Remove the mist spout from the water tank. We suggest cleaning the water tank once every two to three weeks,
depending on your water conditions. Clean tank using a 50/50 mix of vinegar and water.

To clean the ultrasonic membrane, you must first remove the spring loaded wick. Remove the mist spout.

Make a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. Dip a soft bristle brush into the solution and brush ultrasonic
membrane. Wipe clean with a soft cloth. Clean both sides of membrane. (See Fig. 8)
