Basic safety precautions
CAUTION To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• To avoid possible cuts, avoid contacting the metal parts of the appliances when removing or reinstalling the filter. It can result in the risk of personal injury.
• Do not block the air inlet or outlet of the appliance. Reduced airflow will result in poor performance and could damage the unit.
• Always grasp the plug when plugging in or unplugging the appliance. Never unplug by pulling on the cord. It can result in the risk of electrical shock and damage.
• Always turn off and unplug the appliances when they will not be used for an extended period of time. This conserves energy and reduces the chance of accidents.
• Install the appliance on a sturdy, level floor capable of supporting up to 110 lbs (50 kg). Installation on a weak or unlevel floor can result in the risk of property damage and personal injury.
• Make sure the appliance is the correct size for the area you wish to dehumid. Using an appliance that is the wrong size can waste energy and damage the unit.
• Close all doors and windows to the room for the most efficient operation.
• To prevent damage to the surface finish, use only a soft cloth to clean the appliances. Do not use wax, thinner, or a strong detergent.
• To prevent spills and property damage, be sure to drain the appliance properly.
• Do not position the appliances so that pets or house plants are exposed to the direct airflow. It can result in the risk of injury to pets or house plants.
• Do not drink the water from the bucket. Dispose of it properly outdoors or down the drain.
• Do not operate the appliance without the filter securely in place. Operation without the filter could damage the unit.
• Clean the filter every two weeks, or more often if needed.
• If you do not have a properly grounded outlet, or if there is any doubt that the outlet is not properly grounded, a qualified electrician should check the outlet and circuit, and, if necessary, install a properly grounded outlet.
• This dehumidifier must be plugged into a grounded 60 Hz, 115 VAC outlet protected by a 13 amp time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.

Maintenance

• Clean the machine with a soft wet cloth.
• Pull the louver on the front panel out to access the filter.
• Remove the filter mesh out of the unit.
• Use a clean rag to adsorb the surface dust on the filter mesh. If the filter is extremely dirty, use tap water to flush and clean the filter. Fully dry the filter before putting it back into position. A clean filter will increase the machine’s capacity.

MACHINE STORAGE

If you don’t use the unit for an extended period of time, please store it per the following steps:

1. Clean the filter mesh.
   IMPORTANT: The evaporator inside the machine must dry before the unit is packed as this will avoid component damage and possible mold. Unplug the unit and place it in a dry open area for days to ensure it is completely dry. A second alternative to dry the unit is to set the humidity point more than 2% higher than the ambient humidity of the room. This will enable the fan inside the unit to dry the evaporator after a few hours of usage.

2. Neatly wind the power cord and place it at the back of the unit. (3) Store the unit in a clean, dry environment.
