The silver coating is designed to kill bacteria in the air and control the growth of microbes, such as viruses, fungi and spores.
WATER DRAINAGE INSTRUCTIONS Using a portable dehumidifier requires that collected water be emptied frequently. Draining water from this unit can be done in 2 different methods: 1. DRAIN BUCKET METHOD 1. The drain bucket can hold up to 10 pints of water. When the bucket is full, the compressor and fan will turn off, the Water Full indicator will illuminate, and a P2 code will be displayed.
WATER DRAINAGE INSTRUCTIONS 2. CONTINUOUS / GRAVITY DRAIN METHOD Water can be automatically emptied into a floor drain by attaching the 20” continuous/gravity drain hose to the con- tinuous/gravity drain outlet. To use gravity to drain your portable dehumidifier, it must be installed on a level surface or at least 12 inches above the ground, on a sturdy table or shelf unit.
MAINTENANCE Always turn off and unplug the dehumidifier before cleaning. 1. Cleaning the air grille and main unit Use a damp cloth to wrap the main unit or use water and a mild detergent. Do not use bleach, chemicals or abrasives.
