F ailure to do this will reduce the perf ormance of your dehumidifier and may over time lead to a permanent reductionin performance. Remove the filter cartridge from the rear of the unit (fig c). Clean the filter using a vacuum cleaner on a low power (fig d). Replace the filter cartridge onto the rear panel. Figure a Figure b Figure c Figure d

GBUsing the Permanent Drainage Facility Your dehumidifier can be used in unattended dwellings such as holiday homes without emptying the water container. To use this facility you must order a permanent drainage kit. Should you have any queries about the drainage kit please contact our helpline on [phone] (UK only). For accessories such as the drainage kit, contact your local reseller or visit www.ebac.com Looking after your dehumidifier Your dehumidifier requires very little maintenance, however, to maximise performance clean the filter every month (replacing every 4 months) and every 6 months you should check the drainage system as follows: a. Using a standard matchstick or small plastic bottle brush remove any residue from the water drain outlet above the water container (left hand side). b. Pull out the permanent drainage bung from the rear of the unit. This should then be pushed in and out a few times to remove any build up inside the drain tray (have a cloth or other absorbent material handy to catch the water). The bung should then be pushed fully home to reseal the drain tray. Never use solvents or abrasive cleaners to clean your dehumidifier.
