Cleaning the Filter
The dehumidifier features an air intake filter to prevent
damage to the unit and improve the room climate.
The unit ETF 150 also has a charcoal filter that requires
replacement when contaminated. The charcoal filter is
intended solely to improve the quality of the room air and
is therefore not required for operation.
Check the air filters at least every two weeks and clean
or replace them according to the instructions to prevent
loss of performance or device malfunctions.

Reinstall the filter frame carefully after cleaning or re-
placing the air intake filter.
9. Ensure that the frame is correctly seated and posi-
tioned.
