Care and cleaning of the dehumidifier
Turn the dehumidifier off and remove the plug from the wall outlet before
cleaning.
Clean the Grille and Case
z
Use water and a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or abrasives.
z
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.
z
The air intake and outlet grilles get soiled easily, so use a vacuum
attachment or brush to clean.
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.
Clean the air filter
z
Remove the filter every two weeks based on normal operating conditions.
z
To remove the filter, pull filter outwards.
z
Wash the filter with clean water then dry.

Re-install the filter, replace Bucket.
CAUTION
DO NOT operate the dehumidifier without a
filter because dirt and lint will clog it and reduce
performance.
