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.
Care and cleaning
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.
3. Clean the air filter
• The air filter behind the front grille
should be checked and cleaned at
least every 30 days or more often
if necessary.
To remove:
• Grip the tab on the filter and pull it
upward, then pull it out as shown.
• Clean the filter with warm, soapy
water. Rinse and let the filter dry
before replacing it. Do not clean
the filter in a dishwasher.
To attach:
Insert the air filter into the unit from
underside to upside.
4. When not using the unit for long
time periods
• After turning off the unit, wait one
day before emptying the tank.
• Clean the main unit, bucket,
ultrasonic nebulizer and air filter.
• Twist the excess cord onto the
power cord hook.
• Cover the unit with a plastic bag.
• Store the unit upright in a dry, well-
ventilated place.
DO NOT RINSE OR PUT THE FILTER
IN AN AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER.
DO NOT operate the dehumidifier
without a filter because dirt and lint
will clog it and reduce performance.
