Care and cleaning of the dehumidifier. ge.com
Turn the dehumidifier off 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.
If cabinet paint chips, you can touch it up with
a good grade enamel paint to prevent rust.
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 any water out.
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 30 days or
more often if necessary.
NOTE: DO NOT rinse or put the filter in an automatic
dishwasher.
To remove:
Grasp the filter edge and pull it out the side.
Clean the filter with warm, soapy water. Rinse and
let the filter dry before replacing it. Do not clean
the filter in a dishwasher.
CAUTION: DO NOT operate the dehumidifier
without a filter because dirt and lint will clog it and reduce
performance.
NOTE: Avoid using a dishwasher to clean the filter.
