Care and maintenance
Air fi lter
Your dehumidifi er features a removable Air Filter. This
fi lter is located at the front of the unit (behind the air
intake grill) directly above the water tank compartment.
The air fi lter plays an important role in helping to reduce
dust and dirt particles from the surrounding environment.
To maintain maximum operating effi ciency, the fi lter
must be checked and cleaned regularly (every 2 weeks).
More frequent cleaning may be required depending
upon indoor air quality.
Important: Never operate the unit without the air fi lter in
place.
Air fi lter removal:
1. There are two options depending on
your model:
Option A: Grasp the fi lter handle, and
pull the fi lter out. The fi lter will slide out
easily
Option B: Remove the bucket and pull
the fi lter downwards.
2. Clean the fi lter thoroughly using
a vacuum cleaner or wash using
lukewarm water and mild detergent.
Dry thoroughly before re-installing.
3. To re-install the air fi lter, slide the
fi lter back inside the tracks and push
inward.
4. Press the reset fi lter button.

• Check the house fuse/
circuit breaker box and
replace the fuse or reset
the breaker
• The unit turns off auto-
matically when either
condition occurs. Change
to a lower setting or emp-
ty the bucket and replace
properly
• The bucket must be in
place and securely seat-
ed for the unit to operate.

the air as it
should
• Did not allow
enough time
to remove the
moisture
• Airfl ow is
restricted
• Dirty fi lter
• The humidity
control may
not be set low
enough
• Doors and win-
dows may not
be closed tightly
• Clothes dryer
may be blowing
moisture-laden
air into the
room
• Room tempera-
ture is too low
• Allow at least 24 hours
to maintain the desired
dryness
• Make sure there are no
curtains, blinds or furni-
ture blocking the front or
back of the dehumidifi er.
• For drier air, press the ▼
button and set to a lower

• Check that all doors, win-
dows and other openings
are securely closed
• Install the dehumidifi er
away from the dryer. The

• Moisture removal is
best at higher room
temperatures. Lower
room temperatures will
reduce the moisture
removal rate. Modes are
designed to be operated
at temperatures above
5°C (41°F)
