Care and Maintenance

WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard Always disconnect power supply cord from outlet before performing any maintenance. Failure to follow the below precautions could result in the electrical shock or personal injuries.

aintenance

Your dehumidifier is designed to serve you year-round. Listed below are the care and maintenance instructions
leaning the Front Panel and Cabinet
Using a soft cloth, clean the front panel and cabinet with warm water and a mild soap or detergent. NOTE: Never sprinkle water into the appliance in order to prevent risk of shortcircuit and fire. Never use gasoline, thinner or any other similar chemicals for cleaning. Do not use bleach or abrasives.

leaning the Air Filter

If the filter is dirty, air circulation is compromised and the efficiency of the dehumidifying decreases. It is therefore good practice to clean the filter at regular intervals. The frequency depends on the duration and conditions of operation. To remove the air filter, pull it out (Fig. 6). 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. After washing the filter, allow it to dry completely before replacing it.

Dehumidifiers

Dehumidifiers are frequently used in basements to control dampness and in upstairs areas where moisture from everyday living cannot leak to the outdoors through the house envelope or is not mechanically ventilated to the outdoors. Cooking, laundry, showers and dishwashing by a family of four release up to 80 litres of water into the air each week, most of which must be removed by dehumidification if it cannot be removed otherwise. It is important to find the source of any excess moisture and correct any problem, because the resulting mould and mildew may pose health risks and damage the house. A wet basement, for instance, may be evidence of foundation cracks or drainage problems. Windows with excessive condensation may be a symptom of poor ventilation. Renovated and new homes may suffer high humidity problems due to moisture in the building materials. In fact, moisture problems are common in todays wellinsulated homes, which trap in moisture as they keep in heat. Portable dehumidifiers are ideal for addressing minor moisture problems, but they are not an alternative for proper ventilation, such as air-to-air heat exchangers and heat- and energy-recovery ventilators that are common in modern homes and are standard new-home equipment in some jurisdictions. Talk to an HVAC (heating, ventilating and air-conditioning) specialist to determine what is best for your home. This directory lists only ENERGY STAR qualified portable plug-in models that can be easily moved to areas of greatest need. EnerGuide labels are not required for dehumidifiers. ENERGY STAR qualified products, however, will continue to be voluntarily labelled with the ENERGY STAR symbol.

dehumidifiers

Use the following table when selecting a standard-capacity dehumidifier for residential use:
Humidity conditions* Area to be dehumidified
(moisture accumulation per day) (litres) Dampm2 (500 sq. ft.) 93 m2 (1000 sq. ft.) 139 m (1500 sq. ft.)

D amp An area that feels damp and where a musty odour prevails, especially in humid weather. Damp spots may appear on the walls and floor. W et The space feels and smells wet, walls or floor sweat, or seepage is present. Very wet Walls sweat, and the floor is almost always wet.
*f capacity is not measured in metric units, remember that two pints are I equivalent to approximately one litre.
ENERGY STAR qualified dehumidifiers
A dehumidifier energy factor (EF) is related to the water removal capacity of the unit. The higher the EF, the more energy efficient the unit. To qualify for ENERGY STAR, a dehumidifier must have an EF of 1.20 to 2.50, depending on its water removal capacity.
See the following table for the ENERGY STAR qualifying levels.
