CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Always turn the dehumidifier off and unplug from power source before cleaning.

Clean the Grille and Housing

• Use water and a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or abrasives

• Do not splash water directly onto the unit. Doing so may cause electric shock, cause the

insulation to deteriorate or cause the unit to rust.

• The air intake and outlet grilles get dirty easily, use a vacuum attachment or brush to clean.

Clean the Water Bucket

• Every few weeks, clean the bucket to prevent mold growth, mildew and bacteria.

• Partially fill the bucket with clean water and add a little mild detergent. Swish it around,

empty and rinse.

Note: Do not place bucket in the dishwasher. After cleaning, make sure outside of bucket is

dried off before replacing to its seat.

Clean the Air Filter

• Filter should be cleaned once every two weeks, based on normal operating conditions.

• First remove the bucket and pull filter downwards to remove. (Fig.12)

• Wash the filter with clean water and allow to air dry completely.

• Re-install the filter and replace bucket.

Caution: DO NOT operate the dehumidifier without a filter as dirt and lint will clog

the compressor and reduce performance.

Storage

• After powering off and unplugging the unit, wait one day before emptying the bucket.

• Clean the unit, water bucket and air filter thoroughly.

• Allow to dry completely and replace filter and bucket.

• Wrap the cord and bundle with the band. (Fig.13)

• Cover the unit with a plastic bag.

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