Place the dehumidifer in a 
location that does not restrict air
flow into the rear coil or out the
front grille.

The dehumidifier must be 
operated in an enclosed area to
be most effective. Close all doors,
windows and other outside open-
ings to the room. 

A dehumidifier operating in a
basement will have little or no
effect in drying an adjacent
enclosed storage area, such as a
closet, unless there is adequate
circulation of air in and out of 
the area. 

Location

Turn the dehumidifier off and
remove the plug from the wall 
outlet before cleaning.

To clean the case:

Use water and a mild detergent.
Do not use bleach or abrasives.

To clean the grille:

Use a vacuum attachment or
brush.

Grille and Case

After removing the air filter, clean
the coil on the inside with a soft
brush when the soil is soft and wet.

DO NOT

allow water to enter the

electrical/machine compartment
through the circular opening
behind the coil.

DO NOT

spray the coil with a hose.

Inside the Unit

The air filter is on the back of the
dehumidifier. It should be checked
and cleaned at least every 30 days
or more often if necessary.

To remove:

Flex the filter to release

the tabs on one side. Wash it in
warm soapy water. Rinse and let
the filter dry before replacing it.
