4. Pull the air filter (20) out of its slot and clean it with the
brush attachment of your vacuum cleaner. If it is very soiled,
you can use a domestic washing-up liquid and clean the air

Disinfection
1. Every two weeks you should also disinfect only the fol-
lowing part of the dehumidifier after cleaning: the water
tank (15).
2. For this, use a domestic disinfectant on an alcohol base,
or high-percentage alcohol. This surface disinfectant is an
alcohol mixture that you can obtain in a spray bottle at any
chemist's. Both substances are harmless if they are rinsed
off carefully and thoroughly.
3. Wipe all the outer surfaces with a soft, dry cloth.
4. Resume using the dehumidifier as described under
„Instructions for use".
