Envirowise 70V Installation Instructions
Important Precautions
• The device is designed to be installed indoors in a space that is protected from rain and flooding.
• Install the unit with enough space to access all sides for maintenance and service. The entire shell needs to be
removed in order to do repairs.
• Avoid directing the discharge air at people.
• The dehumidifier MUST be used in the upright position.
• If used near a water source; be certain there is no chance the unit could fall into the water or get splashed and
that it is plugged into a dedicated circuit and Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected outlet.
• DO NOT use the dehumidifier as a bench or table.
• DO NOT place the dehumidifier directly on structural building members without vibration absorbers or unwanted
noise may result. Place the 70V on supports to raise the base of the unit.
• A drain pan MUST be placed under the dehumidifier if installed above a living area or above an area where
water leakage could cause damage.
Location Considerations
• Allow sufficient clearance to handle the unit’s overall dimensions as well as the necessary return and supply duct-
work to the unit.
• Allow sufficient clearance for filter removal and to prevent airflow obstruction.
• Electrical service access will require the removal of the outside shell. Allow sufficient clearance around the unit.
• Locate the dehumidifier in an area where the cord’s length (9') easily reaches a 115 VAC electrical outlet with a
minimum of a 15 Amp circuit capacity. A dedicated 20A circuit is recommended, but not required unless local code
specifies.
• Locate the dehumidifier in an
area where field wiring the control
(low voltage) to the unit will be
possible.
• A back draft damper MUST be
used in the discharge duct of
the 70V. The back draft damper
prevents supply air from counter
flowing through the 70V when it
is not operating. The dehumidi-
fier’s location should be chosen
to allow installation of this acces-
sory.
• The 70V may be suspended with
the hang kit or a suitable alterna-
tive from structural members,
ensuring the assembly supports
the dehumidifier’s base in its
entirety. DO NOT hang the 70V
from its’ cabinet.
• Allow for proper drainage and
routing of needed drain pipes.
