CLEANING THE HEATING ELEMENT

If the output drops, or the Refill light remains on, even while there is water in the
tank, the mineral build-up may need to be removed from the heating element of the
Power Unit.

How often you perform this special maintenance depends upon the hardness of the

water you are using and how quickly mineral deposits form on the interior surfaces
of the humidifier.

1. Turn off and unplug the humidifier. Allow at least 10 minutes for the unit to cool.

2. The heating element is on the bottom of the Power

Unit. To access it, remove the Power Unit by pulling on
the Latch (found under the Water Tank) and lifting the
Power Unit (Fig. 7).

3. Turn it upside down. BE SURE IT HAS COOLED

SUFFICIENTLY.

4. Use a non-metallic brush or a soft, dry cloth to wipe 

the outer surfaces of the heating element (Fig. 8). Some 
deposit may remain, but should not interfere with the operation of the unit.

5. DO NOT clean the heating element under running water. Doing so may cause

damage or personal injury.

END-OF-THE-SEASON CARE AND STORAGE

• Follow WEEKLY CLEANING instructions when the humidifier will not be used for at

least one week or more, or at the end of the season.

• Dry the humidifier completely before storing. DO NOT store with water inside the

Removable Tray, Base, or Water Tank.

• Pack the unit in its original carton and store in a cool, dry location.

• Before next use, remember to clean the humidifier.
