Maintenance
Always unplug the unit from the mains before carrying out any
maintenance or cleaning the unit.
Cleaning the body of the dehumidifier
Use a soft cloth to wipe the unit clean.
Never use strong detergents, gasoline or chemically treated
cloths as these may damage the casing.
Cleaning the air filter
This dehumidifier is equipped with 2 filters:
1. Dust filter
2. Activated carbon filter (for capturing the particles of dust from
the air and preventing the production of bacteria).
Dust filter
Pull out the filter holder and remove the active carbon filter (
C
)
( Fig. 8, 9 ). Use a vacuum cleaner, or rinse the filter lightly with
water. If the filter is particularly dirty, use warm water and some
mild detergent (
Fig. 10 ).
Make sure that the filter is absolutely dry before putting it back.
Do not expose the filter to sunlight.
Active carbon filter
The active carbon filter, placed under the dust filter, is not
washable. Its life time is variable and depends on the ambient
conditions where the unit is used. The filter should be checked
periodically and replaced if necessary.
Storage
• If the dehumidifier is not used for a longer period of time
please: Turn the unit off, unplug and clean it.
•
Empty the water tank completely and wipe it clean.
•
Clean the dust filter.
•
Cover the unit and store where it will not get direct sunlight.

Before leaving the dehumidifier for service, check the following:
Problem Possible cause
The unit doesn’t run. Is the unit plugged in? Is the mains supply in the building on?
Is the water full indicator showing red? (If so, the water tank is full or the tank is
not in correct position.)
The unit produces
little or no water.
Is the filter dusty or dirty? Is the air intake or utput blocked?
Is the humidity in the room already quite low? Is the room temperature below 8°C?
The humidity in the
room is not reduced.
Are windows and doors closed in the room?
Is there something in the room producing lots of humidity?
High noice level. Is the unit positioned uneven so vibration is created?
