Care and Maintenance
Always switch off the unit and unplug from the mains before cleaning or
performing any maintenance. When it is not in use for long periods it is advised to
remove the plug from the plug socket. Do not use chemical solvents (such as
benzene, alcohol or gasoline) as they may cause irreversible damage to the unit.
Filter Cleaning
Air-inlet and air-outlet may gather dust easily, please clean it often with a soft,
damp cloth. If the filter is covered by dust, the airflow and the performance of
the unit will be affected, it may even cause machine damage. We recommend
that you regularly clean the filters. Disconnect the dehumidifier from socket
before maintenance and let it dry before reuse.
1.
Remove the filters from the unit. Tap the dust away first.
2.
Clean the carbon and the mesh filter with a vacuum
cleaner or soft-brush
3.
If dirt and grease is accumulated wash the mesh filter in
hot soapy water
3.
Replace the filter in position as shown in the diagram
above
Note:
Never use the unit without the antibacterial mesh dust filter. The active
carbon filter is optional and should be replaced if necessary after 1-1 ½ years of
usage.
Grille and Case Cleaning
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 and can lead to 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 soft brush to clean.
