a soft brush or vacuum cleaner. In order to clean the interior cooling ribs, remove
the cover on the air outlet opening , and pull the water tank 7out of the
appliance. Also clean the cooling ribs with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner.

* The lower the room temperature and the colder the external temperature, the
lower the moisture content stored in the air will be. Air then flows from outside
into the room to be dehumidified. For this reason, dehumidifying performance
decreases with decreasing temperature, and can drop to zero. This does not
indicate a defect of the appliance.
