1. Clean the grill and case
Use water and a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or abrasives. Do
not splash water directly onto the main unit. Doing so may cause an
electric shock, cause the insulation to deteriorate, or cause the unit
to rust. The air intake and outlet grills become dirty easily, so use a
vacuum attachment or brush to clean.
2. Clean the bucket
Every few weeks, clean the bucket to prevent growth of mold, mil-
dew and bacteria. Partially
fi
ll the bucket with clean water and add a
small amount of mild detergent. Swish it around in the bucket, empty
and rinse.
Note: Do not use a dishwasher to clean the bucket. After
cleaning, the bucket must be placed and properly positioned for the
dehumidifi er to operate.
3. Clean the air fi lter
Remove and clean the
fi
lter every two weeks based on normal oper-
ating conditions.
Caution: DO NOT operate the dehumidifi er without a fi lter be-
cause dirt and lint will clog it and affect performance.
4. When not using the unit for long periods of time
After turning the unit off, wait one day before emptying the bucket.
Clean the main unit, water bucket and air
fi
lter. Cover the unit with a
plastic bag. Wrap the cord around the power cord buckle. Store the
unit upright in a dry, well ventilated place.
