CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Always switch off the unit and unplug from the mains socket before cleaning or
performing any maintenance. When not in use for long periods it is also advisable
to remove the plug from the power socket.
Wipe the outside of the unit with a soft, damp cloth. A mild detergent may be
used if necessary. Dry with a cloth. Do not use any harsh abrasives or solvents.
Never immerse this appliance in water or any other liquid.
The air filter should also be cleaned regularly. To remove the filter:
• Grip the bottom tab of the filter and pull outwards to
remove from the back of the unit.
• To dislodge any dust from the filter, you can either tap filter
lightly over a dustbin or use a vacuum cleaner to remove all
dirt.
• Wash the filter in warm soapy water (using a neutral
detergent), rinse well with clean water and then leave to
dry.
• Once the filter is thoroughly dry, reinstall the air filter
securely into the back of the appliance.
• Press the Filter button to reset and the light will go off.
The water tank should be cleaned every few weeks to prevent growth of mould,
mildew and bacteria. Partially fill the tank with clean water and add a little mild
detergent. Swish it around and then empty the tank and rinse.
To thoroughly clean and dry the tank you can remove the handle and lid to gain
access to the inside of the tank.
