CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Care and cleaning of the dehumidifier
Turn the dehumidifier 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 fill 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 dehumidifier to operate.

The air filter behind the front grille should be
checked and cleaned at least every two weeks
or more often if necessary.
NOTE: DO NOT RINSE OR PUT THE FILTER
IN AN AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER.
To remove:
Grip the tab on the filter and pull it upward, then
pull it out as shown in Fig.8.
Clean the filter with warm, soapy water. Rinse and
let the filter dry before replacing it. Do not clean the
filter in a dishwasher.
To attach:
Insert the air filter into the unit from underside to
upside. See Fig.10.
After turning off the unit, wait one day before emptying
the bucket.
Clean the main unit, water bucket and air filter.
Cover the unit with a plastic bag.
Store the unit upright in a dry, well-ventilated place.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
DO NOT operate the dehumidifier without a filter
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.
