FILTER CLEANING

When the filter needs to be cleaned, the filter indicator light will come on (after 

approximately 250 hours of use). Remove the filter from the back of the unit by 
using your thumbs to press down on the filter tabs directly above the filter. 

Clean the filter with warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly before putting back 

in place. Once filter is back in the unit, press the FILTER button to reset the filter 
indicator.

CAUTION:

  Do not clean the filter in a dishwasher. Do not operate the 

dehumidifier without the included filter in place.

AUTOMATIC DEFROST

When frost builds up on the evaporator coils, the compressor will cycle off 

and the fan will continue to run until the frost disappears. When the coils 
are completely defrosted, the compressor or fan (depending on model) will 
automatically restart and dehumidification will resume.

AUTOMATIC RESTART 

In the event of a power interruption such as a power outage or the plug being 

disconnected from the outlet, your dehumidifier will automatically restart in 
the same setting once power has been restored to the unit. The only functions/
features that will have to be restored manually upon resumption of power are 
the timer function and the child lock mode.
