CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNINGS:
• Before cleaning, turn o the dehumidifier and disconnect it from the power supply. If you do not do this, you
could create the risk of electrical shock or other safety hazards.
• Do not wash the dehumidifier with water or submerge the unit in water at any time. This could cause electrical
shock or even a fire.
• Do not use harsh detergents to clean the dehumidifier at any time or else it will strip the paint and damage the
unit’s appearance.
Caring for the Outer Casing
• Make sure the unit is turned o. Wait for the fan to stop, and
then unplug it from the outlet.
• Use a soft towel that is damp—NOT wet—with warm water
and mild detergent to clean the casing. Do not use solvents
or abrasive materials.
• Use a soft, dry towel to thoroughly dry the unit after cleaning.
• In order to avoid damage, do not wash the unit with water or
let water drip into the air inlet or outlet.
• To clean the air intake vent, you should use a dust catcher or
gentle brush.
Caring for the Air Filter
• Check the filter periodically to ensure any dust is removed that
could cause airflow or performance issues. We generally
recommend cleaning the air filter every month. If you are using
the dehumidifier in a location where dust accumulates more
quickly, you will need to clean the air filter more often.
• To remove the air filter, first turn the unit o and unplug the
power cable from the outlet. Then, reach inside the opening
at the rear of the unit, grasp the top plastic edge of the air filter,
and pull straight up to remove it.
• Use warm soapy water to wash and wipe down the air filter,
making sure to rinse it and allow it to air-dry before replacing
it in the dehumidifier.
WARNINGS:
• Do not attempt to operate the dehumidifier without the filter, or else dust will accumulate on the evaporator and this
will aect the unit’s performance.
• Do not dry the air filter with fire or an electric hair-dryer, otherwise the filter could become misshapen or catch on fire.
• Do not use a dust catcher or brush to clean the air filter, as these can permanently damage the filter.
