Maintenance
Clean the dehumidifier and pre-filter regularly to maintain ma xi m u m
performance
and
efficiency
and to prolong the unit's
life.
Be
sure to always unplug
the
dehumidifier from the
power outlet before
cleaning.
Cleaning the Unit
Use
a soft dry cloth to wipe the body clean. If necessary, use
lukewarm
water to
dampen a
cloth to
clean
the unit. Use a soft bristle brush
and
vacuum cleaner
to clean
between
the air
intake and exhaust vents.
Never use abrasive
chemicals,
volatile substances,
gasoline, detergents,
chemically treated
cloths, or other
cleaning
solvents
that may
damage
the
cabinet exterior.
Never spray water directly on the unit.
Cleaning the Pre-filter
Clean the pre-filter
periodically
to prolong the unit's
life, and
keep the
unit
running efficiently.
Lint, dust, and dirt can clog the unit and
reduce
its
performance
and effectiveness. If the unit is
used in a dusty
environment
you may need to
clean
the pre-filter on
a
weekly basis.
To clean the pre-filter, follow the steps below:
1. Power off the unit. Remove the water bucket and then remove the pre-filter as shown below.
2. Use a vacuum cleaner or tap the pre-filter lightly to remove loose dust and dirt, then rinse it
thoroughly under lukewarm running water (below 104°F). You may use a mild soap and water
solution if needed. Allow the pre-filter to air dry in a cool and shaded place. Dry the pre-filter
thoroughly before reinstalling it.
3. Reinsert the pre-filter.
Important: On a regular basis it is required that the pre-filter be inspected for buildup of lint, dust,
and other materials. A clogged pre-filter can restrict proper airflow and cause undue strain on the
mechanical components of your dehumidifier resulting in reduced performance and shorter
product lifespan.
