DESCALING
• Depending on usage and water type, cleaning to remove scale may be required weekly or every
other week to optimize unit performance.
• If you live in a hard water area, we recommend the use of distilled water for your humidifier. This will
help reduce the precipitation of minerals or ‘white dust’.
• Do not clean the unit or water tank with detergents or cleaning chemicals of any kind.

2. Remove the tank and empty all water from unit base and tank.
3. Locate the ultrasonic disk on the inside center of the base unit.
4. Use ONLY the enclosed cleaning brush to gently clean disk
and remove build up and deposits.
Do not scrub or scrape the ultrasonic disk.
If scale becomes difficult to remove with brush:
1. Fill the Base with: mixture of 1 tsp white vinegar
and 1 tsp water.
2. Let solution stand for 5 minutes.
3. With the vinegar in the Base, clean all interior surfaces
with a soft cloth or brush to help remove scale.
4. Also check mist nozzle and mist tube in water tank. Clean as needed.
