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.
3. Clean the air filter
Remove the filter every two weeks based on normal
operating conditions.
To remove the filter, pull filter outwards (See Fig.14).
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.
4. When not using the unit for long time periods
After turning off the unit, wait one day before emptying
the bucket.
Clean the main unit, water bucket and air filter.
Wrap the cord with the power cord buckle.
Cover the unit with a plastic bag.
Store the unit upright in a dry, well-ventilated place.
