aintenance
Always remove the plug from the power socket before performing any cleaning or mainte-
nance operations. For safety reasons, never wash the dehumidifier using a water jet.
C
leaning the cabinet
• Clean the appliance using a damp cloth then dry with a dry cloth.
• Never use petrol, alcohol or solvents to clean the appliance.
• Never spray the appliance with insecticides or similar. These could cause the paint to flake or
plastic parts to warp.
C
leaning the air filter
If the filter is dirty, air circulation is compromised and the efficiency
of the dehumidifying and air purifying functions decreases.
It is therefore good practice to clean the filter at regular intervals.
The frequency depends on the duration and conditions of operation.
If the unit is used constantly or systematically, you are
recommended to clean the filter once a week.
• To remove the air filter, extract by pulling it as shown in fig. 5.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust accumulations from
the filter. If the filter is very dirty, wash in warm water and rinse
several times. The temperature of the water should not
exceed 40˚C. After washing the filter, allow to dry completely
I
f the appliance is not used for long periods
• Unplug from the mains socket and empty the tank.
• Clean and reposition the filter.
• Cover the appliance so that dust does not build up.
E
lectrostatic purification filters (some models only)
The special high-efficiency electrostatic filter can capture very small particles (down to 0.3
µm). The filter is active in all of the functions.
Replace the filter at the end of each season, or in any case when depleted. The filters are avai-
lable at the authorized DL service centres or Dè Longhi sales outlets.
Do not attempt to clean the electrostatic filter, as this may diminish its filtering capacity
