Before cleaning be sure to unplug power cord
from outlet. Handle the dehumidifier with care.

and bacteria.
Once or twice each season, remove dust and
lint from the rear coils with a soft brush. On
models with Filter-back feature gently pry the
Filter-back from the sides of the cabinet to
expose the coils. Rinse the Filter-back in warm
water, dry thoroughly before replacing.
On units not so equipped, the filter-back may
be purchased through any Sears parts depart-
ment. Please quote part No. 3-70128-005.

contact any electrical components. Don't plug
