CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Always shut off the unit and unplug from the mains before cleaning or performing any maintenance. When
it is not in use for long periods it is advisable to remove the plug from the power socket. Do not use chemical
solvents (such as benzene, alcohol or gasoline) as they may cause irreversible damage to the unit.
1. CLEAN THE GRILLE AND CASE
Use water and a mild detergent to clean the washable filter frame. Do not use bleach
or abrasives. Do not splash water directly onto the main unit. Doing so may cause an
electric shock and can lead to the insulation to deteriorate, or cause the unit to rust.
The air intake and outlet grilles get soiled easily, so use a vacuum attachment or soft
brush to clean. Wipe the dehumidifier body with a sof
t damp cloth or kitchen towel.
Remove the filter frame. If the optional carbon filters are fitted, remove them from the frame and hoover
gently approcimately every 2-3 weeks.
If the mesh filter is dirty hoover it, if it is heavily soiled wash it with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly
before reinserting it in the unit.
When filter cleaning is finished and filters are dry placed them back into the unit.
NOTE:
While the carbon filter is optional never run the unit without the filter frame correctly inserted.
2. CLEAN THE WATER TANK
Every few weeks, clean the tank to prevent growth of mould, mildew and bacteria. Partially fill the tank with
clean water and add a little mild detergent. Swish it around and than empty the tank and rinse.
NOTE:
Do not use a dishwasher to clean the tank. After cleaning and drying, the tank must be reinserted
securely into dehumidifier in order to restart operation.
