Air Filter
The air filter is on the back of the dehumidifier.
It should be checked and cleaned at least every 30 days or more often if necessary.
NOTE: DO NOT rinse or put the filter in an automatic dishwasher.
CAUTION: DO NOT operate the dehumidifier without the filter because dirt and lint will clog it and reduce
performance.
NOTE: Avoid using a dishwasher to clean the filter.
To remove:
Flex the filter at the lower right corner and slide the upper right side to the left. Release all of the tabs and remove the filter. Wash it in warm soapy water. Rinse and let the filter dry before replacing it.
To replace:
Hold the filter with the middle tab at the top and place the bottom of the filter in the filter hook. Slide the side filter tabs into the side slots and press the other three tabs into their slots.
Cleaning the Coil
After removing the air filter, clean the coil with a soft brush when the soil is soft and wet.
NOTE: Do not allow water to enter the electrical/machine compartment through the circular opening behind the coil.
Do not spray the coil with a hose.
Water Bucket
Every few weeks, rinse the inside of the water bucket with a mild detergent to prevent growth of mold, mildew and bacteria.
NOTE: Avoid using a dishwasher to clean the water bucket.
