MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE FILTER
After initial installation the air lter and drain should be checked
and cleaned every 6 months�
1. Press the ON/OFF Button on the user interface to turn the unit
OFF.
2. Loosen the retaining screw on the lter access door
(see FIGURE 1) from the drain side of the dehumidier until it
releases and then remove the lter door.
3. Slide the lter out of the dehumidier.
4. Rinse the lter with water to remove dust and collected
particles from the lter.
5. Shake off excess water from the lter.
6. Clean the drain as described in CLEANING THE DRAIN on
page 5�
7. Reinstall the lter. An arrow on the lter frame shows
the direction of airow and it should point into
the dehumidier.
8. Replace the lter access door and tighten the
retaining screw�
9. Press the ON/OFF Button to turn the dehumidier back ON.
The CLEAN FILTER service reminder (see FIGURE 5) will display
on the control every 6 months� To clear the service message,
press the s or t buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds.
CLEANING THE DRAIN
1. With the lter door on the drain side of the dehumidier
removed, clean the accessible portion of the drain pan
using a mild detergent�
2. If the drain has a capped tee or elbow to allow cleaner to
be poured directly in the drain, remove the cap and pour
approximately one cup of white vinegar into the tube (see
FIGURE 6). If there is no visible access to the drain line from
outside of the dehumidier, pour approximately one cup of
vinegar into the drain pan of the dehumidier.
3. If the dehumidier has clear exible drain tubing, look
for excess buildup in the drain line that might prevent
water ow, and replace as needed. Clear, smooth, exible
3/4" Inside Diameter (ID) drain tubing is available in most
hardware stores or Do-It-Yourself (DIY) retail stores.
