GE ADER50LN 50-Pint Dehumidifier

If homeowners are looking to remove moisture from a cool damp space they need to review all the features of the dehumidifier before they make their purchase. Selecting the right dehumidifier can mean the difference between having a somewhat serviceable space and regaining a livable area.

Ideal Settings for a GE ADER50LN

If consumers are concerned about a cooler space such as a basement or garage, then they will need to look for a low temperature dehumidifier and preferably one with automatic defrost control such as the GE ADER50LN. This unit can remove up to 50 pints of moisture per day. The unit monitors the water level and will automatically shut off when the water tank is full. In addition, owners can set the unit to their humidity preferences and set up an automatic shutoff timer.

Moisture Capacity of the GE ADER50LN

The bucket on the GE ADER50LN will hold 17.5 pints of water which enables easy lifting and emptying of the unit. Since the unit can remove up to 50 pints of moisture per day, homeowners may have to empty the water bucket several times when first using the unit. The bucket is on the front of the unit so that owners can easily see the water level. The unit also has an external drain connector if the owner would like to dispose of the water that way. If there is a power failure while the unit is running, the unit will shut off automatically and will not turn back on when the power is restored.

Proper Usage the GE ADER50LN

Homeowners should make sure that the dehumidifier is not placed near standing water. Nor should a dehumidifier be used in a basement where gasoline, paint, and other flammable liquids are stored. The floor space where the dehumidifier is located should be able to support the unit with a full bucket of water. The GE ADER50LN unit should be placed 12 inches away from walls or other objects so that it has air circulating freely around it. This unit is made to be used indoors and should not be used anywhere cooler than 5°C (41°F).

Appliance Donation Centers

Dehumidifiers usually contain some sort of refrigerant - for example the GE ADER50LN uses R-410A refrigerant – therefore homeowners need to beware when they dispose of their old dehumidifiers that they are following all local environmental codes. There are several organizations where homeowners can donate their old appliances; such as Habitat for Humanity, The Salvation Army, St. Vincent de Paul, and the American Council of the Blind. These organizations will either use them in their programs or sell the units in thrift stores to increase their available funds.
