What are the mode settings to use the unit as a dehumidifier without cooling?

I have never used this as a Dehumidifier... but found the manual online... http://cache.air-n-water.com/manuals/newair-ac-12000e-user's-guide.pdf

I wish I knew. I have this and the manual says absolutely nothing about how to set this in dehumidifier mode....nor do I see anything on the display about % of humidity. Sounds like BS to me. I'm probably going to get a separate dehumidifier instead...considering the fact that dehumidifiers display the amount of humidity in the air. I have no idea why NewAir listed this as a dehumidifier. I understand that AC mode can serve as a slight dehumidifier, but that's not so concentrated on that function.

This is the same unit I purchased and it has an OFF mode. Hold the set button until it scrolls through wind speed and temperature to OFF. Bingo, you got it turned off.

Easy...when installing, make sure the unit is attached to an on/off wall switch. The LED color tells you what mode it's in. When in HI mode(LED is amber)fan will stay on HI indefinitely. A quick off and then on again puts it into AUTO mode(LED is blue)which activates the moisture sensor and either HI or LOW fan. The unit will then turn itself on or off(adjusting the fan speed)according to the water moisture level in the room. Toggling on/off quickly changes the modes...simple!

Yes -- In the Installation Guide (69-2693-02), which I believe is available on line if not in the package, under Installer Setup, function # 0380 must be set to 1 (thermostat controls dehumidification with air conditioner). In that mode, there are 6 keypads across the bottom of the display rather than the 5 shown in this figure and the humidity control level is displayed below the temperature; actual current humidity is seen after MORE keypad is touched. Great thermostat -- especially for our house in Florida.

Both of the other answers are wrong. There is a "Dry" mode for dehumidifying. You can download the operating manual from Friedrich's site to verify that for yourself, but here is the relevant section from the manual...OPERATION MODE SELECTORPush the `Mode' button to rotate betweenMoneySaver → Cool → Fan → Dry modes.(select Dry mode for dry/dehumidifier operation)

Yes, but not for extremes: Operating Temperature 0 - 40 °C (32 - 104 °F) Humidity Max. 85% non-condensing

I do not use dehumidifier function. Can't tell about noose. We live in about 20% humidity.

I'm sorry but I'm not an HVAC guy and really couldn't offer any technical advice. I only know of the application in my system which is to drain water that's been removed from the air- dehumidified. Sorry I can't be of any assistance.

You can do this manually from the touch screen. Might also be able to program one of the periods to just fan without heat or cool but have not tried.

There is no meaningful fan/blower on the unit. You will need to have a way for the air to flow from other rooms into the room where the dehumidifier is located.

Odor will not cause the dehumidistat to turn on. The fan could be turned on by lowering the humidity setting, and then turning it back up each time it was needed. A simple wall switch for the fan would be just as effective - and less expensive.

I have had this model for about 3 months. The fan does run even after the preset humidity has been reached, but there is a timer setting ( that frankly I haven't completely figured out) that allows some control. I've found the dehumidifier works great and the automatic built in pump feature is wonderful. I also have found that the electrical usage is reasonable. I'd buy this again, even though I'd prefer it if the fan shut off when the dehumidifier does.

Unclear how to do this. I have accidentally set the humidity level by fiddling around when the unit is first powering up, but since it isn't possible (as far as I can see) to discern the setting by looking at the display - good luck. (But it does run very quietly, and since I don't have mine on continuous drain - I empty the tub daily - it doesn't matter...)

There are two cooling modes. If you use the dehumidifier mode you must connect a hose up to the outlet on the rear of the machine to allow drainage. If you just use the cooling mode (that does not kick on the dehumidifier) then no drainage hose is necessary. We used this mode for our sons room and it worked great during the summer months. This unit also keeps his room warm during the winter months as it doubles as a heater.

You could do so by mounting the unit to a larger panel that is cut to fit your window opening. The dehumidistat may not be the control you want, though. You may want to either set it to the lowest humidity setting, or bypass it, as you probably want to control the fan by your garage air temperature. Check to see if company offers similar unit with thermostat instead.

Yes. I have a short hose attached to a faucet-like port on the dehumidifier and just let it run on it's own. It took about 5 minutes to set it all up.

All dehumidifiers release warm air. I don't class it as hot air. This action is a part of the process of extracting water from the air. The amount of warm air is not sufficient to be of concern.
