  4. Once connected, you can control the dehumidifier remotely, change modes, set humidity levels, activate the ionizer, and monitor usage.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your dehumidifier.

7.1 Cleaning the Air Filters

The dehumidifier is equipped with a mini-HEPA filter and an activated carbon filter. These should be cleaned regularly (e.g., every 2 weeks or as indicated by the filter indicator) and replaced periodically.

  1. Turn off and unplug the unit.
  2. Remove the air inlet grille (usually located at the back).
  3. Carefully remove the HEPA and activated carbon filters.
  4. Clean the filters using a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and debris. For stubborn dirt, the HEPA filter can be gently rinsed with water and allowed to air dry completely before reinstallation. The activated carbon filter should not be washed.
  5. Reinstall the dry filters and the air inlet grille.
