CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Care and cleaning of the dehumidifier
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.
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.
3. Clean the air filter
The air filter behind the front grille should be
checked and cleaned at least every 30 days
or more often if necessary.
NOTE: DO NOT RINSE OR PUT THE FILTER
IN AN AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER.
To remove:
Pull the water bucket out as shown in Fig.10.
Grip the tab on the filter and press them in slightly
to take them out from the filter holder,then pull out
the filter downward.(see Fig.11~13).
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 filter into the unit,then press the tab in on
the filter slightly and push the filter upward.(See
Fig.14 and Fig.15).
CAUTION:
DO NOT operate the dehumidifier without a filter
because dirt and lint will clog it and reduce performance.
4. When not using the unit for long time periods
After turning off the unit, wait one day before emptying
the bucket.
Clean the main unit, bucket and air filter.
Wrap the cord and bundle it with the band(see Fig.16).
Cover the unit with a plastic bag.
Store the unit upright in a dry, well-ventilated place.
NOTE: You should loose the screw on the cover of the
bucket before clean it and then install it back.
