Care, Cleaning
& Storage
Before cleaning, ensure the power is switched
off and then remove the power plug from the
power outlet.
BREVILLE RECOMMENDS
•
Only use cold water or distilled water in
the water tank.
•
Change the water often to keep it fresh.
•
Clean the transducer, water tank and water
basin at a minimum of once every week when
in constant use.
•
Use a small brush or a cotton swab to assist
with cleaning the transducer and basin.
Never use metal or sharp objects.
•
After cleaning, ensure all parts are completely
dry before using the humidifier.
NOTE
Clean the
whole humidifier and make sure that
all parts are dried completely. Do not immerse
the unit in water. Clean the transducer, water
tank and basin at least once a week.
IMPORTANT
If you do not use the humidifier for a long time,
clean and dry the water tank and the water
purification filter, and all parts before storage.
WARNING
Do not use chemicals, steel wool, metal
scouring pad or abrasive cleaners to clean the
outside of the humidifier housing as these may
damage the humidifier.
IMPORTANT
Cleaning procedures must be routinely
followed to ensure that the humidifier
continues to operate efficiently. Do not use
the humidifier unless it has been cleaned
according to instructions.
TO CLEAN EXTERNAL PARTS
•
Use a clean, dry cloth to clean all external
surfaces of the humidifier.
•
A soft, slightly-damp cloth may be used to
wipe the external housing of the humidifier if
more thorough cleaning is required. Never use
chemical substances or scourers as this could
damage the housing and the control panel.
•
Dry thoroughly before storing or using
the humidifier.
TO CLEAN INTERNAL PARTS
In cases when the water is hard (where water
contains too much calcium and magnesium),
leave heavy scale on the surface of the water
basin, transducer and inner surface of the water
tank. Scale, or calcification, on the surface of
transducer will reduce the reliability of the
unit. To clean internal parts of the humidifier,
create a cleaning solution of 1-part vinegar to
1-part water.
WATER TANK
•
It is important to clean the water tank regularly
and ensure it is dry before reassembling and
using the humidifier.
•
To clean, create a vinegar and water solution
enough to fill the tank about half way. Swish
the solution around for a minute, then fill the
rest of the tank up with tap water. Leave to sit
for 1–2 hours, or even overnight.
•
Empty and rinse well with clean water.
NOTE
To assist with emptying all the water from the
water tank, it may help to slightly shake the tank
over a sink or drain.
