CARE AND MAINTENANCE WARNING: Turn the dehumidifier off and remove the plug from the wall outlet before maintenance or cleaning. • DO NOT use flammable liquids or chemicals to clean the unit. • DO NOT immerse in or spray with water to clean. • DO NOT operate the unit if the power cord is damaged. • The water bucket should be cleaned every few weeks or as needed. DO NOT leave water in the bucket when unit is not being used. Clean the Air Filters Clean the air filter with water at least once every 30 days, or as needed. The filter can be taken out by removing the water bucket and pulling the filter down from behind the grill. Figure 10 CAUTION: DO NOT operate the dehumidifier without the filter as dirt, dust and lint will clog it and reduce performance. STORAGE To store the dehumidifier for long periods, turn off and unplug the unit, then allow it to sit for one day before emptying the water bucket or removing drain hose to ensure complete water drainage. Wipe down the exterior of the unit, and clean the water bucket and filter. Wrap the cord up with the power cord band on the rear of the unit.
