aintenance
Always remove the plug from the power socket before performing any cleaning or
maintenance operations. For safety reasons, never wash the dehumidifier using a water jet.

leaning the cabinet
• Clean the appliance using a damp cloth then dry with a dry cloth.
• Never use petrol, alcohol or solvents to clean the appliance.
• Never spray the appliance with insecticides or similar. These could cause the paint to flake or
plastic parts to warp.
C
leaning the air filter
If the filter is dirty, air circulation is compromised and the efficiency of the dehumidifying and
air filtration functions decreases. It is therefore good practice to clean the filter at regular
intervals. The frequency depends on the duration and conditions of operation. If the unit is
used constantly or systematically, you are recommended to clean the filter once a week.
• To remove the air filter, extract by pulling it as shown in fig. 4.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust accumulations from
the filter. If the filter is very dirty, wash in warm water and rinse
several times. The temperature of the water should not
exceed 104°F (40˚C). After washing the filter, allow to dry
completely before putting it back in the appliance.
I

• Unplug from the main socket.
