SAFETY INFORMATION

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

The electrical requirements are a 115 volt 60 Hz, dehumidier only, 15 amp. It is

recommended that a separate circuit serving only the product be provided. The

product is equipped with a 3-wire cord having a 3-prong grounding plug. It must

be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded.

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit,

grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the

electric current. The cord provided with this appliance is equipped with a

grounding wire and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet

that is properly installed and grounded.

Avoid the use of three prong adapters or cutting off the third grounding prong

in order to accommodate a two prong outlet. This is a dangerous practice since

it provides no effective grounding for the air conditioner and may result in shock

hazard.

Consult a qualied electrician or serviceman if:

1) The grounding instructions are not completely understood.

2) You are unsure that the appliance is properly grounded.

3) You have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions.

POWER SUPPLY CORD

1. Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under

certain conditions. Have a qualied electrician or serviceman to install an

outlet near the appliance.

2. If it is absolutely necessary to use longer cord sets or an extension cord,

extreme care must be exercised.

a) Use only a grounding type 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade

grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the

appliance.

b) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord must equal

to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance. The longer cord

should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table

top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

NOTE: Neither BLACK+DECKER nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the

product or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the electrical connection

procedures.

WARNING

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk

of electric shock.

SET UP & USE

Page 9

Page 10

NOTE: When the bucket is full or removed from the unit, the compressor will turn

off but the fan will continue to run for a few minutes. This is completely

normal. The dehumidier will not be removing moisture from the air at

this time.

Over time, the dehumidier will create a more stable humidity in the area it is

located.

The more moisture the dehumidier removes from the air, the more often you

may have to empty the bucket unless you choose to use the continuous drain

option. The number of times the bucket will need to be emptied daily will depend

on the dehumidier model.

CAUTION: Do not place the water collection bucket on the oor when it is full as

it is uneven on the bottom and may spill.
