Care and Maintenance
WARNINGS:
• Before cleaning, turn off the dehumidifier and disconnect it from the power supply. If you do not do this, you could create the
risk of electrical shock or other safety hazards.
• Do not wash the dehumidifier with water or submerge the unit in water at any time. This could cause electrical shock or
even a fire.
• Do not use harsh detergents to clean the dehumidifier at any time or else it will strip the paint and damage the unit’s appearance.
Caring for the Air Intake Vent and Outer Casing
• Use a soft, dry towel to wipe down the outer casing and remove dust. If more cleaning is necessary, use a towel that is damp—NOT
wet—with soapy water.
• To clean the air intake vent, you should use a dust catcher or gentle brush.
Caring for the Water Bucket
• Every few weeks, you should remove the water bucket from the unit and clean it to prevent the growth of mold, mildew, and bacteria.
Use a soft brush to clean the bucket and then rinse it out.
• To clean the bucket, you’ll first need to remove the handle. Do this by flipping it up toward the front/top of the bucket so that the pegs
holding it in place are lined up with the holes through which they are fitted (see the figure below). Then pull the bucket plate at the
side of the handle in the direction illustrated below so the pegs come free of the holes and you can remove the handle.
• Once the handle is removed, press down the four buckles surrounding the bucket and lift up the drain
lid to remove it. Then you can easily reach inside the bucket to clean it.
• After cleaning the water bucket, replace the drain lid and handle, and then make sure the float is
positioned correctly. The side with the foam plastic should be beneath the drain lid. Do not remove
the foam plastic on the float.
Caring for the Air Filter
• After 250 hours of operation, the dehumidifier will remind you to clean the air filter. If you are using the
dehumidifier in a location where dust accumulates more quickly, you will need to clean the air filter
more often.
• To remove the air filter, first remove the water bucket. Then, reach inside the opening at the bottom
of the front air vent, grasp the bottom plastic edge of the air filter, and pull straight down to remove it.
• Use warm soapy water to clean the air filter, making sure to rinse it and allow it to air-dry before
replacing it in the dehumidifier.
WARNINGS:
- Do not attempt to operate the dehumidifier without the filter, or else dust will accumulate on the
evaporator and this will affect the unit’s performance.
- Do not dry the air filter with fire or an electric hair-dryer, otherwise the filter could become misshapen or catch on fire.
- Do not use a dust catcher or brush to clean the air filter, as these can permanently damage the filter.
