For safety reasons, never wash the dehumidifier using a water jet. Cleaning the cabinet · Clean the appliance using a damp cloth then dry with a dry cloth. · Never use petrol, alcohol or solvents to clean the appliance. · Never spray the appliance with insecticides or similar. These could cause the paint to flake or plastic parts to warp. Cleaning the permanent air filter Your dehumidifier is fitted with a permanent air filter. If the filter is dirty, air circulation is compromised and the efficiency of the dehumidifying and air purifying functions decreases. It is therefore good practice to clean the filter at regular intervals. The frequency depends on the duration and conditions of operation. If the unit is used constantly or on a regular basis, you are recommended to clean the filter once a week. · Remove the air filter, by pulling it as shown in fig. · Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust accumulations from the filter. If the filter is very dirty, wash in warm water and rinse several times. The temperature of the water should not exceed 40°C. After washing the filter, allow to dry completely before replacing it. Electrostatic purification filters (DEC 16) In addition to the permanent filter a second high-efficiency electrostatic filter which can capture very small particles (down to 0. 3 µm) is found on the permanent filter housing. The filter is active in all of the functions. The filter should be replaced regularly (depending on usage) fig, 4 If the appliance is not used for long periods · Unplug from the mains socket and empty the tank. · Clean and reposition the filter. · Cover the appliance so that dust does not build up.

After replacement of a fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be refitted. [. . . ]
