The Phoenix R75 plugs into a common grounded outlet 
on a 5 amp circuit. It draws 6. amps at 80°F, 60% RH. 
If used in a wet area, a ground fault interrupter (GFI) is 
required. If an extension cord is required, it must have a 
minimum of 4 gauge conductors if 25 feet long or less 
and 2 gauge conductors if greater than 25 feet long. 

The Phoenix R75 is equipped with an internal condensate 
pump to remove the water that is condensed during 
dehumidification. This allows the condensate to be 
pumped 20 feet with the attached hose. If the condensate 
must be pumped more than 20 feet above the unit, a 
second pump must be added to relay the condensate. The 
condensate pump automatically purges for 20 seconds 
every four minutes. Use the PURGE button to manually 
remove condensation.

A wire duct collar is supplied to allow 0” lay-flat duct to 
be attached to the Phoenix R75 outlet. Lay-flat plastic 
ducting is available; see accessories table page 6. To 
attach ducting to the wire duct collar, put the plastic duct 
end through the collar center and roll the duct end outward 
so that it overlaps the outside of the collar. The duct and 
collar may then be quickly attached to the Phoenix R75 
by snapping the collar over the four exhaust tabs.

If the low side refrigerant temperature drops due to exces-

sive frost formation on the evaporator coil and below the 

temperature set point, the thermistor activates the solid-

state control and defrost light. The compressor is cycled 

off and on by the thermistor temperature measurement. 

The air mover will continue to run, causing air to flow 

through the evaporator coil and melt the ice when the com-

pressor is off. When the air temperature and/or humidity 

increases, the evaporator temperature will rise and the 

thermistor will end the defrost cycle at the temperature set 

point.

Press the POWER button to turn the dehumidifier on or off. 
When starting the dehumidifier the display will show the 
accumulated hours. Press the POWER button again to turn 
the dehumidifier off. The display will also power off.

During normal operation the pump automatically cycles 
every four minutes. Press the PURGE button to remove 
condensate manually from the reservoir. There are several 

ways to manually remove water from the reservoir:
.   Press the PURGE button once and the pump will run 

for 20 seconds

2.   Press and hold the PURGE button and the pump will 

run for up to 30 seconds

3.   Press the PURGE button while the dehumidifier is 

powered off and the pump will run for 30 seconds.

Always manually purge the water reservoir before transport 
or storage. Turn off the power and allow the plugged in 
dehumidifier to rest 5 minutes before the final purge.

The digital hour meter displays the cumulative time the 
dehumidifier has been turned on to the tenth of an hour. 
The total hours measured is stored when the unit is 
unplugged. The previous total will be displayed the next 
time the unit is turned on.

Press the HOURS button when the dehumidifier cannot 
be plugged in and the hour meter needs to be read. The 
digital hour meter will display the last saved cumulative 
time for ten seconds.

The DEFROST light turns on when the unit is in defrost 
cycle and indicates when the compressor is off.

The Phoenix R75 is equipped with a pleated media air 
filter that must be checked regularly. The standard filter 
is a MERV-7 high efficiency filter. Operating the unit with 
a dirty filter will reduce the dehumidifier’s capacity and 
efficiency and may cause the compressor to cycle off and 
on unnecessarily. The filter can generally be vacuumed 
clean several times before needing replacement. 
Replacement filters can be ordered from the manufacturer 
or purchased locally if available.
