3. Clean the air filter
The air filter behind the front grille should be checked and cleaned at least
every 30 days or more often if necessary.
To remove:
• Pull the water bucket out as shown in Fig.4. Grasp the lower side of the
filter and pull it downward, see Fig.7.
• Clean the filter with warm, soapy water. Rinse and let the filter dry before
replacing it. Do not clean the filter in a dishwasher.
To attach:
Insert the air filter into the unit from the side and push it upward. See Fig.10.
CAUTION:
DO NOT operate the dehumidifier without a filter because dirt and lint will
clog it and reduce performance.
Care and cleaning of the dehumidifier
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 may 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. Partially fill the bucket with clean water and add a little mild
detergent. Swish it around in the bucket, empty and rinse.
NOTE:
Do not use a dishwasher to clean the bucket. After
clean, the bucket must be in place and securely seated
for the dehumidifier to operate.
NOTE:
Do not rinse or put the filter in an automatic dishwasher.
