CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
For safety reasons, ensure that the
dehumidifier is turned off before cleaning
or repairing it.
Cleaning the exterior of the dehumidifier
Clean the exterior with a clean and dry
cloth.
If the dehumidifier is very dirty, clean it
with a neutral detergent and then remove
the detergent with a damp cloth.
Do not wash the appliance with a hose
as this will cause energy leaks and risk of
electric shock.
Cleaning the air filter (every 2 weeks)
Dust accumulates in the filter and restricts
air flow. Restricted air flow reduces the
efficiency of the system and, if blocked,
can damage the dehumidifier.
The air filter requires regular cleaning. The
air filter is removable to facilitate cleaning.
Do not plug in the dehumidifier
without the air filter or it may become
contaminated.
Remove the water tank from the body of
the appliance and then remove the filter
from the lower part of the rear lid.
Use a vacuum cleaner to gently suction the
dust from the surface.
If the filter is very dirty, wash it with water
and a mild detergent, then dry it very well.
Return the filter to place.
PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
Empty the water tank when full or when
the full tank indicator appears on the
screen. After emptying the removable
water tank, return it to its original position.
The appliance will resume operation.
Whenever the appliance stops, you
should wait for at least 3 minutes before
restarting it to prevent damage to the
compressor.
If the appliance does not start or if it
intermittently stops working for unknown
reasons, check the power cord and plug.
If these are in normal working condition,
unplug the appliance from the wall outlet
and wait 10 minutes before restarting it.
If after 10 minutes the appliance does not
restart, contact FLAMA (customer support
line) or an authorized technical support
service.
While the appliance is working, the
compressor produces heat, which can
raise the temperature of the room. This is
normal and does not affect the operation
of the appliance.
STORAGE
If you will not use the appliance for a long
period of time, follow the following steps:
Remove the plug from the wall outlet and
empty the water tank. Allow the water
tank and dehumidifier to dry completely.
Clean the air filter.
Store the appliance vertically in a dust-free
location, preferably covered with a plastic
covering.
