SHIPPING DAMAGE
If a shipment is damaged or the piece count does not
agree with the quantity shown on the freight bill, the
buyer/receiver should make note on all copies of the
freight company’s delivery receipt of any damages and/
or shortages at the time of delivery. The receiving agent
and the freight company’s agent should both sign the
delivery receipt and the bill of lading. It is preferred,
that both signatures are obtained at the time of delivery.
If at all possible at the time of delivery, photograph the
noted damages as evidence to support a freight claim.
The damage and/or shortage notation on the delivery
receipt does not constitute a claim. It is the recipient’s
responsibility to initiate the claim process by requesting
an inspection and requesting a claim number from the
freight carrier. Save all noted freight bills, bills of
lading, delivery receipts, packing sheets and invoices for
documentation that will be required to support an
itemized claim.
For concealed damage you must immediately notify the
delivering freight carrier by phone and request an
inspection. Many freight carriers will not honor concealed
damage claim beyond 48 hours from the time of delivery
or if the product has been moved to another location other
than the ship to address. Most freight carriers will
challenge claims written after a two-week period.

INSTALLATION
DEHUMIDIFIER: Unpack the dehumidifier. Set
aside the sheet metal duct for now. Facing the outdoor
section of the CH model, on the right-hand side, there is
a long, narrow access panel. Remove this panel and set
aside. (See Page 11, Figure 4.)
Remove the fill plate located in the bottom of this
compartment by unscrewing the four screws. Remove
the 1½" knockout and clear the insulation hole. Place
fill plate back in the unit. With a marker, trace the 1½"
hole onto the screen below. Remove the fill plate again
and cut out marked hole. Place fill plate back into unit
and reattach with four screws.
Place the dehumidifier in this opening by placing the
wedge end of the cabinet in first and slide all the way
back (see Figure 4).
WIRING: Remove the knockout in the back of the CH
control panel and insert bushing (see Figure 2). Route
high and low voltage wires into the CH control panel
through the bushing. Connect per Figures 1 & 2.
Connect a humidistat (field-supplied) per the low
voltage connection diagram in the CH Literature.
WARNING
Open and lock unit disconnect switch before
installing this accessory to prevent injury or
death due to electrical shock or contact with
