Cleaning and maintenance
Portable humidifiers require regular cleaning in order to reduce the risk of bacterial
growth and also to remove any scale residue to maintain good operational
performance. Follow the procedures below for healthy maintenance of your
Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier.
CAUTION!
NEVER PLUG OR UNPLUG HUMIDIFIER WITH WET HANDS.
Always be sure that the humidifier is unplugged and switched OFF
before cleaning or attempting to clean or store the item.
DO NOT leave water in water tank (p. 3, fig. A
2
) or water basin when unit is not in
use as it may result in the buildup of mineral deposits and bacteria that can inhibit
the output efficiency of the humidifier. PLEASE NOTE that if water remains in the
water tank for more than a day or two, bacterial growth is possible.
NOTE: When removing water tank, water may accumulate under vapor lid and on
the bottom of the water tank. It is recommended to have a dry cloth ready to dry
wet surfaces.
Disinfecting the water tank and water basin
1. Fill water tank with 2 tablespoons of white vinegar or bleach in a ½ gallon of
water. Let stand 20 minutes. Screw on water tank cap (p. 4, fig. 3
5
) and shake
vigorously with two hands every few minutes, drain and rinse with clean water
until the vinegar or bleach smell is gone. Dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.
2. Fill the base with water and add 2 tablespoons of white vinegar or bleach to the
water and let it soak for 20 minutes. Drain the base and rinse with cool water. Dry
with a soft cloth. DO NOT IMMERSE WATER BASIN IN WATER. An electric shock may
result or the humidifier may be damaged.
3. Wipe all exterior surfaces of the base with a damp, soft cloth.
4. It is normal for water to be in the water basin. However, water must not get inside
the central body. If this should happen, take the humidifier to an authorized
service center before using it again.
NOTE: It is recommended to clean humidifier with the water and white vinegar
solution as stated above after using the humidifier about once a week or if cleaning
seems necessary.
IMPORTANT: Failure to keep this humidifier clean from mineral deposits normally
contained in any water supply will affect the efficiency of the operation. Customer
failure to follow these instructions may void the warranty.
