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.

 Do not splash water directly onto the unit. Doing so may cause an electrical shock, cause the insulation

to deteriorate, or cause the unit to rust.

 Use a vacuum attachment or brush to clean the air intake and outlet grilles.

2. Cleaning the bucket

 Clean the bucket to prevent growth of mold, mildew and bacteria every two weeks.

 Fill the bucket with clean warm water and add mild detergent to the water.

 Dry thoroughly before reinserting the bucket to the main unit.

NOTE: Do not clean the bucket in a dishwasher.

3. Cleaning the air filter

To ensure the air intake is filtered properly and to assure that your dehumidifier runs efficiently, it is rec-

ommended to clean the air filter at least once every two weeks.

 Use a vacuum cleaner or tap the filter lightly to remove loose dust and dirt.

 Rinse the air filter under warm or cold running water (no hotter than 100F.)

 Dry thoroughly before reinserting the air filter.

 Reinstall the air filter and replace bucket securely.

4. End of Season Storage

 After turning off the unit, wait 24 hours before emptying the bucket to

allow excess moisture to drain into the bucket.

 Clean the main unit, drain bucket and air filter as detailed above.

 Cover the unit with the original plastic bag that came with the unit or

any appropriate dust cover.

 Store the unit upright in a dry, well-ventilated place.
