AIR FILTER
The air filter should be
checked regularly. Operating
the dehumidifier with a
clogged filter will reduce
efficiency. To access the
filter, slide the filter frame up
until it clears the dehumidifier
cabinet. (See Figure 6) Reverse
procedure to reinstall the filter
into the dehumidifier. Metal
filters should be washed with
soap and water, and paper filters should be replaced.
Paper filter size is a nominal 12 x 12 x 1".
NOTE: Only supports filters with a MERV
rating of 1-4.
WARNING! Operating the unit without the filter
in place will cause reduced efficiency (due
to dirty coils) and increase the frequency of
internal coil cleaning.
STACKING
Dehumidifiers can be
stacked on top of each other.
(See Figure 7) The wheels
from the upper unit must be
resting in the cradle of the
lower unit. Do not stack more
than two high.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
WARNING! Disconnect power supply before
replacing battery. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in death, fire or electrical
shock.
Disconnect dehumidifier from power supply. The hour
meter uses a battery backup for display when the
dehumidifier is unplugged and the hour button is
depressed. To change the battery, it is necessary to
remove the four screws from the control panel. Disconnect
the old battery and replace with new battery.

CLEANING
WARNING! Disconnect power supply before
Figure 6
cleaning. Failure to follow these instructions
can result in death, fire or electrical shock.
EXTERNAL CLEANING
Use a non-flammable mild, non-abrasive soap and
water solution. Wipe dry.
INTERNAL CLEANING
Disconnect dehumidifier from power supply.
Light cleaning: Remove the air filter and spray
evaporator coil with water.
Heavy cleaning: Remove two upper screws from front
hood. Open hood. Spray water at coils. Close hood
and replace screws. (See Figure 8)
NOTE: Care must be taken to ensure coil fins
are not damaged, as damaged fins can
restrict airflow and reduce the unit's ability to
produce water.
Figure 7
STORAGE
Freezing temperatures and biological growth must be
considered before storing the dehumidifier. To prevent
biological growth, spray an evaporator cleaner on
the coils and rinse into the drainage system. You must
also purge the excess liquid from the pump using the
manual purge function to prevent issues with freezing
storage environments.
