How the Hurricane 160P Works

The dehumidifier uses its integral humidistat to monitor conditioned space. When conditions exceed the setpoint, the compressor activates. Air is drawn across an evaporator coil, where moisture condenses. The air is then reheated by the condenser coil and returned to the room.

Guidelines

Operation Notes

• Operate, transport, and store the unit on a stable surface.
• For maximum efficiency, keep windows and doors closed.
• Do not block the unit's inlet or outlet airflow.

Drain Hose Notes

• The unit has an external drain line connection.
• The drain line can be directed outside or into a sink/drain.
• Uncoil the entire hose for effective draining.
• Ensure the drain hose end is not higher than 15 feet.
• Always ensure the drain hose is not blocked.

Transportation Notes

• Secure the dehumidifier during transportation.
• If transported vertically, return to horizontal position and let it sit for 30 minutes before use.
