CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE – General
Over time, dust can accumulate in the grids and between the fins in the appliance.

1. Switch off the appliance and unplug it.
2. Remove the dust from the grids and louvers with a hand brush and/or vacuum cleaner.
3. Clean the housing with a soft, damp cloth. Then dry it thoroughly with a dry cloth. Never immerse the appliance in the water! Make sure that no moisture gets into the electrical connections.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE – Water drainage
The device is equipped with an internal water collector. When it is full, the appliance stops working and the indicator light on the control panel lights up to “FULL“.

1. Switch off the appliance and unplug it.
2. Place the appliance on a platform and place a bucket or other type of container under the drainage hole of the water collector.
3. Unscrew the rubber cap from the drainage hole (figure 1-8), see also figure 5. The water flows from the water collector into the bucket.
4. When the water collector is empty, put the rubber cap back into the drain hole and make sure it is tightly closed.

ATTENTION:

• Move the appliance carefully and always vertically to prevent water from leaking over the edge of the internal water collector. When emptying, you can tilt the appliance slightly to get the last water out of the water collector.
• If the bucket or other type of container cannot collect all the water at once, replace the rubber cap of the drainage hole in the meantime. Empty the bucket and repeat the steps.

Continuous drainage
If you frequently use the device to dehumidify or cool air, you can also use continuous discharge.

1. Switch off the appliance and unplug it.
2. Unscrew the rubber cap from the continuous drain hole (figure 1-10), see also figure 6.
3. Connect a drain hose (not included) to the drain hole (16 mm, figure 6) and make sure the end of the hose ends in a drain, bucket or another type of receptacle.
4. Use the device as indicated in this manual.

Cleaning and maintenance – Clean the filter
For optimal results, you should clean the 2 filters every two weeks and replace them at least once a year, or more often if the filter is visibly closed. Also, clean the filter before storing the appliance for extended periods of non-use or when returning it to use after a longer period of time.

1. Switch off the appliance and unplug it.
2. Remove the filters at the top and bottom rear of the appliance (Figure 7).
3. Rinse the filters with lukewarm water or soak them in warm soapy water.
4. Let the filters dry thoroughly.
5. Place the cleaned (or new) filters back into the device.

ATTENTION:

• If the filters are not properly dried, water can get into the device. This can cause (electrical) damage.
