CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Always switch OFF the dehumidifier and unplug it from the electrical outlet before
attempting any cleaning or maintenance of this product.
Appliance Maintenance:
• Switch OFF the appliance before disconnecting the power supply.
• Only use a soft cloth to clean the appliance.
Air Filter Maintenance:
The Air Filter located at the top of the unit helps to remove dust particles from the air. A dirty filter
blocked by dust particles can reduce the efficiency of the dehumidifier. For optimum dehumidification, it
is recommended to clean the air filter every 2 weeks:
1. Switch OFF the dehumidifier. Press down on the
air filter with 2 hands to release the air filter
from the top of the unit.
2. Rinse the air filter under running water, or vacuum
away the dust with a vacuum cleaner.
3. After cleaning the air filter, dry in a cool, shaded place, then carefully reinstall into the unit.
End of Season Storage & Maintenance:
If the appliance will not be used for an extended period of time:
• Switch OFF the unit and unplug from the electrical power outlet.
• Empty the water tank and let it dry. If your dehumidifier is connected to the continuous drain hose, you
must disconnect the hose, dry and then replace the drain cap and rubber stopper back into the drain
outlet.
• Remove the air filter and clean with water. Let the air filter dry and reinstall back into the unit.
• Make sure all parts of the dehumidifier and accessories are dry before storage.
• Cover the dehumidifier with a cloth/ plastic bag before storage, to protect the surface from dust and
scratches.
• It is recommended to coil the power cord and store it off the floor to ensure it is protected from bends
and kinks.
• Store the unit upright in a dry location, away from direct sunlight.
