2. CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE
Water can be automatically connected or drained into a sink, a larger container or through the wall
into an external duct by attaching a hose to the unit (10 mm internal diameter) (not included). Insert
the hose into the drain outlet at the back of the unit as shown here.
WATER DRAINAGE
1.USING THE TANK
Remove the tank slowly. Grasp the tank firmly by its handle and carefully remove it. Remove the cap from
the top of the tank and empty the water tank before reinserting it into the dehumidifier. The tank must be in
place and secure for the dehumidifier to work again. The dehumidifier will restart when the tank is returned to
its correct position.
-
- CARRYING HANDLE
- - The handle of the appliance is designed to make it easier to move and should not be used to support the
entire weight of the dehumidifier. When transporting the appliance, it must be kept in an upright position and
sufficiently supported by the base.
- - The handle should not be used if the fixings show signs of deterioration.
1. CLEANING THE GRILLE AND HOUSING
Use water and a mild detergent to clean the
washable mesh filters. Do not use bleach or abrasive
cleaners. Do not spray water directly onto the main
unit. Doing so may cause electric shock, damage the
insulation or cause the unit to rust. The air inlet and
outlet grilles get dirty easily, so use a hoover
attachment or a soft brush to clean them. Wipe the
body of the dehumidifier with a soft, damp cloth or
paper towel.
Remove the ABS filter frame. If the optional carbon filters are fitted, remove them
from the frame and vacuum gently every 2-3 weeks or so.
If the mesh filter is dirty, vacuum it, if it is very dirty, wash it with hot soapy water and dry it thoroughly before
putting it back in the appliance. When the filter cleaning is complete and the filters are dry, put them back into the
appliance. NOTE: The charcoal filter is optional, but never operate the appliance without the mesh filter frame
correctly inserted.
2.CLEANING THE WATER TANK
Every few weeks, clean the tank to prevent the growth of mould and bacteria. Partially fill the tank with clean water
and add a little mild detergent. Run the water, then empty the tank and rinse. NOTE: Do not use a dishwasher to
clean the tank. After cleaning and drying, the tank must be securely reinserted into the dehumidifier to resume
operation.
END OF SEASON MAINTENANCE
