CARE AND CLEANING

Your new dehumidifier is designed to give you many years of
dependable service. This section tells you how to clean and care
for your dehumidifier properly.
Cleaning the Filter
The filter is removable for easy
cleaning. A clean filter helps remove
dust, lint, and other particles from the
air and is important for best operating
efficiency. Check the filter every two
weeks to see whether it needs cleaning.
NOTE: For best performance, do not operate the dehumidifier
without the filter in place.
Rinse the filter under the faucet. If the filter is very dirty, wash it in
warm water with a mild detergent.
NOTE: Do not wash the filter in the dishwasher or use any
chemical cleaners; it may damage the filter. Air dry the filter
completely before replacing to ensure maximum efficiency.
Remove the filter
Remove the filter from back of the unit by using your thumbs to
press down on the tabs directly above the filter.
Reinstalling the filter:
1. Wait until the filter is completely dry.
2. Reinstall the filter in the dehumidifier.
3. Press the Filter button to reset the filter indicator.
Cleaning the Dehumidifier Cabinet
1. Turn off the dehumidifier.
2. Wipe the dehumidifier cabinet with a soft, damp cloth.
3. Wipe dry with soft cloth.
Cleaning the Water Bucket
The water bucket should be cleaned every few weeks to prevent
mold and mildew growth.
1. Remove the water bucket.

detergent.
