Care and Cleaning
Turn the dehumidifier off and remove the plug from the wall outlet before cleaning.
1. Clean the vent and case
• Use water and a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or abrasives.
• Do not splash water directly onto the main unit. Doing so may cause an electric shock,
cause the insulation to deteriorate, or cause the unit to rust.
• The air intake and outlet vents get soiled easily, so use a vacuum attachment or brush
to clean.
2. Clean the reservoir
• Every few weeks, clean the reservoir to prevent growth of mold, mildew and bacteria.
Partially fill the reservoir with clean water and add a little mild detergent. Swish it around
in the reservoir, empty and rinse.
NOTE: Do not clean the reservoir in a dishwasher.
3. Clean the air filter
• Remove the filter every two weeks based on normal operating conditions.
• Remove the filter from the top of the unit (See illustration), or remove the
reservoir and then pull filter downward (See illustration).
• Wash the filter with clean water and let air dry.
• Re-install the filter and replace reservoir.
CAUTION: DO NOT operate the dehumidifier without a filter because dirt and
lint will clog it, reducing performance.
4. When Not Using Unit for Long Periods of Time
• After turning off the unit, wait one day before emptying the reservoir so
that any moisture trapped in the unit will drip into the reservoir.
• Clean the main unit, water reservoir and air filter.
• Wrap the cord and bundle it with the band (See illustration).
• Cover the unit with a plastic bag.
• Store the unit upright in a dry, well-ventilated place.
Troubleshooting Guide
Unit does not start
• Make sure the dehumidifier’s plug is secured entirely into the outlet.
• Check your home fuse/circuit breaker box.
• Dehumidifier has reached its preset level or reservoir is full.
• Water reservoir is not in the proper position.
Dehumidifier does not dry the air as it should
• Allow enough time to remove the moisture.
• Make sure there are no curtains, blinds or furniture blocking the front or back of
the dehumidifier.
• The humidity control may not be set low enough.
• Check that all doors, windows and other openings are securely closed.
• Room temperature is too low, below 41°F (5°C).
• There is a kerosene heater or something giving off water vapor in the room.
