MAINTENANCE
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
Always turn off the power and disconnect the main cable before performing maintenance procedures.
INSPECT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
•
Inspect the electrical cord for damage at regular intervals.
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
•
Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. If the device is extremely dirty, use a mild cleaning
agent or wipe the dehumidifier with a slightly damp cloth. Never spray the device with water.
CLEANING THE FILTER
When used regularly, the filter may become clogged with dust and dirt particles. The filter must be
cleaned a minimum of every two weeks (not doing so could invalidate the units’ warranty). Please use
the following steps:
•
Remove the filter.
•
Clean both sides of the filter with the end of a hoover or soapy water no hotter than 40°C. Rinse
and dry completely before inserting back into the dehumidifier.
STORAGE
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
If the machine will not be used for a long period of time, take the following steps:
1. Remove the plug from the socket and empty the water tank. Allow the water tank and the
dehumidifier to dry completely, this can take a couple of days.
2. Clean the filter and store the device in a dust-free location away from direct sunlight,
preferably covered with a sheet of plastic.
