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 100

°

F.)

• Dry thoroughly before reinserting the air filter.

• Reinstall the air filter and replace bucket securely

• 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.
