DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
The EVAP dehumidier utilizes its integral humidistat to monitor the conditioned space. Once conditions
are outside the desired setpoint, the compressor energizes and air is drawn across the evaporator
coil. The evaporator coil is cooler than the dew point of the air so the water vapor will turn into liquid
condensation. The air is then reheated through the condenser coil and distributed back into the room.
AFX Power LGR (Low Grain Refrigerant) Commercial Dehumidiers are designed to maximize water
extraction while combining the highest eciency in performance and portability. Latest technology and a
high eciency extraction process ensures peak performance in even the most challenging environments,
such as extreme temperature and low environmental humidity. With high ecient water removal
capacity, the LGR (Low Grain Refrigerant) Dehumidier allows an extreme dry zone in the working
area and water migration to the air from all the surfaces. It is ideal for water damage restoration and
industrial applications where maximum air drying performance is needed.

OPERATION
OPERATION
SETUP
! IMPORTANT
Before using the dehumidier, place the unit UPRIGHT for at least 30 minutes before use to allow the
refrigerant to stabilize. If the unit was tilted on its side or upside-down during transportation, set the
unit UPRIGHT for at least 4 hours before use. The dehumidier must be positioned UPRIGHT on a level
surface during use.
Place the dehumidier in the center of the room away from walls and furnishings. DO NOT allow the
airow to be obstructed.
• Enclosed Area: For optimal eciency, the dehumidier must be operated in an enclosed area. Keep
all doors, windows and other outside entrances to the room closed. Turn off the air conditioning.
You may also nd that installing multiple dehumidiers may be required for larger enclosed areas.
For extremely high humidity, use a plastic pipe with diameter larger than 6. in, and tie the pipe to the
Exhaust for faster drying.
• Air Circulation: It’s suggested to have a constant ecient air circulation inside the area that you are
going to work in, for example, setting up a circulation with AFX Power Air Mover combinations.
• Environment Temperature/Humidity: The dehumidier is designed to work in an environment with
a temperature of 33°F to 100°F (1°C to 37°C) and relative humidity level of 20% and higher. The
dehumidier may not function normally or eciently if the room temperature and humidity level
exceed this temperature and humidity level range.
DRAIN HOSE
The dehumidier pump connects to a plastic drainage hose. The hose is stored on the side of the
appliance.
Uncoil the entire hose, ensuring there are no kinks or blockages prior to use.
Attach the drain hose inlet to the drain outlet of the machine.
Place the other end of the hose outside or into any sink, drain, or separate container to collect the
outgoing water. Water vessels must be checked regularly. The position of the drainage hose should not
be placed over 15 feet high to prevent water backup.

POWER
If the unit is plugged in but not in operation, the LED Display will display nothing. Press the POWER key
to turn the unit on. It will begin working automatically. The display will show the desired humidity on the
left and relative humidity on the right.
To turn the unit off, press POWER. The water pump will turn on automatically for 40 seconds to drain in
the remaining water and turn off automatically. Do not switch the power off by disconnecting the Power
Cord from the outlet. To avoid water spillage, do not move the dehumidier for at least three minutes
after turning the power off.
TIME
Press TIME to display current working time in hours and minutes. For example, if it displays “0000:50”,
it means that it has been in operation for 50 minutes. To view the total working time, press “T” once
more within 10s. If “T” is not touched for 10s, the display returns automatically returns to displaying
the humidity. The current working time can be reset by pressing “T” for 5s continuously. Resetting the
current working time will not affect the total working time.
Note: The total working time can not be deleted. If the time is beyond the range of LED showing time, it
will be deleted and recount from the start.

CONTROL PANEL + MAINTENANCE
HUMIDITY CONTROL
The desired humidity could be changed by pressing UP or DOWN keys to set or adjust humidity by 1%
increments in the range between 26% and 90%. When the environmental humidity is below 26% “CO” will
be displayed. Press and hold the UP or DOWN key to increase/decrease the desired humidity level by 5%
per second.
KEY LOCK
If “T” and “P” are pressed simultaneously for 2s, the defrost light will blink and all the keys on the control
panel will lock. Unlock the Control Panel by repeating the same action a second time.
MANUAL DRAINAGE
Press “P” to manually empty water from the pump reservoir before moving the machine to avoid water
spillage. During normal operation the pump purges automatically when the reservoir is full. Manual drain
will last for 3 minutes (180 seconds).
DEFROST INDICATOR
The unit begins to defrost automatically as needed when the defrost indicator lights up; the unit stops
defrosting when the defrost indicator is off. When defrosting nishes, the unit continues to dehumidify
automatically.
MAINTENANCE
Frequent maintenance is recommended on this appliance. Failure to follow the maintenance instructions
may cause failure of the appliance and void the warranty.
Before maintenance or storage, you should always:
10. Process a drainage manually.
11. Disconnect the machine from the power source.
12. Remove the drain hose.
BEFORE USE
1. Check the power cord for signs of damage such as fraying. Repair the cord before use if there is any
damage.
2. Check the lter for signs of dirt or obstructions. Clean or replace the lter as necessary.
