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
The filter is a life-long filter which should not need to be replaced (other than for wear and tear reasons).
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 (it can be found inside the fitted filter frame).
•
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.
REPLACING THE HEPA FILTER
The HEPA filter is not life-long and must be replaced when the colour changes from white to grey (it
depends on the environment the dehumidifier is being used in, but the HEPA filter will need replacing
roughly every 3 months). The HEPA filter can be hoovered every so often in order to remove any dust
or dirt.
Using a HEPA filter is optional. The dehumidifier can be used without the HEPA filter, this means it will
just dehumidify the air and not purify it.
Replacement HEPA filters can be purchased from www.meaco.com.
