MAINTENANCE
NOTE: TURN OFF THE UNIT AND REMOVE PLUG FROM OUTLET BEFORE CLEANING.
GRILL AND CASE
To clean the case:
Use water and a mild detergent.
DO NOT
use bleach or an abrasive cleaner.
DO NOT
splash water directly onto the main unit. Doing so may cause an electrical shock,
cause the insulation to deteriorate, or cause the unit to rust.
To clean the grill:
Use a vacuum with an attachment or brush.
AIR FILTER
The air filter is behind the front grill of the dehumidifier. It should be
checked and cleaned at least every 250 hours of operation or more often
if necessary.
To remove:
Remove the bucket, grasp the filter edge, and pull it straight down and out.
To clean:
Clean the filter with warm, soapy water. Rinse and let the filter dry before
reinstalling it.
NOTE:
DO NOT rinse or put the filter in an automatic dishwasher.
DO NOT operate the dehumidifier without a filter because dirt and lint will
clog it and reduce performance.
WATER TANK
To clean:
Every few weeks, rinse the inside of the water tank
with a mild detergent to prevent growth of mold,
mildew, and bacteria. Partially fill the tank with clean
water and add a little mild detergent. Swish it around
inside the tank, empty and rinse.
NOTE: DO NOT use dishwasher to clean the water tank.
