Cleaning the air filter
Air circulation is impeded and the efficiency of the dehumidifying and air purifying functions decreases when
the filter is dirty. It is therefore good practice to clean the filter at regular intervals. The precise intervals depend
on the room in which the appliance operates and on how frequently it is used. Appliances in constant/regular
use should have their filters cleaned once a week.
• The filter should be cleaned weekly.
• To remove the filter, open the tank access panel, remove the tank and
remove the filter by pulling downwards (fig. 4).
• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust that builds up on the filter.
If the filter is very dirty, wash it in warm water and rinse several times.
The temperature of the water should not exceed 40
°
C.
After washing the filter, allow it to dry completely before replacing it in
the appliance.
If the appliance is not used for long periods
• Disconnect the plug from the power socket and empty the tank.
• Clean and replace the filter.
• Protect the appliance from dust by covering with a large plastic bag.
