READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS  
Diagram 1  
CAUTION  
Do not operate the Evolution LGR dehumidifier at temperatures above 90° F (32° C).  
This can cause damage to both the machine and the structure’s contents. Over-dried  
materials (especially wood products) may crack, shrivel, or discolor. Use of a dehu-  
midifier in high-heat conditions will reduce its effeciency and the life of the machine.  
Managing temperature rise  
Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers warm the air as they remove moisture. Optimal drying  
temperatures range from 68-85° F (20-29° C)  
The most accurate way to monitor temperature is with a thermo-hygrometer;  
however, you can use an indoor/outdoor thermometer to gauge temperature-  
-just make sure it’s located in the center of the room away from the airflow of  
the dehumidifier.  
Maintain temperatures between 70-90° F (21-32° C) to ensure best perform-  
ance and drying results. This may require the use of the building’s HVAC  
(Heating or Air Conditioning) system. If there’s no HVAC system, call a  
Dri-Eaz at 1-888-867-3235, and a Technical Specialist help you find an  
appropriate solution.

OPERATING YOUR EVOLUTION LGR DEHUMIDIFIER  
Setup  
Place dehumidifier upright. If you transport the Evolution LGR in a horizontal  
position, set it upright (vertical) for at least 30 minutes before you turn it on.  
This is necessary because when the machine is horizontal, the oil from the  
compressor flows into the refrigerant coils reducing the ability of the dehu-  
midifier to function.  
Picture handle release  
How to unlock the handle  
On the back of the Evolution LGR, just below the top you’ll find the handle  
folded down into the unit. Locate the red lever, and pull it to the right. That  
releases the handle. Flip it up, and fold the red lever back into place to lock  
the handle into position (see Diagram 2)  
Diagram 3  
Locate drainage system  
The Evolution LGR pump connects to a plastic drainage hose. You’ll find the  
hose on the hose wrap, located on the back of the unit (see Diagram 1). You  
can release the hose by flipping the top reel of the hose wrap down; simply  
pull exerting an outward force until you’re able to twist it to the right (see  
Diagram 3). Twist it down 180°. This feature makes it easy to take off the  
entire hose quickly. Place the unattached hose end in a sink, drain, bucket--  
even outside; anywhere that water can drain out safely. If you use a bucket  
or contained receptacle for water collection, check it regularly.

portion of the hose coiled on the unit. Also check for kinks, or  
obstruction that would restrict the flow of water. Failure to do so  
may cause a water backup in the pump resulting in leakage.  
Do not operate unit when dust or air-  
borne particles are present, such as dur-  
ing sanding or spray-painting.  
Plug in electrical cord  
Locate the electrical cord either on the top or back of the unit. The Evolution  
LGR dehumidifier runs on a 115-volt (15 amp) grounded outlet, which is stan-  
dard in most homes.  
Inspect and clean coils frequently  
Read and understand manual  
before use.  
If the unit experiences a loss of power, which can result from a power inter-  
ruption or overheating, we recommend you let the unit sit off for five minutes  
before restarting. Otherwise it might shut off again.

HOW TO USE THE TOUCHPAD CONTROL KEYS  
The Touchpad on the Evolution LGR has one display and four keys. The  
normal display messages are:  
DEHUMIDIFIER OFF  
DEHUMIDIFIER ON  
TOTAL HRS  
CMPRSR DELAY  
PUMP PURGING  
DEFROST ON  
JOB HRS  
GET SERVICE ERO1  
When you first plug in the unit, the touchpad display will cycle con-  
tinuously through three messages: DEHUMIDIFER OFF, TOTAL  
HOURS, and JOB HOURS.  
IIlustration of Touchpad  
ON-OFF. Press the ON-OFF key to turn the unit on or off. When  
turning the machine on, usually the display reads CMPRSR  
DELAY and performs a numeral count down from a maximum of  
60 seconds to 0. The compressor delay gives the machine time to  
warm up when needed. If you don’t see a compressor delay  
countdown, the machine is ready to go. Once the unit completes  
the CMPRSR DELAY, the display reads DEHUMIDIFIER ON, and  
continues to cycle between TOTAL HOURS, JOB HOURS and  
DEHUMIDIFIER ON.  
Press the ON-OFF key again to turn the unit off. The display will  
read DEHUMIDIFIER OFF.  
DISPLAY. Press the DISPLAY key to stop the display at DEHU-  
MIDIFER ON or OFF, TOTAL HOURS, or JOB HOURS as it cycles.  
Press DISPLAY again to re-start the display cycle.  
How to change the language display  
CAUTION  
While in the change-language mode, pressing other keys can  
change the programming of the machine. Do NOT press other
