CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Always shut off the unit and unplug from the mains before cleaning or performing any maintenance. When it is
not in use for long periods it is advisable to remove the plug from the power socket. Do not use chemical solvents
(such as benzene, alcohol or gasoline) as they may cause irreversible damage to the unit.
1. CLEAN THE GRILLE AND CASE
Use water and a mild detergent to clean the washable mesh filters. Do not use bleach or abrasives. Do not splash
water directly onto the main unit. Doing so may cause an electrical shock and can lead to 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 soft brush to clean. Wipe the dehumidifier body with a soft damp cloth or kitchen towel.
Remove the ABS filter frame. If the optional carbon filters are fitted, remove them from the frame and hoover
gently approximately every 2-3 weeks.
If the mesh filter is dirty hoover it, if it is heavily soiled wash it with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly before
reinserting it in the unit.
When filter cleaning is finished and filters are dry placed them back into the unit.
NOTE: While the carbon filter is optional never run the unit without the mesh filter frame correctly inserted.
2. CLEAN THE WATER TANK
Every few weeks, clean the tank to prevent growth of mould, mildew and bacteria. Partially fill the tank with clean
water and add a little mild detergent. Swish it around and then empty the tank and rinse.
NOTE: Do not use a dishwasher to clean the tank. After cleaning and drying, the tank must be reinserted securely
into dehumidifier in order to restart operation.
