INSTRUCTIONS

• Do not use standard extension cords or an adapter plug with this unit. If it is absolutely necessary
to use an extension cord, use an approved dehumidifier extension cord only (available at most
local hardware stores).
• To avoid the possibility of personal injury, always disconnect the power supply to the unit before
installing and/or servicing.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Turn the dehumidifier off and remove the plug from the wall outlet before cleaning.
1. Clean the grille and case
• Use water and a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or abrasives.
• Do not splash water directly onto the main unit. Doing so could cause an electrical shock, cause
the insulation to deteriorate, or cause the unit to rust.
• The air intake and outlet grilles get soiled easily, so use a vacuum attachment or brush to clean.
2. Clean the bucket
• Every few weeks, clean the bucket to prevent growth of mold, mildew and bacteria.
NOTE: Do not use a dishwasher to clean the bucket.
3. Clean the air filter
• Remove the filter every two weeks based on normal operating conditions.
• To remove the filter, pull filter outwards (see Fig. 5).
• Wash the filter with clean water, then dry.
• Re-install the filter and replace the bucket.
CAUTION: Do not operate the dehumidifier without a filter because dirt and lint 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.
• Wrap the cord and bundle it with the band.
• Cover the unit with a plastic bag.
• Store the unit upright in a dry, well-ventilated place.
