CARE & MAINTENANCE
CLEANING UNIT
To avoid possible electric shock, ensure that the
appliance is unplugged before performing any
cleaning or maintenance.
The outside of the appliance can be wiped clean
with a soft cloth or with a lukewarm, damp cloth if
necessary.
Do not use gasoline, benzene, thinner or any
other chemicals to clean this appliance as these
substances can cause damage to the finish and
deformation of plastic parts.
Never pour water directly onto the appliance as this
will cause deterioration of electrical components
and wiring insulation.
Ensure that the drain ports on the interior of the
appliance and the drain ports on the back of the
appliance are free of dirt and calcium build up.
Note: Do not clean the drain ports with anything
more rigid than a pipe cleaner as this can damage
the appliance.
Note: If the drain ports are clogged or dirty it
can cause water to leak from the bottom of the
appliance.
END OF SEASON CARE
Unplug the dehumidifier and ensure the filter is
clean. Ensure the bucket is empty and then allow
both the bucket and the dehumidifier to dry
completely before storing for the off season. It could
take a few days for water inside the dehumidifier
to completely evaporate. You can speed up this
process by wiping the bucket with a dry cloth and
ensuring the lower drain of the dehumidifier has
been emptied. Store the dehumidifier covered in a
dry location.
