This document is the owner's manual for a Gree dehumidifier, providing essential information for its safe operation, maintenance, and long-term storage. The manual covers models 13-06090, 13-06091, 13-06092, and 13-06093.
Function Description
The Gree dehumidifier is designed to remove excess moisture from the air in indoor residential spaces, helping to prevent moisture damage to books, valuables, and the overall structure of a home, especially in basements. The dehumidifier operates by drawing moist, humid air over a cold, refrigerated dehumidifying coil. As the air passes over the coil, moisture condenses and drains into a collection bucket. Dry, clean air is then heated by the condenser and discharged out the top grille into the room. It is normal for the surrounding air to become slightly warmer during operation.
The unit features an automatic defrost function. When frost builds up on the evaporator coils, the compressor cycles off, and the fan continues to run until the frost disappears. During defrosting mode, the fan motor runs while the compressor stops. The dehumidifier is most effective when operated in an enclosed area with all doors, windows, and other outside openings closed.

Maintenance Features
Regular maintenance is crucial for the dehumidifier's longevity and efficient operation:
- Cleaning the Grille and Case:
- Case: Use water and a mild detergent; avoid bleach or abrasives.
- Front Grille: Use a vacuum attachment or brush.
- Cleaning the Water Bucket:
- Clean every few weeks to prevent mold, mildew, and bacteria growth.
- Partially fill the bucket with clean water and a little mild detergent, swish it around, then empty and rinse.
- NOTE: Do not use a dishwasher to clean the water bucket.
- To remove, pull out the bucket and pour out water.
- To replace, slide the bucket into the dehumidifier. The bucket must be securely seated for the dehumidifier to operate.
