Care And Maintenance; Care And Cleaning Of The Dehumidifier - Arctic King MDNK-45AEN1-BA9 Instruction Manual

Care and cleaning of the dehumidifier

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.
NOTE: Do not use a dishwasher to clean the bucket.
After cleaning, the bucket must be back in place and securely
seated for the dehumidifier to operate.
3 . Clean the air filter
Remove the filter every two weeks based on normal
operating conditions.
Remove the filter from the top of the unit (see Fig. 11).
Wash the filter with clean water then dry.
Re-install the filter, and replace bucket.
CAUTION:
DO NOT operate the dehumidifier without a filter
because dirt and lint will clog it and reduce the
performance.
4 . When not using the unit for long time periods
After turning off the unit, wait one day before emptying
the bucket.
Clean the main unit, water bucket and air filter.
Wrap the cord and bundle it with the band(Fig.12) .
Cover the unit with a plastic bag.
Store the unit upright in a dry, well-ventilated place.
