NOTICE The following statements indicate a situation which can cause damage to the equipment and personal property, or cause the equipment to operate improperly. · Do not use in pool applications. Pool chemicals can damage the dehumidifier. · Do not use solvents or cleaners on or near the circuit board. Chemicals can damage circuit board components. · Wait 24 hours before running the unit if it was not shipped or stored in the upright position. · Do not use dehumidification to prevent window condensation in the winter. To address window condensation, use ventilation to lower indoor humidity in the winter. WHOLE HOME DEHUMIDIFICATION The AprilAire® Dehumidifier controls the humidity level in your entire home . A powerful blower inside the dehumidifier draws air into the cabinet where it is filtered before having moisture removed . A sealed refrigeration system removes moisture by moving the air through a series of tubes and fins that are kept colder than the dew point of the incoming air . The dew point is the temperature at which moisture in the air will condense, much like what occurs on the outside of a cold glass on a hot summer day . The condensed moisture drips into the dehumidifier drain pan to a drain tube routed to the nearest floor drain or condensate pump . After the moisture is removed, the air moves through a second coil where it is reheated before being sent back into the home . The air leaving the dehumidifier will be warmer and drier than the air entering the dehumidifier . You can reduce the amount of humidity that enters the home by closing windows, doors and fireplace flues when outdoor humidity is high, and by drying clothes outside . Direct exhaust from kitchen vents and bath fans is the best means of controlling humidity due to cooking and showers/baths . The dehumidifier is not designed to prevent window condensation in winter . Use ventilation to lower indoor humidity levels in the winter . OPERATING THE DEHUMIDIFIER 1 . Use the ON/OFF Power Switch, located by the power cord, to apply power to the dehumidifier . NOTE: The ON/OFF Power Switch should stay ON unless the unit will not be used for an extended period. Use the ON/ OFF Button on the control panel to turn the unit off for short durations. With the ON/OFF Button in the ON position and the dehumidifier idle (neither the fan nor the compressor running) the unit will use less than 3W of power. 1 2 3 4 Figure 1: Exterior Components of the Dehumidifier 1 - Control Panel 2 - ON/OFF Power Switch 3 - Filter Access Door Retaining Screw 4 - Filter Access Door 3 English 2 . Use the ON/OFF Button (see Figure 2) on the control panel to turn the dehumidifier ON . The first press of a button will turn on the display light, so if the display was dark, you might need to press it again . Once ON, the display will show the current dehumidifier setting . Figure 2: Turning Dehumidifier On 3 . The dehumidifier blower will turn on, the word SETTING disappears from the display, and the words AIR SAMPLING appear (see Figure 3) . This wording indicates that the dehumidifier is sampling the air to determine if dehumidification is needed and shows the measured humidity level . If the control is already ON, lowering the setting will initiate air sampling . AIR SAMPLING Figure 3: Air Sampling 4 . If the Relative Humidity (RH) is above the setting, the compressor turns on to dehumidify the space . The word DEHUMIDIFYING appears when the compressor is turned on (see Figure 4) . ENERGY SAVINGS TIPS ENERGY SAVINGS TIP #1: Adjust the humidity setting to be as high as is comfortable to reduce dehumidifier run time . If it feels clammy or "smells musty," lower the humidity setting . To save energy, turn the dehumidifier to OFF when you open your windows, just as you would with air conditioning . ENERGY SAVINGS TIP #2: If vacating your home for an extended period in the summer, set the RH at 55% and set your thermostat as high as you are comfortable setting it to in the cooling mode . This will keep the humidity at a controlled level while minimizing the amount of cooling energy used . MAINTENANCE CLEANING THE FILTER After initial installation the air filter and drain should be checked and cleaned every 6 months . 1 . Press the ON/OFF Button on the control panel to turn the unit OFF . 2 . Loosen the retaining screw on the filter access door (see Figure 1) from the drain side of the dehumidifier until it releases and then remove the filter door . 3 . Slide the filter out of the dehumidifier . 4 . Rinse the filter with water to remove dust and collected particles from the filter . 5 . Shake off excess water from the filter . 6 . Clean the drain as described in Cleaning the Drain on page 5 . 