Clean filter
lf the filter is dirty, air circulation is compromised and the efficiency of the dehumidifying
decreases. lt is therefore good practice to clean the filter at regular intervals. The
frequency depends on the duration and conditions of operation.
lf the unit is used constantly or systematically, you are recommended to clean the filter
once a week.
The filter is housed in the intake grille as below.
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust accumulations from the filter. lf it is very dirty,
immerse in warm water and rinse a number of times. The water should never be hotter
than 40 ° C. After washing, leave the filter to dry then attach the intake grille to the unit.
CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE DEHUMIDIFIER WIHOUT THE FILTER
NOTE: Do not clean filter in dishwasher
