CARE & MAINTENANCE:
IMPORTANT: Turn the dehumidier o and remove the plug
from the wall outlet before cleaning.
CLEANING 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 deteri-
orate, or cause the unit to rust.
• The air intake and outlet grilles get soiled easily, so use a
vacuum attachment or brush to clean.
CLEANING THE RESERVOIR:
Every few weeks, clean the reservoir to prevent growth of
mold, mildew and bacteria. Partially ll the reservoir with
clean water and add a little mild detergent. Swish it around in
the reservoir, empty and rinse.
NOTE: Do not use a dishwasher to clean the reservoir. After
cleaning, the reservoir must be in place and securely seated
for the dehumidier to operate.
CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
• Remove the lter every two weeks based on normal operat-
ing conditions.
• Remove the lter from the top of the unit (Figure 1) or to
remove the lter, remove reservoir then pull lter
downwards (Figure 2).
• Wash the lter with clean water then dry. Re-install the lter,
replace the reservoir.
CAUTION: DO NOT operate the dehumidier without a lter
because dirt and lint will clog it and reduce performance.
BEFORE STORING OR NOT USING A UNIT
FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME:
• After turning o the unit, wait one day before emptying the
reservoir.
• Clean the main unit, water reservoir and air lter.
