VI. MAINTENANCE
ALWAYS turn off and unplug the dehumidifier before cleaning.
1. Cleaning the air grille and main unit
Use a damp cloth to wrap the main unit or use water and a mild detergent. Do not use bleach, chem-
icals or abrasives.
Do not splash water directly onto the unit. Doing so may cause an electrical shock, cause the insula-
tion to deteriorate, or cause the unit to rust.
Use a vacuum attachment or brush to clean the air intake and outlet grilles
2. Cleaning the bucket
Clean the bucket to prevent growth of mold, mildew and bacteria every two weeks.
Fill the bucket with clean warm water and add mild detergent to the water.
Dry thoroughly before reinserting the bucket to the main unit.
NOTE: Do not clean the bucket in a dishwasher.
3. Cleaning the air filter
To ensure the air intake is filtered properly and to assure
that your dehumidifier runs efficiently, it is recommended to
clean the air filter at least once every two weeks.
Remove the bucket and pull filter downwards
Use a vacuum cleaner or tap the filter lightly to remove
loose dust
and dirt.
Rinse the air filter under warm or cold running water
(no hotter than 100F.)
Dry thoroughly before reinserting the air filter.
Reinstall the air filter and replace bucket securely
4. End of Season Storage
After turning off the unit, wait 24 hours before emptying the bucket to allow excess moisture to drain
into the bucket.
Clean the main unit, water bucket and air filter as detailed above.
Cover the unit with the original plastic bag that came with the unit or any appropriate dust cover.
Store the unit upright in a dry, well-ventilated place.
