Turn the dehumidifier off and remove the plug from the wall outlet before cleaning.
1. 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.
2. 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.
" After cleaning, the bucket must be in place and securely seated for the dehumidifier
to operate.
NOTE: Do not place the bucket in an automatic dishwasher to clean it.
3. Clean the air filter
* Remove the filter every two weeks based
on normal operating conditions,
* Remove bucket then pull filter downwards
(See Fig. 11).
* Wash the filter with clean water then dry.
* Re-install the filter.
CAUTION: DO NOT operate the dehumidifier
without a filter because dirt and lint will clog
it and reduce performance. Figure11
4. When not using the unit for long
periods of time:
* After turning the unit off, wait one day before
emptying the bucket so that all the water will
drain from the unit, and totally dry out.
* Clean the main unit, water bucket and
air filter.
* Wrap the cord and bundle it with the
band (Fig.12).
" Store the unit upright in a dry,
well-ventilated place. Figure12
