• If water enters the product, turn off the
dehumidifier’s power switch, then unplug
the unit. Do not plug in unit until it has been
inspected by an authorized repair service.

cause unit to fail or to operate inefficiently.
• Do not remove plug from outlet by pulling

Tips
• Make sure the dehumidifier is the correct
size for the area you want to dehumidify.
It is not designed to dehumidify the entire
house.
• For proper operation, the dehumidifier
should only be placed on a level floor.
• Close all doors, windows and other open­
ings to the room. The dehumidifier must
operate in an enclosed area to be effective.
• To clean, use a soft cloth; do not use wax,
thinners, or strong detergents as they may
change the color of the unit or cause
surface damage.
• Be sure to replace the bucket properly
after emptying to prevent water from
collecting on the floor causing damage to
some types of flooring.
• Do not put a pet or house plant where it
will be exposed to direct air flow. This could
injure the pet or plant.
• Operation without filter will cause
unit failure. Insert the filter securely. Clean
it every two weeks. (See Care and Maintenance