7 . Reinstall the filter . An arrow on the filter frame shows the direction of airflow and it should point into the dehumidifier . 8 . If the filter does not slide back in, make sure the drain insert has been properly installed . See Installing the Drain on page 9. 9 . Replace the filter access door and tighten the retaining screw . 10 . Press the ON/OFF Button to turn the dehumidifier back ON . The CLEAN FILTER service reminder (see Figure 5) will display on the control every 6 months . To clear the service message, press the p and q buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds . Figure 4: Dehumidifying 4 English Figure 5: Clean Filter Service Reminder CLEANING THE DRAIN 1 . With the filter door on the drain side of the dehumidifier removed, reach in and pull out the drain insert using the finger loop (see Figure 6) . 1 Figure 6: Drain Cleaning 1 - Drain Insert 2 . Clean the drain pan and drain insert using a mild detergent . 3 . If the drain has a capped tee or elbow to allow cleaner to be poured directly in the drain, remove the cap and pour approximately one cup of vinegar into the tube (see Figure 7) . If there is no visible access to the drain line from outside of the dehumidifier, pour approximately one cup of vinegar into the drain pan of the dehumidifier where the drain insert was located . 4 . Reinstall the drain insert by gently placing the tip into the drain opening and rocking the insert downwards into place . When inserted properly, the top of the drain insert will be at the same height as the filter guide channel . 5 . If the dehumidifier has clear flexible drain tubing, look for excess buildup in the drain line that might prevent water flow, and replace as needed . Clear, smooth, flexible 3/4" inner diameter (ID) drain tubing is available in most hardware stores or Do-ItYourself (DIY) retail stores . NOTICE Running the dehumidifier without the drain insert can lead to condensate leaks. 90-2607 NOTE: Drain insert must be installed before operationg. 1 2 90-2693 Figure 7: Capped Drain Access for Cleaning Process 1 - Cap 2 - Condensate Drain Line 5 English SPECIFICATIONS Unit Weight Capacity 80°F, 60% RH Conditions Power 115 VAC, Single Phase, 60 Hz Dehumidifier Inlet Air Conditions Filter Airflow Model E080 63 lbs . 80 pints per day @ 185 CFM Model E100 64 lbs . 100 pints per day @ 280 CFM 5 .1A operating current 6 .9A operating current Dehumidification: 50°F104°F, 40°F dew point minimum Ventilation: 40°F140°F, 0% RH99% RH (non-condensing) MERV 8, washable External Static Pressure ("WC) Airflow (CFM) External Static Pressure ("WC) Airflow (CFM) 0 .0 185 0 .0 280 0 .2 135 0 .2 245 0 .4 85 0 .4 210 0 .6 175 NOTE: Rated capacity and current draw measured at 80°F/60% RH inlet conditions at 0.0 external static pressure.

Allow sufficient space for service on this side of the unit . · The filter can be removed from either side of the dehumidifier . Allow sufficient space for the filter to be removed and reinstalled . · If locating the unit where it is not readily accessible (such as a crawl space, an attic or even a basement for some individuals), consider controls such as the Model 76 Dehumidifier Control, which can be mounted in the living space and wired to the dehumidifier . · For attic installations, suspending the dehumidifier is recommended . · Always install the dehumidifier in or above a condensate pan when locating in or above a finished space . 2 1 6" LEVELING AND RAISING THE DEHUMIDIFIER The feet can be adjusted to level the unit and accommodate drain fittings and condensate pans as required . Use the top-mounted bubble level to adjust the feet until the bubble is within the outer circle (see Figure 13) . Leveling is required to ensure proper drainage from the dehumidifier . If installing a condensate pump to the side of the unit more elevation than can be provided by the adjustable feet may be needed . Risers or hanging kits are available to lift the dehumidifier higher off the floor . 2 1 OK OK NO 4 6 5 4 15" 3 Figure 12: Filter Access Clearance 90-1840 1 - Electrical Service and Drain Access this Side 2 - 6" Minimum Clearance for Proper Airflow 3 - 15" Minimum Clearance for Filter (Either Side) 4 - Filter 5 - Top View 6 - 6' Power Cord 3 Figure 13: Leveling the Unit 90-2692 1 - Bubble Level 2 - Bubble Level Detail 3 - 3/4" Drain 4 - 0 .38" Minimum 2 .00" Maximum INSTALLING A CONDENSATE PAN UNDER THE DEHUMIDIFIER Always install the dehumidifier in or above a condensate pan when locating it above a finished space . Adhere to local codes regarding draining of the condensate pan . If a condensate pump is needed, make sure it is in the condensate pan as well . Install a float switch in the condensate pan and/or use the overflow wires/terminals on the condensate pump to stop the dehumidifier should overflow occur . See Wiring to a Float Switch on page 12. 