Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the dehumidifier from its packaging. Retain packaging materials for future storage or transport.
2. Placement: Position the dehumidifier on a firm, level surface in the area requiring dehumidification. Ensure adequate air circulation by maintaining at least 12 inches (30 cm) of clearance on all sides and 24 inches (60 cm) above the unit. Do not block air inlets or outlets.
3. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a dedicated, grounded 115V, 60Hz electrical outlet.
4. Drainage Option Selection:
   • Water Bucket: For manual emptying, ensure the water bucket is correctly seated in the unit.
   • Continuous Drain: To enable continuous drainage, attach a standard garden hose (not included) to the drain port located on the back of the unit. Ensure the hose is sloped downwards to a suitable drain (e.g., floor drain, sump pump) to allow gravity to remove water.
5. Wi-Fi Setup (Optional):
   • Download the Frigidaire app from your device's app store.
   • Follow the in-app instructions to connect your dehumidifier to your home Wi-Fi network. This typically involves putting the unit into pairing mode and selecting your network in the app.
