CARE AND MAINTENANCE
10
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, the insulation to deteriorate, or the unit
to rust.
● The air intake and outlet grilles get soiled easily; 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. To clean the bucket, partially fill it with clean
water and add a little mild detergent. Swish it around in the bucket,
empty and rinse.
NOTES:
▪ Do not use a dishwasher to clean the bucket.
▪ After cleaning, the bucket must be securely in place for the
dehumidifier to operate.
3. Clean the air filter.
● Remove the filter every two weeks (based on normal
operating conditions).
● Remove the filter from the top of the unit (See Fig. 17) or remove
the bucket and pull the filter downwards (See Fig. 18).
● Wash the filter with clean water. Dry the filter completely in a cool,
dry place.
● Re-install the filter. If you have removed the bucket, place it back
into its proper position.
CAUTION: DO NOT operate the dehumidifier without a filter as
dirt and lint will clog the unit and reduce performance.
When not using the unit for long periods of time.
● After turning off the unit, wait one day before emptying the bucket.
This allows any water inside the unit enough time to drain into the
bucket before you pack up the unit for storage.
● Clean the main unit, water bucket and air filter. Dry all pieces
completely.
● Wrap the cord and bundle it with the band. (See Fig. 19.)
● Cover the unit with a plastic bag.
● Store the unit
upright in a dry, well-ventilated place.
Turn the dehumidifier off and remove the plug from the wall outlet before cleaning.
