CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Care and cleaning the dehumidifier
Turn the dehumidifier off and remove the plug from the socket before
cleaning.
1. Clean the Grille and Housing
•
Use water and a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or abrasive detergents.
•
Do not splash water directly onto the unit. Doing so may cause an electrical
shock, damage insulation, or cause the unit to rust.
•
The air intake and outlet grilles get soiled easily, so use a vacuum cleaner or
brush to clean.
2. Clean the bucket
Every few weeks, clean the bucket to prevent growth of mold and bacteria.
Partially fill the bucket with clean water and add a little mild detergent and clean,
empty and wash out the bucket.
NOTE: Do not use a dishwasher to clean the bucket. After clean, the bucket must
be in place and securely seated for the dehumidifier to operate.
3. Clean the air filter
The air filter behind the front grille should be checked
and cleaned at least every 30 days or more often if
necessary.
NOTE: DO NOT RINSE OR PUT THE FILTER IN AN
AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER.
To remove:
Grip the tab on the filter and pull it upward, then pull it
out as shown in Fig. Clean the filter with warm, soapy
water. Rinse and let the filter dry before replacing it.
Do not clean the filter in a dishwasher.
To attach:
Insert the air filter into the unit from underside to
upside. See Fig.
CAUTION:
DO NOT operate the dehumidifier without a filter
because dirt and fibers will clog it and reduce
performance.
4. When not using the unit for long time periods
•
After turning off the unit, wait one day before emptying the bucket.
•
Clean the main unit, water bucket and air filter.
•
Cover the unit with a plastic bag.
•
Store the unit upright in a dry, well-ventilated place
.
