CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Care and cleaning of the dehumidier.
CAUTION - Turn the dehumidier off and remove the plug from the wall outlet
before cleaning.
CLEAN THE GRILLE AND CASE
• Use water and a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or abrasives.
• 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.
• The air intake and outlet grilles get soiled easily, so use a vacuum attachment or
brush to clean.
CLEAN THE BUCKET
• Every few weeks, clean the bucket to prevent growth of mold, mildew and bacteria.
Partially ll the bucket with clean water and add a little mild detergent. Swish it
around in the bucket, empty and rinse.
NOTE: Do not use a dishwasher to clean the bucket. After clean, the bucket must be
in place and securely seated for the dehumidier to operate.
CLEAN THE AIR FILTER
• Remove the lter every two weeks based on normal operating conditions.
• To remove the lter, pull lter outwards.
• Wash the lter with clean water then dry.
• Re-install the lter, replace Bucket.
CAUTION: DO NOT operate the dehumidier without a lter because dirt and lint
will clog it and reduce performance.
Unit should be turned off and unplugged to clean lter.
WHEN NOT USING THE UNIT FOR LONG TIME PERIODS
• After turning off the unit, wait one day before emptying the bucket.
• Clean the main unit, water bucket and air lter.
• Wrap the cord with the power cord buckle.
• Cover the unit with a plastic bag.
• Store the unit upright in a dry, well-ventilated place.
