Water tank cleaning
Every few weeks, clean the tank to prevent growth of mould, mildew and bacteria.
Partially fill the tank with clean water and add a little mild detergent or light bleach
solution. Swish it around in than empty the tank and rinse.
NOTE: Do not use a dishwasher to clean the tank. After cleaning and drying the tank must
be reinserted securely into dehumidifier in order to restart operation. Only use soft wet
cloth or paper towel. Do not use detergent or very hot water.

Frequently Asked Questions
Smells and odours
On first use the dehumidifier and periodically afterwards you might
notice a smell coming from the dehumidifier. This is caused by the
Zeolite desiccant material and is not a sign that the dehumidifier is faulty,
nor is it harmful to humans or pets. The smell occurs because the
desiccant disc absorbs odours from ambient like cooking smells,
cigarettes, cosmetics, hair sprays, building materials and new furniture
and then when the desiccant is heated the smell is discharged back
into the room. This smell has been described as being like a burning
smell or acrid smell. It is normal, will not last long and is not a sign of a
fault. You can clear it by running the dehumidifier in a separate
ventilated space like a garage or if it is dry – outside.
