GEAppliances.com
Turn off the dehumidifier and remove the plug from the wall outlet before cleaning.
Grille and Case
To clean the case:
Use water and a mild detergent. Do not use
bleach or abrasives.
To clean the front grille:
Use a vacuum attachment or brush.
Water Bucket
To clean:
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
water bucket.
To remove:
Remove the bucket and pour out any water.
To replace:
Slide the bucket into the dehumidifier.
NOTE: The bucket must be in place and securely seated
for the dehumidifier to operate.
Air Filter
The air filter behind the front grille should
be checked and cleaned at least every 250 hours
of operation or more often if necessary.
After 250 hours of operation, the Clean the Filter
indicator light will glow to remind you to clean the
filter. Remove the filter and clean it. Replace the filter
and press the Filter Timer pad to turn off the Clean the
Filter
light.
To remove:
Remove the bucket. Grasp the filter edge, and pull it
straight down and out.
To clean:
Clean the filter with warm, soapy water. Rinse
and let the filter dry before replacing it.
NOTE: DO NOT rinse or put the filter in an automatic
dishwasher.
CAUTION:
NOTE: Avoid using a dishwasher to clean the filter.
DO NOT operate the dehumidifier without a filter because
dirt and lint will clog it and reduce performance.