8 English INSTALLING THE DRAIN Using Hard Pipe: · Install a 3/4" PVC slip x 3/4" MNPT PVC fitting to the dehumidifier and use 3/4" nominal PVC Schedule 40 pipe to run the condensate line to the nearest floor drain or to an outside location that slopes away from the building . · Always maintain a constant downward slope in drain piping . Ensure that drain tubing does not interfere with removal of the side panel or filter door . · Do not use metal fittings and only hand-tighten threaded fittings . PTFE thread seal tape is recommended for threaded connections . · Install a tee or three-way elbow at the dehumidifier outlet with a small, capped vertical tube (do not cement cap in place) to allow for cleaner to be poured into the drain line (see Figure 14) . · PVC primer and cement is recommended for slip-fit connections (do not cement threaded connections) . 1 INSTALLING DUCTWORK · Use insulated duct when the dehumidifier is located in an unconditioned space, such as an attic, garage or crawl space, or if connecting a fresh air duct to the dehumidifier ductwork . · Use zip ties, mastic, and tape as needed to seal the duct connections to the dehumidifier and to seal the insulation sleeves to prevent condensation inside the ductwork . Connecting the dehumidifier to your HVAC system will pull air to be dehumidified from the whole home and similarly will discharge air to the whole home . Make sure the duct system pressure the dehumidifier will have to operate against does not exceed 0 .4" Water Column (WC) for Model E080 and 0 .6" WC for Models E100/E100H . Measure the system pressure when the HVAC fan is operating at the highest airflow (speed) setting . There are not always readily available locations on the HVAC duct system for connecting 10" ducts, and some local codes do not allow ducting to the return side of the HVAC system . If so, another option is to install just the discharge of the dehumidifier to the HVAC system or to use dedicated registers for both the inlet and discharge of the dehumidifier . 2 3 4 Figure 14: Capped Drain Access for Cleaning 90-2693 1 - Cap 2 - Small Section of Drain Tube 3 - 3/4" 3-Way elbow or Tee and Below 4 - Condensate Drain Line Using Flexible Tubing: · Install the provided 3/4" NPT x 3/4" hose barb fitting and use 3/4" flexible drain tubing . Hand-tighten the fitting to the dehumidifier . PTFE thread seal tape is recommended for threaded connections . · Always maintain a constant downward slope from the dehumidifier to the nearest floor drain or condensate pump, and do not allow soft tubing to curl up, which may result in air lock . 9 English DUCTING THE DEHUMIDIFIER INLET AND OUTLET TO THE HVAC SYSTEM Return-to-Return Basement Installation Return-to-Supply Basement Installation 2 1 4 6' Min 3 7 6 5 8 4 19 Return-to-Return Attic Installation 17 11 6' Min 90-1886 18 9 Return-to-Supply Attic Installation 7 10 6 11 90-1887 12 13 15 14 90-1888 Figure 15: Four Installation Configurations 24" Min 16 15 13 14 90-1889 1 - Air is Pulled from the Main Return Duct and Discharged to the Main Return Duct 2 - 10" Duct 3 - 6' Minimum 4 - HVAC/Furnace 5 - Air is Pulled from the Main Return Duct 6 - Model E080 0 .4" WC Maximum 7 - Model E100H 0 .6" WC Maximum 8 - Air is Discharged to the Supply Duct 9 - 10" Duct · Use when both sides of the duct system are accessible (see Figure 16) . · When ducting from return to supply, the HVAC blower does not need to be running when the dehumidifier is running . · When ducting return to supply, allow adequate space before the first branch duct to ensure the warm dehumidified air is thoroughly mixed with the HVAC system air . 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 - Plenum Box Air Handler Plenum Filter Condensate Pan 10" Diameter Insulated Duct Both Sides 24" Minimum 6' Minimum Plenum Box or Y-Fitting Dehumidifier · When ducting from return to return, wire the dehumidifier to the HVAC system as shown in Figure 20 to ensure the HVAC blower runs when the dehumidifier is operating . · Wire the dehumidifier to the HVAC system (see Figure 20 for exact wiring) and set up the dehumidifier to be disabled when the AC is running . 10 English DUCTING THE DEHUMIDIFIER OUTLET TO THE HVAC SYSTEM WITH DEDICATED DEHUMIDIFIER INLET REGISTER · To direct dehumidified air away from a potentially 4 wet AC coil: - Duct to the supply side of the HVAC system 2 3 for air handler applications where air is pulled through the AC coil (see Figure 16) . 1 Dedicated Return to Main Supply 1 2 3 Figure 16: Discharge to Supply Side 90-2691 1 - Supply 2 - Return 3 - HVAC Equipment - Duct to the return side of the HVAC system for furnace applications where air is pushed through the AC coil .

