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.
Air Filter
The air filter is on the back of the dehumidifier.
It 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.
CAUTION: DO NOT operate the dehumidifier without
the filter because dirt and lint will clog it and reduce
performance.
To remove:
Flex the filter at the lower right corner and
slide the upper right side to the left. Release
all of the tabs and remove the filter. Wash it in
warm soapy water. Rinse and let the filter dry
before replacing it.
To replace:
Hold the filter with the middle tab at the top and
place the bottom of the filter in the filter hook.
Slide the side filter tabs into the side slots and press
the other three tabs into their slots.
NOTE: Avoid using a dishwasher to clean the filter.
Cleaning the Coil
After removing the air filter, clean the coil
with a soft brush when the soil is soft and wet.
NOTE: Do not allow water to enter the
electrical/machine compartment through
the circular opening behind the coil.
Do not spray the coil with a hose.
Water Bucket
Every few weeks, rinse the inside of the water
bucket with a mild detergent to prevent growth
of mold, mildew and bacteria.
NOTE: Avoid using a dishwasher to clean the
water bucket.
