3. Clean the air filter
The air filter behind the front grille should be checked and
cleaned at least every two weeks or more often if necessary.
NOTE: DO NOT RINSE OR PUT THE FILTER IN AN
AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER.
To remove:
● Grip the tab on the filter and pull it upward, then pull it out as
shown in Fig.8.
● 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. See
Fig.10.
CAUTION:
DO NOT operate the dehumidifier without a filter because dirt
and lint will clog it and reduce performance.
NOTE: The cabinet and front may be dusted with an oil-free cloth
or washed with a cloth dampened in a solution of warm water and
mild liquid dishwashing detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
Never use harsh cleansers, wax or polish on the cabinet front. Be
sure to wring excess water from the cloth before wiping around
the controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause
damage to the unit.
