILTER CLEANING section of INSTRUCTION MANUAL
• The humidity control may not be set low enough
  • For drier air, lower the percent humidity desired in the room or set the dehumidifier to CO for maximum dehumidification
• Doors and windows may not be closed tightly
  • Check that all doors, windows and other openings are securely closed
• A clothes dryer may be blowing moist air into the room
  • Install the dehumidifier away from the dryer. The dryer should have exterior venting.
• Room temperature is too low
  • Moisture removal is best at higher room temperatures. Lower room temperatures will reduce the moisture removal rate. This model is designed to operate at temperatures above 41˚F.
