Before each use
Inspect the electrical cord for damage. Look for
fraying, cuts, etc. Do not use the unit if you find any
damage. Call Dri-Eaz for the nearest Service Center at
800-932-3030.
Inspect and vacuum filter as needed. The i-Series
dehumidifiers are equipped with a 3M™ High Air-Flow
filter. The HAF filter may be vacuumed clean and reused
up to three times. Do not rinse or wash the HAF filter,
as it will reduce the effectiveness of the electrostatic
material.
Keep a clean filter in the unit at all times to protect
internal components from dust and other particulate
build-up. Vacuum or replace filter before each job.
Replace only with a new 3M HAF Filter (Dri-Eaz part no.
F421). For parts and service call your local distributor or
contact the Dri-Eaz Service Department at
800-932-3030 or 360-757-7776.
CAUTION: Dust can cause the unit to overheat and
shut down. Do not operate when excessive dust or
airborne particles are present, such as during
sanding or spray-painting. Inspect and clean air filter
elements and coils frequently.
IMPORTANT: Replace the HAF filter whenever 1)
it has been vacuumed clean 3 times or 2) it has
been used on a mold remediation job or
otherwise exposed to potentially dangerous
contaminants.
Monthly
Check coils. Dirty coils can cause the unit to overheat.
Clean when visibly dirty. See "Instructions for Cleaning,"
p. 8.
Check heat exchange block. Clean out with
compressed air only. Take care not to damage the block.
