Maintenance
Clean the dehumidifier and filters regularly to maintain performance and
efficiency, and prolong the unit’s life. Be sure to always unplug the
dehumidifier from the power outlet before cleaning.
Use a soft dry cloth to wipe the body clean. If necessary, use lukewarm
water to dampen a cloth to clean the unit. Use a soft bristle brush and
vacuum cleaner to clean between the air intake and exhaust vents.
Never use abrasive chemicals, volatile substances, gasoline, detergents,
chemically treated cloths, or other cleaning solvents that may damage the
cabinet exterior.
Never spray water directly on the unit.
Clean the pre-filter periodically to prolong the unit’s life, and keep the unit
running efficiently. Lint, dust, and dirt can clog the unit and reduce its
performance and effectiveness. If the unit is used in a dusty environment
you may need to clean it on a weekly basis.
To clean the pre-filter, follow the steps below:
1) Power off the unit and remove the pre-filter.
2) Use a vacuum cleaner or tap the filter lightly to remove loose dust and
dirt, then rinse thoroughly under lukewarm running water (below 104°F).
You may use a mild soap and water solution if needed. Allow the pre-filter
to air dry in a cool and shaded place. Dry thoroughly before reinstalling.
3) Reinsert the pre-filter.
Warning: Never operate the unit without the air filter.
Wash the water bucket frequently to prevent the growth of bacteria,
mildew and mold.
To clean the water bucket, follow the steps below:
