NOTE: Turn the dehumidifi er off and remove the plug from the wall outlet before cleaning.
1. Clean the Grill 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 electrical shock,
cause the insulation to deteriorate, or cause the unit to rust.
The air intake and outlet grilles become dirty easily, so use a vacuum
attachment or brush to clean.

Every few weeks, clean the bucket to prevent growth of mold, mildew and
bacteria. Partially fi ll the bucket with clean water and add a little mild detergent.

Do not use a dishwasher to clean the bucket. After cleaning, the bucket
must be in place and securely seated for the dehumidifi er to operate.

conditions.
