Care and cleaning of the dehumidier
Turn the dehumidier off and remove the plug from
the wall outlet before cleaning.
1. 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.
2. 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
dehumidier to operate.
3. Clean the air lter
● Remove the lter every two weeks based on normal operating
conditions.
● To remove the lter, pull lter outwards (See Fig.14).
● Wash the lter with clean water then dry.
● Re-install the lter, replace Bucket.
CAUTION:
DO NOT operate the dehumidier without a lter because dirt
and lint will clog it and reduce performance.
NOTE: The cabinet and front may be dusted with an oil-free
cloth or washed with a cloth dampened in a solution of warm
water and mildliquid dishwashing detergent. Rinse thoroughly
and wipe dry. Never use harsh cleansers, wax or polish on
the cabinet front. Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth
before wiping around the controls. Excess water in or around
the controls may cause damage to the unit.
