4 Maintenance

4.1 General

Munters dehumidifiers are designed for long, continuous operation 
with minimum attention. Under normal operating conditions, 
requirements for maintenance are minimal.

Maintenance interval lengths are primarily determined by operating 
conditions and the environment in which the unit is installed. When in 
doubt, consult Munters’ product service department. See addresses for 
Munters representatives on the back cover of this manual.

4.2 Safety

WARNING! 

Adjustments, maintenance and repairs may only be carried out by 

qualified personnel who are aware of the risks involved during the maintenance 
of equipment containing high electrical voltage and high machine temperatures.

4.3 Maintenance Schedule

The following maintenance schedule is recommended by Munters and 
covers procedures for inspection and maintenance as well as suggested 
time intervals for a unit that operates under normal operational and 
environmental conditions.

If the process air has a high dust content, preventative scheduled 
maintenance should be performed at shorter intervals than what is 
specified.
