Danby DDR60A3GP Owner's Use And Care Guide

To set up your Danby DDR60A3GP dehumidifier, place the unit in an upright position on a level surface, at least 8 inches away from walls and furniture. Plug it into a grounded electrical outlet, set your desired humidity level, and press the power button to start operation.
For optimal performance, set the humidity level between 30% to 50% relative humidity. This range helps prevent mold growth and maintains a comfortable environment.
To clean the air filter, turn off and unplug the unit. Remove the filter from the back of the dehumidifier, rinse it under warm water, and let it dry completely before reinstalling it. Clean the filter every two weeks for optimal performance.
If your dehumidifier is not collecting water, ensure that the humidity setting is lower than the room's current humidity. Check if the air filter is clean and the room temperature is above 41°F (5°C). Also, verify that the water tank is properly positioned.
If the dehumidifier freezes up, turn off the unit and unplug it. Allow the ice to melt naturally. Ensure the room temperature is above 41°F (5°C) to prevent future freezing. Restart the unit once the ice is completely melted.
To enable continuous drainage, connect a standard garden hose to the drain outlet on the back of the dehumidifier. Ensure the hose leads to a suitable drainage location. The dehumidifier will automatically drain through the hose instead of the water bucket.
E1 indicates a problem with the humidity sensor, while E2 signifies an issue with the temperature sensor. In both cases, it's advised to contact Danby customer support for assistance.
The frequency of emptying the water tank depends on humidity levels and usage. Under high humidity, the tank may need to be emptied every few hours. For less humid environments, daily emptying might suffice.
It's not recommended to use an extension cord with your dehumidifier. Plug the unit directly into a grounded electrical outlet to avoid overheating and ensure safe operation.
To store the dehumidifier, turn it off, unplug it, and empty the water tank. Clean the air filter and dry all components thoroughly. Store the unit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
