Black & Decker BDT30 Series, Instruction Manual

Page 10

NOTE:

  When the bucket is full or removed from the unit, the compressor will turn 

off but the fan will continue to run for a few minutes. This is completely 
normal. The dehumidifier will not be removing moisture from the air at 
this time.

Over time, the dehumidifier will create a more stable humidity in the area it is 

located. 

The more moisture the dehumidifier removes from the air, the more often you 

may have to empty the bucket unless you choose to use the continuous drain 
option. The number of times the bucket will need to be emptied daily will depend 
on the dehumidifier model.

CAUTION:

  Do not place the water collection bucket on the floor when it is full as 

it is uneven on the bottom and may spill.

FILTER CLEANING

When the filter needs to be cleaned, the filter indicator light will come on (after 

approximately 250 hours of use). Remove the filter from the back of the unit by 
using your thumbs to press down on the filter tabs directly above the filter. 

Clean the filter with warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly before putting back 

in place. Once filter is back in the unit, press the FILTER button to reset the filter 
indicator.

CAUTION:

  Do not clean the filter in a dishwasher. Do not operate the humidifier 

without the included filter in place.
