MAINTENENCE
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
• 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.
STORAGE
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If the machine will not be used for a long period of time, take the following steps:
1. Remove the plug from the socket and empty the water tank. Allow the water tank and the
dehumidifier to dry completely, this can take a couple of days.
2. Clean the filter and store the device in a dust-free location away from direct sunlight,
preferably covered with a sheet of plastic.
