CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Care and cleaning of the dehumidifier

Turn the dehumidifier off and r emove 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.

3. Clean the air filter

The air filter behind the front grille should be

checked and cleaned at least every 30 days

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 out as shown

in Fig.A.

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 the side and push

it in. See Fig.C

CAUTION:

DO NOT operate the dehumidifier without a filter

because dirt and lint will clog it and reduce

performance.

4. When not using the unit for long time periods

After turning off the unit, wait one day before

emptying the tank.

Clean the main unit, bucket and air filter.

Wrap the cord and bundle it with the band or twist the excess

cord onto the power cord hook(depending on models).

Cover the unit with a plastic bag.

Store the unit upright in a dry, well-ventilated place.
