conditions, the machine operates in defrost mode,
warming any frost that has accumulated on the
evaporator coil back into water. The water collects in a
tray and is pumped out through a hose. Onboard
sensors continually monitor environmental conditions
and system operations of the dehumidifier, including
temperature and relative humidity, which can be viewed
on the display panel.
LGR (Low Grain Refrigerant) dehumidifiers have better
heat exchange and defrost abilities than regular
refrigerant dehumidifiers, and are able to continue
removing moisture in drier environments.

POSITIONING A DEHUMIDIFIER

For best results, operate your dehumidifiers in an
enclosed area, as this creates a drying chamber. Close
all doors and windows that open to the outside to
maximize the unit's water removal efficiency. Also, keep
traffic though the drying chamber to a minimum. Place
your dehumidifier against a wall, away from obstructions,
and keep it away from anything that could block airflow
into and out of the unit. For more information about
creating an optimum drying environment, contact Dri-
Eaz at 800-932-3030.

OPERATING YOUR DEHUMIDIFIER

Set unit upright
NOTICE: If you transport an i-Series dehumidifier in a
horizontal position, set it upright and let it stand for at
least 30 minutes before you turn it on. When the
machine is horizontal, the oil from the compressor flows
into the refrigerant coils reducing the ability of the
dehumidifier to function. Letting the unit stand upright for
30 minutes allows the oil to flow back into the
compressor.
Set up drain hose
The i-Series condensate pump connects to a plastic
drainage hose that is located in the pocket on the back
of the unit. This hose is equipped with a quick-connect
fitting for quick attachment to the provided 40-ft. drain
hose. Unwrap the entire hose and place the unattached
end in a sink, drain, bucket or outside – anywhere that
water can drain out safely. If you use a bucket or other
receptacle for water collection, check it regularly to
prevent spills.
NOTE: Uncoil and straighten the entire drain hose.
Do not leave any of part of the hose coiled on the
unit and do not place the end of the hose higher
than 20 ft. (6 m) above the top of the unit. Also
check for kinks, or obstructions that would restrict
the flow of water. Failure to do so may cause a water
backup in the pump resulting in leakage.

Plug in electrical cord
The i-Series dehumidifier should be plugged into a
GFCI-protected 115 volt outlet rated for at least 15 amps.
Remove the cord from its storage pocket and uncoil it.
Always plug the cord firmly into the unit first, and then
plug the other end into a suitable outlet.
Turn the unit on
The control panel on the i-Series dehumidifier has a
display and a touchpad with four keys. Press the
ON/OFF to turn the unit on.
How to use the control panel
The control panel on the LGR 2800i has a display and a
touchpad with four keys.
ON/OFF. Press the ON/OFF key to turn the unit on or
off. When the machine turns on, the display normally
reads PLEASE WAIT COMP. DELAY and performs a
numeral count down from a maximum of 60 seconds
to 0. This delay allows time for refrigerant pressures to
equalize for easier starting. If you don't see a
compressor delay countdown, a delay is not necessary
and the machine will begin operation immediately. Once
the unit completes the compressor delay, the display
shows UNIT ON XX HRS and cycles between
INLET XX°F and INLET XX%.
DISPLAY MENU. Press the DISPLAY MENU key to
cycle through the display of additional dehumidifier
conditions and User Settings. To return to the main
menu, press the ON/OFF button once.
MENU SELECTION. Press the MENU SELECTION
key to change the values on the "User Defined" settings.
The MENU SELECTON key acts as the UP key for
adjusting the setpoint for Humidistat mode operation.
See User Settings Menu (below) for details.
PURGE. Press the PURGE key to manually empty
water from the condensate pump reservoir. NOTICE:
Always press the purge key prior to moving the unit.
During normal operation, the pump purges automatically
every six minutes, or whenever the reservoir is full. The
display will read PUMP PURGING with a numeral
countdown.
Main menu display
When unit is first plugged in to AC power, the control
panel display will briefly cycle through a series of
displays. This is part of the unit's self-diagnosis
procedure and no user intervention is required.
