Sure! Here are the step-by-step instructions for installing the BROAN B33DHW Dehumidifier:

1. Safety Precautions: Before starting the installation, make sure to turn off the circuit breaker and leave it off until the installation is completed. Also, read all the safety instructions in the manual before beginning the installation.

2. Location Considerations: Choose an interior wall for installation that is protected from rain and flooding. Install the unit in a central location to maximize air circulation and efficiency. Make sure there is nearby access to a drain or consider using a condensate pump if needed.

3. Drain Installation: Consult local building codes for condensate drain restrictions and requirements. The B33DHW comes with a 10' drain hose. Route the drain hose with a downward slope from the unit drain connection to an appropriate location. Consider a 1/4" drop for every foot of drain hose. Codes may require a drain trap before or near the main building drain. Install the metal cover over the top of the hose to prevent air from entering the unit through the wall cavity.

4. Electrical Requirements: The B33DHW requires a 120-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, 15 amp, fused and grounded electrical supply. A dedicated circuit with a visible circuit breaker or disconnect switch near the unit is recommended. Use the included non-metallic cable clamp for electrical connections.

5. Dehumidifier Installation: The B33DHW can be installed in a 2x6 or 2x4 stud wall or as a surface mount. Follow the specific instructions in the manual for your chosen installation method. Make sure to secure the unit to the framing using the provided screws. Check for proper clearance and spacing according to the manual.

6. Maintenance: The B33DHW requires regular maintenance. Clean or replace the washable filter every two months. Use a mild detergent to clean the surface of the diffuser. Avoid blocking the return and supply air flow to maximize unit performance.

Please note that these are general instructions, and it is important to refer to the BROAN B33DHW Dehumidifier Instruction Manual for detailed and specific instructions for your installation.
