Before Cleaning
1.
Turn off and unplug humidifier. Never clean the humidifier when it is running.
2.
Remove Wicking Filter and any other accessories from humidifier.
3.
Empty water from Water Tank.
Instructions for Scale Removal
Follow steps 1-3 under Before Cleaning, then follow the additional steps below. Filter must be
removed from humidifier before scale removal; do not clean filter with vinegar.
1.
Pour 2 cups of undiluted distilled white vinegar in Water Tank. Replace Tank Cap and secure
tightly by turning clockwise (to right). Swish vinegar around in Tank to wet entire inside of Tank.
2.
Place Tank on Base. Vinegar solution will drain into Water Reservoir and loosen mineral buildup
(scale) in Base, Reservoir and bottom of Water Tank. Soak for 20 minutes.
3.
After soaking, empty vinegar from Water Tank. With vinegar in the base, clean all interior
surfaces with a soft cloth or brush to help remove scale.
4.
Rinse Water Tank, Base and Reservoir with water until the smell of vinegar is gone.
NOTE:
Consider using a Protec Cleaning Cartridge (PC-1, PC-2 and PC-1C) to keep your humidifier
cleaner longer. Protec Cleaning Cartridge continuously cleans and protects against bacteria
and mold. It also helps prevent the buildup of slime in the water and on humidifier surfaces.
The Protec Cartridge will keep your humidifier cleaner longer between cleanings. However,
your humidifier still needs to be cleaned regularly.
