Care and Maintenance

CLEANING
1. Be sure to unplug the unit before cleaning or servicing.
2. Do not use gasoline, paint thinner or other chemicals to clean the unit.
3. Do not wash the unit directly under a tap or using a hose. It may cause
electrical damage.
4. If the power cord is damaged, contact the service depot immediately.
1. Clean the grill 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 electric shock, cause the insulation
to deteriorate, or cause the unit to rust. The air intake and outlet grills become dirty
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 fi ll the bucket with clean water and add a small amount of 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 placed and properly positioned for
the dehumidifi er to operate.
3. Clean the air fi lter
Remove and clean the fi lter every two weeks based on normal operating conditions.
Caution: DO NOT operate the dehumidifi er without a fi lter; dirt and lint will clog
the fi lter and affect performance.
4. When not using the unit for long periods of time
After turning the unit off, wait one day before emptying the bucket. Clean the main
unit, water bucket and air fi lter. Cover the unit with a plastic bag. Wrap the cord around
the power cord buckle. Store the unit upright in a dry, well ventilated place.
