Weekly Maintenance
1.
Thoroughly clean humidifier every week using a solution of bleach and water (one
teaspoon of bleach in one gallon of water). Fill Water Tank partially with this solution, let
stand twenty (20) minutes, shaking vigorously every few minutes, drain and rinse with
clean water until the bleach smell is gone.
2.
Wipe the Reservoir with a soft cloth dampened in the solution. Rinse area thoroughly
before proceeding.
3.
If mineral deposits are evident around the Nebulizer and Water Sensor, clean their
surfaces with a soft, clean cloth and a small amount of undiluted white vinegar. If
necessary for removal of mineral deposits, mix a solution of 50% white vinegar and
50% water and fill the Base with enough solution to cover the Nebulizer. Allow it to
soak for an hour. Then use a cotton swab to gently loosen buildup on the Nebulizer.
Rinse out the Reservoir and wipe clean.
Do not touch Nebulizer with bare fingers
as any fingerprints or other residue can affect mist output. Be careful not to damage
the Water Sensor.
4.
Remove VapoPad when finished. Do not pour water or detergent into the Scent Pad
slot. Scent Pad slot can be cleaned with a cotton swab only.
5.
All surfaces should be thoroughly cleaned with water prior to reuse.
End of Season Maintenance
1.
Follow above weekly cleaning procedure at the end of the humidification season,
or when the humidifier will not be used for several days, being sure to dry all parts,
including the inside of the Water Tank.
Do not
store with water inside.
2.
Leave Tank Cap partially loosened during storage to prevent Tank Cap and gasket from
sticking together. This will prolong the life of the gasket.
3.
Clean the Water Tank and Base after long periods of storage.

Daily Maintenance
1.
lift the Water Tank from Base and empty all water from the Reservoir. Remove the Tank
Cap and drain any water from the Water Tank. Wipe it clean with a soft, damp cloth.
The Mist Nozzle should be removed during cleaning to prevent damage.
2.
Do not immerse the Base in water. Gently wipe the Reservoir with a soft, clean, wet
cloth. Do not attempt to remove or in any other way modify the Water Sensor. Use care
when wiping around the Water Sensor; it is delicate and can be easily damaged. Rinse
the Water Tank with lukewarm water after each use. For storage, wipe dry with a soft,
clean cloth. Keep water away from the Air Outlet.
3.
Do not use detergent to clean any water-containing parts of the humidifier. Detergents
and the film they leave behind can affect the output of the humidifier. Do not use
abrasive cleansers or brushes.
4.
Do not leave water in the Water Tank or Reservoir when unit is not in use as it may
result in the build up of mineral deposits and bacteria that can inhibit the output
efficiency of the humidifier. Please note that if water remains in the Water Tank for
more than a day or two, bacterial growth is possible.
