CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Always shut off the unit and unplug it from the mains before cleaning or performing any
maintenance. When it is not in use for long periods, it is advisable to remove the plug
from the power socket. Do not use chemical solvents (such as benzene, alcohol or
gasoline) as they may cause irreversible damage to the unit.
FILTER CLEANING
The Air-inlet may gather dust easily, please clean it often with a soft,
damp cloth. If the filter is covered by dust, the airflow and the
performance of the unit will be affected, it may even cause damage to
the unit. We recommend that you regularly clean the filters. The
dehumidifier must be disconnected from the socket before
maintenance and the filters must be allowed to fully dry before re use.
1. Remove the filters from the unit, and tap the dust away.
2. Clean the carbon (Optional) and the mesh filter with a vacuum
cleaner or soft-brush.
3. If dirt and grease is accumulated wash the mesh filter in hot soapy water.
4. Replace the filters in position as shown in the diagram.
Note: Never use the unit without the antibacterial mesh dust filter. The active carbon
filter is optional and should be replaced if necessary after 1-1 ½ years of usage.
CLEAN THE GRILLE AND CASE
Use water and a mild detergent to clean the washable mesh filters.
Do not use bleach or abrasives. Do not splash water directly onto
the main unit. Doing so may cause an electrical shock and can
lead to the insulation to deteriorate, or cause the unit to rust. The
air intake and outlet grilles get soiled easily, so use a vacuum
attachment or soft brush to clean. Wipe the dehumidifier body with
a soft damp cloth or kitchen towel.
CLEAN THE WATER TANK
Every few weeks, clean the tank to prevent growth of mould, mildew and bacteria.
Partially fill the tank with clean water and add a little mild detergent. Swish it around and
than empty the tank and rinse. NOTE: Do not use a dishwasher to clean the tank. After
cleaning and drying the tank must be reinserted securely into dehumidifier in order to
restart operation.
END OF SEASON MAINTENANCE:
Empty and clean the water tank.
Clean the unit and the filters as per cleaning procedure above.
Coil the power cord on the special cord storage rest at the back of the unit.
Cover the unit and keep it in a dry place.
POWER CORD MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENT
If the power cord is damaged, it could cause a short circuit or become a fire risk. Please
avoid pulling the cord, twisting or pressing it and keep it away from pets. If the power
cord is damaged, power the unit off and unplug it immediately. Contact an electrician or
service centre for repairs; do not attempt to repair the unit yourself.
