Cleaning Your Humidifier
To keep your humidifier running efficiently, clean it regularly. Weekly cleaning is recommended. All
maintenance should be done in the kitchen or bathroom on a water-resistant surface near a faucet.
To properly clean your humidifier, we recommend the separate processes of Scale Removal
and Disinfecting.
These two processes must be performed separately.
Before Cleaning:
1.
Remove Water Tank and slowly pour 2 cups (.5 liters) of undiluted, distilled white vinegar
into the Reservoir on the Water Tray.
DO NOT
pour vinegar over the blue Locking Latch.
Only pour into the deep Reservoir.
Note: Pour slowly to give enough time for vinegar
to flow from the Reservoir into the Heating Chamber.
The vinegar will slowly begin
to fill the Heating Chamber, located under the Mist Chimney. Let soak for 20 minutes to
loosen scale on the Heating Element.
Water Tank scale removal steps:
Pour additional vinegar into the Water Tank, replace Cover and swish to coat inside of Tank.
Use a cloth dampened with vinegar to wipe away any scale on the inside of the Tank and Cap.
2.
Remove the Mist Chimney by gently sliding blue Locking Latch towards the front of the
unit (a) and lifting Chimney upwards (b).
3.
Remove Heating Element Cover by lifting from the large round opening and pulling away
from the Chimney.
4.
Wet the bristles of a soft brush with vinegar from the Water Tray and gently scrub
the surface of the Heating Element, Heating Element Cover, Reservoir, and Heating
Chamber to remove mineral deposits.
DO NOT USE HARD BRUSHES, STEEL WOOL, OR OTHER HARD ABRASIVES ON THE
HEATING ELEMENT. DOING SO WILL DAMAGE THE HEATING ELEMENT.
DO NOT POUR VINEGAR DIRECTLY ONTO THE HEATING ELEMENT.
NOTE:
If scale is still visible on the Heating Element, moisten a paper towel with vinegar, and
wrap it around the Heating Element. Let it sit for 30 minutes or until scale loosens.
IMPORTANT:
Remove paper towel from the Heating Element before proceeding to the next step.
5.
Remove Water Tray by gently lifting from the Tab and the opening in front of the Latch, and
empty vinegar in sink. Rinse Water Tray and Heating Element Cover with water until the
smell of vinegar is gone.
6.
With a soft damp cloth, wipe Heating Element to remove any excess scale. Snap Heating
Element Cover back on the bottom of the Mist Chimney. It will only fit one way.
CAUTION: DO NOT RINSE HEATING ELEMENT OR MIST CHIMNEY IN SINK OR UNDER
RUNNING WATER AS WATER CAN GET INTO INTERNAL PARTS. DOING SO WILL DAMAGE
THE HUMIDIFIER AND VOID THE WARRANTY. ONLY USE A WET CLOTH OR PAPER TOWEL
TO CLEAN THIS PART.
