Tips
.
Auto is the
suggested
setting
for
typical
everyoay
use
.
Make
sure the
dehumidifier is
the correct
size
for
the area
you
want to
dehumidify.
It is not designed
to
dehumidify the
entire
house.
.
For
proper
operation,
the dehumidifier
should only
be
placed
on a level floor.
.
Close all
doors, windows
and other
open-
ings to the room.
The
dehumidifier
must
operate in an
enclosed area
to be
effective.
.
To
clean, use a soft
cloth; do not
use wax,
thinners,
or strong
detergents
as they may
change the color
of the unit or
cause
surface
damage.
.
Be
sure to replace
the bucket
properly
after emptying to
prevent
water from
collecting
on the floor
causing damage
to
some types of flooring.
.
Do not
put
a
pet
or
house
plant
where
it
will
be exposed
to direct
air
flow.
This
could
injure
the
pet
or
plant.
.
Operation without
filter
will cause
unit failure. Insert
the filter
securely.
Clean
it every two weeks.
