CLEANING AND CARE
Turn the dehumidifier off and remove the plug from the wall outlet
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 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.
Cleaning 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 in the tank, empty and rinse.
NOTE: Do not use a dishwasher to clean the tank. After clean, the
tank must be in place and securely seated for the dehumidifier to
operate.
When not using the unit for long time periods
• After turning off the unit, wait 24 hours before emptying the
drawer.
• Clean the main unit, drawer and air filter.
• Wrap the cord and bundle it with the band and cover the unit with
a plastic bag.
• Store the unit upright in a dry, well-ventilated place.
