NOTE: Regular use of an EPA approved Bacteriostat, such as Essick
Air Part No. 1970 added to the water reservoir helps keep the interior
of the unit from growing mildew or mold.
NOTE: Before cleaning, we recommend moving the humidifier to
an area where water will not cause damage, such as the kitchen or
bathroom.
