Cleaning
M
aintenance
Always unplug the appliance from the power socket before performing any cleaning or maintenance
operations. For safety reasons, never wash the dehumidifier using a jet of water.
C
leaning the cabinet
• Clean the appliance using a damp cloth then dry with a dry cloth.
• Never use petrol, alcohol or solvents to clean the appliance.
• Never spray the appliance with insecticides or similar. These could cause the paint to flake
or plastic parts to warp.
C
leaning the air filter
If the filter is dirty, air circulation is compromised and the efficiency of the dehumidifying and
air purifying functions decreases. It is therefore good practice to clean the filter at regular inter-
vals. The frequency depends on the duration and conditions of operation.
• -It is good practice to clean the filter every week.
• -To remove the air filter, pull it out (Fig. 4).
• -Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust accumulations from
the filter. If the filter is very dirty, wash in warm water and
rinse several times.
The temperature of the water must not exceed 40°C.
After washing the filter, allow it to dry completely before
repositioning it.
I
f the appliance is not used for long periods
• After having unplugged the appliance from the power
socket, empty the tank.
• Clean and reposition the filter.
• Cover the appliance with a plastic bag so that dust does
not build up.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (UK ONLY)
A) If your appliance comes fitted with a plug, it will incorporate a
13 Amp fuse. If it does not fit your socket, the plug should be cut
off from the mains lead, and an appropriate plug fitted, as
below.
WARNING: Very carefully dispose of the cut off plug after remo-
ving the fuse: do not insert in a 13 Amp socket elsewhere in the
house as this could cause a shock hazard.
With alternative plugs not incorporating a fuse, the circuit must
be protected by a 15 Amp fuse.
If the plug is a moulded-on type, the fuse cover must be re-fitted
when changing the fuse using a 13 Amp Asta approved fuse to
BS 1362. In the event of losing the fuse cover, the plug must
NOT be used until a replacement fuse cover can be obtained
from your nearest electrical dealer. The colour of the correct
replacement fuse cover is that as marked on the base of the plug.
B)
If your appliance is not fitted with a plug, please follow the
instructions provided below:
