Soak in lukewarm (about 40ºC or less) or room
temperature water mixed with kitchen-use neutral
detergent or baking soda for about 30 to 60 minutes,
then rinse.

Soak in lukewarm (about 40ºC or less) or room
temperature water mixed with citric acid or lemon juice
for about 2 hours, then rinse.
Usage quantity:
2 tablespoons of citric acid in 3L of water
If dirt buildup is an issue, extend the
soaking time.
• Citric acid may be purchased at a
pharmacy, drug store or super market.

lemon juice with no pulp (strain juice if necessary).
• If you squeeze a lemon, make sure there are no pieces

Precautions when cleaning humidifying fi lter unit
• Do not apply force when cleaning the humidifying fi lter.
(Deformation may result)
• Clean by scrubbing gently with a soft sponge.
• Do not use a brush or scrub forcibly.
• To prevent bad odours and discolouration, be sure to
thoroughly rinse off the parts with clean water.
(Even if discolouration results, it is not a problem for use.)
Attention
• The parts can be used even if still wet after cleaning.
• If not to be used for a prolonged period, leave the parts in a shaded area to dry off thoroughly, then attach.
• Dirt buildup varies by the usage environment of the humidifying fi lter.
It is recommended that you clean the parts if you notice an odour from the air outlet or a reduction in humidifying capacity (water usage
rate).
Do not detach
the frame.
