lem exsists.
2. In a home, locate the unit in a bathroom, laundry room, crawlspace, or other mois-
ture-prone area.
3. Direct the exhaust airfl ow toward moisture problem areas. For best results, close
outside doors, hatches, portholes, etc.

tion of an RV won’t effect the unit. Rough handling or dropping the unit will cause it to

Cleaning and Maintenance
Use a non-abrasive cleanser on the cabinet and wipe off with a clean rag to keep the
cabinet looking new and clean. Occasionally, check the evaporator (condensation coil
at the air intake) and the condenser. If either is contaminated with dust, dirt or debris
have the unit serviced by a qualifi ed technician.
Clean and dry out the drain base and hose occasionally to avoid mold, mildew or bacte-
ria buildup. Inspect the hose for blockages caused by kinks, dirt, mold and/or mildew.
Clean and straighten as necessary.
Always unplug the dehumidifi er before cleaning or servicing the unit.
Only a qualifi ed technician should perform repairs or the servicing of this unit
