Disinfecting Instructions
Disinfecting the humidifier removes any remaining bacteria or mold after cleaning both the water
tank and water reservoir. It is recommended to disinfect your humidifier at least once a week with
regular use as well as before and after storing for long periods of time.
1. Clean the water tank and water reservoir as instructed in the previous section.
2. Fill the water tank half full. Add in ½ tsp of bleach. Place the tank cap back on.
3. Swish the solution around in tank. Place the tank on the base. The bleach solution will enter and
disinfect the water reservoir as well as the other components. Set still for 15-20 minutes.
4. Pour out the solution. Wipe the atomizer and floater with a soft cloth to remove loosened
mineral deposits.
5. Rinse both the water reservoir and water tank under cold water. Allow all parts to air dry
before reassembli
End-Of-Season Care and Storage
1. Follow the cleaning instructions when the humidifier will not be used for at least one week,
or at the end of the season. Remove any accessories used with the humidifier and allow the
humidifier and accessories to dry completely before storing.
2. DO NOT store with water inside the base, water reservoir, or tank.
3. Pack the unit safely and store in a cool, dry location.
Clean the Dustproof Sponge
Clean the dustproof sponge (at the back of base) with water or detergent once a month. Put it back
in place after cleaning.

1. Turn off and unplug the humidifier. Remove the nozzle.
2. Remove the water tank from the base. Drain water from the water tank and base.
3. Fill the water tank half full. Add in 1 teaspoon of undiluted distilled white vinegar. Attach the tank
cap and shake for 15 seconds.
4. Place the tank onto the base. The vinegar solution will enter the water reservoir to loosen mineral
buildup (scale) on the atomizer, water floater and the bottom of the water tank. Set still for
15-20 minutes.
5. Uncap the tank cap and drain the solution. Wipe the atomizer and floater with a soft cloth to
remove loosened mineral deposits.
6. Rinse both the water reservoir and water tank until the smell of vinegar (for scale removal) or
bleach solution (for disinfecting, see below) is gone.
