Care and cleaning of the dehumidifier
Turn the dehumidifier off and remove the plug from the wall outlet before cleaning.
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.
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.
Clean the air filter
The air filter behind the front grille should be checked and cleaned at least every two weeks or
more often if necessary.
NOTE: DO NOT RINSE OR PUT THE FILTER IN AN AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER.
To remove:
· Grip the tab on the filter and pull it outward,
then pull it up.
· Clean the filter with warm, soapy water. Rinse
and let the filter dry before replacing it. Do not
clean the filter in a dishwasher.
To attach:
· Insert the air filter into the unit from underside
to upside.
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.
