CARE AND CLEANING
Humidifiers provide comfort by adding moisture
to dry, heated indoor air. To get the most benefit
from the humidifier and to avoid product misuse,
follow all instructions carefully, specifically the
operation, care and maintenance guidelines.
Please note this is an electrical appliance and
requires attention when in use.
Cleaning your humidifier every one or two
weeks, depending on the water conditions is
important in order to maintain efficient, healthy,
odor-free operation. Water quality varies widely
and, combined with build-up of mineral scale in
your humidifier, may under certain conditions
promote the growth of micro-organisms in the
water tank.
Before cleaning, Please note the
following:
• DO NOT use soap, detergents, abrasives,
gasoline, glass or furniture polish, or boiling
water to clean any part of your Ultrasonic
Humidifier. These will interfere with the
proper operation of your unit and may affect
its appearance.
• DO NOT use sharp or metal objects to clean
mineral deposits in the reservoir. Contact
with sharp objects can result in damage to
the plastic.
• Mineral deposits should be soaked for up to
20 minutes in Bionaire™ “Clean-Away”
solution or in plain vinegar and water to help
with their removal.
• NEVER mix “Clean-Away” solution with any
other fluid!
• DO NOT clean any part of your humidifier in
the dishwasher.

1. Before cleaning, set the humidity control
switch to the Off position ( ) and unplug
the unit from the electrical outlet.
