dehumidifier. Call your local authorized dealer for an annual cleaning of the dehumidifier.
Cleaning the Air Filter (on some models)

remove dust, lint, and other particles from the air and is important
for best operating efficiency. Check the filter every 2 weeks to
see whether it needs cleaning.

3. Pull filter down from below front louvers.
4. Pull bottom edge of air filter toward you to clear the bottom of
the dehumidifier.

wash it in warm water with a mild detergent. Do not wash air
filter in the dishwasher or use any chemical cleaners. Air dry
filter completely before replacing to ensure maximum
efficiency.
