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.
2oClean 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.
* After cleaning, the bucket must be in place and securely seated for the dehumidifier
to operate.
NOTE: Do not place the bucket in an automatic dishwasher to clean it.
3. Clean the air filter
* Remove the filter every two weeks based
on normal operating conditions,
* Remove bucket then pull filter downwards (See Fig. 17).
* Wash the filter with clean water then dry.
* Re-install the filter.
CAUTION: DO NOT operate the dehumidifier without
a filter because dirt and lint will clog it and reduce
performance.
4. Clean the pump filter
* The pump input hose is tucked up inside on the
right hand side of the bucket area. When the
bucket is in place, it automatically drops down
into the bucket to be in pump position. When
the bucket is removed, it automatically retracts
out of side. This hose has a filter on the end that
should be cleaned every 2 weeks.
o Remove the bucket, reach up and gently pull down
the pump input hose. Gently pry the filter off the
end of the hose and clean it, then replace if, and push
the input hose back up in the locked position (See Fig. 18).
5. When not using the unit for long
periods of time:
* After turning the unff off, waft one day before
emptying the bucket so that all the water will
drain from the unit, and totally dry out.
* Clean the main unit, water bucket and air filter.
* Wrap the cord and bundle it with the band (Fig.19).
* Store the unit upright in a dry, well-ventilated place.
