CLEANING

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 op-
erating conditions. Remove the
fi
lter from the top of the unit (option
A), or you can choose to remove the bucket and then pull the
fi
lter
downwards (option B). Wash the
fi
lter with clean water, then dry.
Re-install the
fi
lter, replace the bucket (option B). Press the “reset
fi
lter” button.
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 and bundle it with the band (as shown in
Fig. 3). Store the unit upright in a dry, well ventilated place.
