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, 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 a soft brush.
3.
If dirt and grease have 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 the 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.

POWER CORD MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENT
If the power cord is damaged, it could cause a short circuit or become a fire risk. Please avoid pulling
the cord, twisting or pressing it and keep it away from pets. If the power cord is damaged, power
the unit off and unplug it immediately. Contact an electrician or service centre for repairs; do not
attempt to repair the unit yourself.
