Cleaning
STEP ONE:
SCALE REMOVAL
BASE
1. Fill the Base with:
• 1 cup (8 ozs.) of undiluted white vinegar
2. Let solution stand for 20 minutes.
3. With the vinegar in the Base, clean all interior
surfaces with a soft cloth or brush to help
remove scales.
4. Rinse the Base thoroughly with water to remove
scale and cleaning solution.
STEP TWO:
DISINFECTING
WATER TANK/BASE
1. Fill the Water Tank with:
• 1 teaspoon of household bleach
and
• 1 gallon of water
Pour some of this solution into the Base.
2. Let solution stand for 20 minutes.
3. Rinse with water until the smell of bleach is
gone.
NOTES:
• The use of other water treatment products and chemicals may cause deterioration of the Filter or
damage the humidifier, thereby hindering the humidifier's effectiveness.
• If you are experiencing more buildup than when you first purchased your humidifier, you may
need to replace your Protec
™
Cleaning Cartridge. Changing your cartridge every 30 days will
provide continuous protection.
Your Protec
™
Cleaning Cartridge helps your humidifier stay cleaner longer and will help extend the life of
your Filter. However, you should still continue to clean your humidifier regularly as needed.
Cleaning involves two steps, SCALE REMOVAL and DISINFECTING.
Be sure to perform these in the proper order to avoid harmful chemical interactions.
• First, turn off and unplug the humidifier.
• Remove the Water Tanks and Motor Housing.
•
Remove the Filter from the Base.
• Empty any water from the Base.
NOTE: REMOVE FILTER AND PROTEC
™
CLEANING CARTRIDGE BEFORE CLEANING.
Failure to remove Filter during cleaning will destroy the Filter.
The Protec
™
Cleaning Cartridge will last 30 days or longer, depending on
your usage. To install or replace your cartridge, simply remove it from its
special inlet located in the base of the unit (Fig. 15).
