SAFETY INFORMATION
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This dehumidifier must not be used in rooms under the following conditions:
- Potentially explosive atmosphere
- Aggressive atmospheres
- Featuring a high concentration of solvents
- An extremely high ratio of dust
Keep Children Away: Do not allow children to play with or around this unit, which could result in injury.
Be sure the unit is inaccessible to children when not attended. This appliance is not intended for use by
person (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliances by a person responsible for their safety.
Keep Unit Grounded: Always operate the unit with a grounding plug and a grounded electrical outlet.
A grounding plug is an essential safety feature that helps reduce the risk of shock or fire.
Protect Power Cord from Damage: Never operate a unit with a damaged power cord, as this may
lead to electrical or fire hazards. If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a cord of
the same type and amperage rating.
Extension Cords: Extension cords must be grounded and able to deliver the appropriate voltages to
the unit.
Handle with Care: Do not drop, throw or crash the dehumidifier. Rough treatment can damage the
components or wiring and create a hazardous condition.
Run on Stable Surface: Always operate the unit on a stable, level surface, for example the floor or a
strong counter, so that the dehumidifier cannot fall and cause injury.
Keep Out of Water: Never operate the unit in pooled or standing water, as this may create a risk of
injury from electrical shock. Do not store or operate outdoors. If electrical wiring or components become
wet, thoroughly dry them before using the unit. If in doubt do not use the dehumidifier and consult a
qualified electrician or a Meaco approved engineer.
Do Not Let Water Drip onto the Dehumidifier: Dry your bathroom by placing the dehumidifier outside
of the room with the bathroom door open. Do not use your dehumidifier inside the bathroom.
Keep Air Intakes Clear: Do not clog or block the air intakes by placing the dehumidifier too close to
curtains, walls or anything that will restrict the air inlet. This may cause the unit to overheat and result
in a fire or electrical hazard.
Keep the Filter Clean: There is a filter on the air inlet to stop dust from getting inside the dehumidifier.
If you allow the dust and dirt to build up on the filter, pressure on the fan motor will be increased and
you will reduce the amount of water extracted from the air. Not cleaning the filter reduces the lifespan
of the dehumidifier, increases energy consumption and decreases water extraction. Please examine
and clean the filter every two weeks minimum.
Keep Electrical Components Dry: Never allow water inside the dehumidifier’s electrical components.
If these areas become wet for any reason, thoroughly dry them before using the dehumidifier. If in
doubt, do not use the dehumidifier and consult a qualified electrician or a Meaco approved engineer.
The operator must make the operating instruction available for the user and make sure that the user
does understand the manual.
