FILTER CLEANING
The air inlet grille at the back of the
dehumidifier also acts as the filter holder.
The filter includes a mesh dust filter to capture
larger airborne particles, and a black carbon
filter for finer debris and to help reduce odours
and smoke.
WARNING
It is important to keep the filter clean as
a dirty filter may cause a reduction in the
dehumidifiers performance.
NOTE
Clean the filter at least monthly, or more often
if in frequent use.
FILTER FREQUENT CLEANING
1. Remove the air inlet grille from the back
of the dehumidifier as per the illustration
below.

2. With the dust filter and carbon filter still
attached to the air inlet grille, use a hand-
tool on a vacuum cleaner (such as a brush
or upholstery tool) to clean both sides.
Alternatively, lightly tap the grille over a
garbage receptacle to loosen the dust.
3. Replace the air inlet grille onto the
dehumidifier. Ensure the grille clicks
into place correctly before using the
dehumidifier.
FILTER HEAVY-DUTY CLEANING
If dirt and dust has built up, and a simple clean
(as instructed above) does not remove all the
debris, it is recommended that the filters be
separated for cleaning.
1. Remove the air inlet grille from the back of
the dehumidifier.
2. To separate the mesh dust filter from the
grille, pull outwards using the tab in the
middle of the filter to disengage from the
clips on the grille.

3. The black carbon filter sits between the dust
filter and the air inlet grille as per the above
illustration.
4. Use a hand-tool on a vacuum cleaner (such
as a brush or upholstery tool) to clean the
dust from both filters, or tap the filters
lightly over a garbage receptacle to loosen
the dust from the filter.
5. If the dirt and dust has built up on the mesh
dust filter, hand wash in warm, soapy water,
then rinse well and dry before replacing.
WARNING
Never wet the carbon filter. This filter can be
cleaned by simply tapping over a garbage
receptacle.
6. Place the carbon filter back into the air inlet
grille, then place the dust filter over the
carbon filter by pressing firmly downwards
to clip into the grille.
7. Replace the air inlet grille back onto the
dehumidifier.
STORAGE
1. Disconnect the dehumidifier from the
power outlet.
2. Ensure the water tank is empty and cleaned
as per instruction.
3. Clean the dehumidifier as per instructions.
4. Store the dehumidifier upright and avoid
standing in direct sunlight if leaving for
long periods.
5. Never store anything on top of the
dehumidifier.
