CARE AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
A) DAILY CLEANING
(See appendix D on page 6)
1. Pull the power plug before cleaning, Remove the tank cap
and Empty the residual water before cleaning.
2. Lift the Water Tank from the 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. Rinse
the Water Tank with lukewarm water after each use (Fig. 5).
3. DO NOT immerse the Base in water. Gently wipe the reservoir
with a soft, clean, wet cloth.
4. 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.
5. DO NOT leave water in the Water Tank or reservoir when the
unit is not in use as it may result in the buildup 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, bacteria growth is possible.
B) WEEKLY CLEANING (See appendix E on page 7)
1. Pull the power plug before cleaning, Remove the tank cap
and Empty the residual water before cleaning.
2. Thoroughly clean humidifier every week using a solution of
bleach and water (one teaspoon of bleach in one gallon of
water). Fill the 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 (Fig. 6).
3. Wipe the reservoir with a soft cloth dampened in the
solution. Rinse area thoroughly before proceeding.
4. If mineral deposits are evident around the Nebulizer, clean
the surface 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.
Rinse out the reservoir and wipe clean.
Do not touch Nebulizer or the Water Sensor with bare fingers
as any fingerprints or residue can reduce mist output. Do not
immerse the Base in water.
5. All surfaces should be thoroughly cleaned with water prior to
reuse. Please dry the appliance with another cloth before use.
