Tips
•
Do
not
cover
or
restrict
the
airflow
from
the
outlet
or
inlet
grills.
•
For
maximum
performance
the
minimum
distance
from
a
wall
should
be
20
cm
and
it
should
be
kept
50cm
from
objects
within
the
room.
•
Keep
the
filters
or
grills
of
the
unit
clean.
Under
normal
conditions,
filters
or
grills
should
only
need
cleaning
once
every
three
weeks
(approximately).
Do
not
use
the
unit
without
the
mesh
air
filter
as
this
will
allow
dirt
to
gather
inside
the
dehumidifier
and
could
invalidate
the
warranty.
A
dirty
filter
will
restrict
the
air
flow
into
the
machine
which
will
increase
the
resistance
on
the
fan
and
could
result
in
damage
and
might
invalidate
the
warranty.
Since
the
filters
remove
airborne
particles,
more
frequent
cleaning
maybe
necessary,
depending
on
the
air
quality.
Vacuum
and
wash
the
mesh
filters
with
hot
soapy
water
and
dry
them
before
placing
them
back
in
the
unit.
