Care and cleaning of the dehumidifierTurn off the dehumidifier
and remove the plug from the wall outlet before cleaning.
1. Clean the Grille and Case
- Use water and a mild detergent.
- Do not use bleach or abrasives.
- Do not splash water directly onto the main unit. Doing so
may cause an electrical shock, cause the insulation to
deteriorate, or cause the unit to rust.
- The air intake and outlet grilles get soiled easily, so use a
vacuum attachment or brush to clean.
2. Clean the bucket
Every few weeks, clean the bucket to prevent growth of mold,
mildew and bacteria. Partially fill the bucket with clean water
and add a little mild detergent. Swish it around in the bucket,
empty and rinse.
NOTE:
Do not use a dishwasher to clean the bucket. After
clean, the bucket must be in place and securely seated for
the dehumidifier to operate.
3. Clean the air filter
The air filter behind the front grille should be checked and
cleaned at least every 30 days or more often if necessary.
NOTE: DO NOT RINSE OR PUT THE FILTER IN AN AUTOMATIC
DISHWASHER.
To remove:
- Pull the water bucket out as shown in Fig.10.
- Grip the tab on the filter and press them in slightly to take
them out from the filter holder, and then pull out the filter
downward. (See Fig.11~13).
- Clean the filter with warm, soapy water. Rinse and let the
filter dry before replacing it. Do not clean the filter in a
dishwasher.
To attach:
- Insert the filter into the unit, then press the tab in on the
filter slightly and push the filter upward. (See Fig.14 and
Fig.15).
CAUTION:
DO NOT
operate the dehumidifier without a filter because dirt
and lint will clog it and reduce performance.
4. When not using the unit for long time periods
- After turning off the unit, wait one day before emptying the
bucket.
- Clean the main unit, bucket and air filter. Wrap the cord and
bundle it with the band (see Fig.16).
- Cover the unit with a plastic bag.
- Store the unit upright in a dry, well-ventilated place.
