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
clean, the bucket must be 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.
● To remove the filter, pull filter outwards (See Fig.14).
● Wash the filter with clean water then dry.
● Re-install the filter, replace Bucket.
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 mildliquid 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.
