WARNING! First of all switch off the unit and pull the plug out of the wall socket.
Housing
Clean the housing with a soft, damp cloth and dry when clean. Never use chemically treated
cloths, alcohol or any other product containing solvents as this may cause damage to the
housing.
Air filter
This dehumidifier is equipped with a washable anti-dust filter and an odour absorbing active
carbon filter. These will capture larger airborne particles like dust, smoke and animal dander,
creating a less irritating living environment.
Regular cleaning of the filter (once a month and after storage) prevents the build up of dust,
that may block the air flow and reduce the efficient operation of the dehumidifier.
• Remove the water container.
• Pull out the filter holder.
• Remove the black carbon filter and use a vacuum cleaner or tap the filter lightly to clean.
Replace this filter if it is very dirty. Never wash the carbon filter.
• Clean the plastic filter mesh with lukewarm water and a small amount of medium strength
detergent. Rinse thoroughly with cold water. Make sure that the air filter is completely dry
before putting it back. Do not forget to replace the carbon filter after cleaning.
NOTE! Do not expose the filter to sunlight or other sources of direct heat as this may cause
the filter and frame to warp. Never use the dehumidifier without the air filter.
CLEANING
If the dehumidifier is not used for long periods of time, follow these steps:
• disconnect the unit and wrap the power cable.
• if used, empty the water container.
• clean the unit and filter, pack it in its original packaging or cover to protect
against dust.
• store the unit in an upright position in a cool, dry place away from access by children.
