CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Always shut off the unit and unplug it 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.
FILTER CLEANING
The Air-inlet may gather dust easily, please clean it often with a soft, damp cloth. If the filter is
covered by dust, the airflow and the performance of the unit will be affected, it may even cause
damage to the unit. We recommend that you regularly clean the filters. The dehumidifier must be
disconnected from the socket before maintenance and the filters must be allowed to fully dry
before use.
1. Remove the filters from the unit, and tap the dust away.
2. Clean the Carbon (Optional) and the mesh filter with a vacuum cleaner or soft-brush.
3. If dirt and grease is accumulated wash the mesh filter in hot soapy water.
4. Replace the filters in position.
Note:
Never use the unit without the antibacterial mesh dust filter. The active carbon filter is
optional and should be replaced if necessary after 1-1 ½ years of usage.
HEPA FILTER (OPTIONAL):
According to the time and frequency of use, it is generally recommended to replace the HEPA
filter after about 3 months. The HEPA filter cannot be washed.
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 before emptying the tank and
rinsing.
NOTE: Do not use a dishwasher to clean the tank. After cleaning and drying the tank must be
reinserted securely into the dehumidifier in order to restart operation.