Dedicated Return to Main Return 2 1 3 Figure 17: Discharge to Return Side 90-2691 1 - Supply 2 - Return 3 - HVAC Equipment · Wire the dehumidifier to the HVAC system as shown in Figure 20 and set up the dehumidifier to be disabled when the AC is running . Use dedicated registers to duct the dehumidifier to the whole home when HVAC system ductwork is unavailable or impractical (see Figure 18) . 6 Figure 18: Stand-Alone Duct 5 90-1893 1 - Air is Pulled from Ducted Space 2 - Dehumidified Space 3 - 10' Minimum 4 - Dehumidified Air is Supplied to Ducted Space 5 - Dehumidifier 6 - Grill with 10" Duct Collar (2 Places) WIRING No additional wiring is needed unless: · the dehumidifier is ducted to the HVAC system · a separate, external control such as a thermostat or dehumidistat is to be used · a float switch, either integral to a condensate pump or mounted to the condensate pan, is used Use 18-22 AWG wire for any needed wiring . Access the dehumidifier wiring terminals by pulling off the wiring access cover near the dehumidifier control display (see Figure 19). Snap the wiring access cover back into place after completing all wiring . 1 Figure 19: Wiring Access Cover Location 1 - Wiring Access Cover 90-1884 11 English WIRING TO THE HVAC SYSTEM When the dehumidifier is ducted to the HVAC system, it is recommended that it also be wired to the HVAC system as shown in Figure 20 . If ducted to the HVAC system in a return-to-return configuration, the dehumidifier must be wired to the HVAC system to prevent short-circuiting dehumidified air directly back to the dehumidifier inlet . In a return-to-supply ducting configuration, running the HVAC fan with the dehumidifier ensures the warm dry air is mixed with room air before being discharged to the home . OPTIONAL W & Y WIRING Wire the W and/or Y terminal to the HVAC system when using the ventilation feature of the dehumidifier . See Ventilation on page 13. Wire the dehumidifier Y terminal to the HVAC system to disable the dehumidifier compressor from operating when the air conditioning is running . See Allowing DEH W/AC on page 16 for additional setup steps required to access this feature . WIRING TO EXTERNAL OR REMOTE CONTROLS The dehumidifier can be wired to an external control that senses the humidity in the living space, such as an AprilAire Thermostat or the Model 76 Dehumidifier Control . This is most often done when the dehumidifier is ducted to the HVAC system and is located in a hard-to-reach location such as an attic or basement . The Model 76, when used as a remote control, allows the user to see the humidity sensed by the dehumidifier and adjust the dehumidifier setting from a remote location . This is most often used when the dehumidifier is not ducted to the HVAC system and serves a hard-to-reach location such as a crawl space or basement . If using an external control, wire to the DH terminals of the dehumidifier (see Figure 21) . Most external controls use a normally open switch that closes with a dehumidification demand, in which case leave the NC/NO switch in the NO position . For controls that use a normally closed switch, put the NC/NO switch in the NC position . If using the AprilAire Model 76 as a remote control, wire to the {+ - A B} terminals .
