Cleaning and Maintenance
The AirPlus Dehumidifier comes with a washable filter that users must clean once or twice a month. Clean water and mild soap will suffice to do the job right.

Users must also clean the water reservoir regularly to prevent mineral build-up and mold growth.
Note: We recommend avoid splashing water on the three air vents when cleaning the unit lest they cause short-circuiting inside the device. Instead, remove the air vents from the unit, clean, and reinstall them after getting completely dry.
