Care, Cleaning
& Storage
Before cleaning, ensure the power is switched
off and then remove the power plug from the
power outlet.
BREVILLE RECOMMENDS
•
Only use cold water or distilled water in the
water tank.
•
Change the water often to keep it fresh.
•
Clean the transducer, water tank and water
basin at a minimum of once every week when
in constant use.
•
Use a small brush or a cotton swab to assist with
cleaning the transducer and basin. Never use
metal or sharp objects.
•
After cleaning, ensure all parts are completely
dry before using the humidifier.
NOTE
Clean the whole humidifier and make sure that
all parts are dried completely.
Use a damp cloth only.
Do not immerse the unit in water.
Clean the transducer, water tank and basin at least
once a week.
IMPORTANT
If you do not use the humidifier for a long time,
clean and dry the water tank and the water
purification filter, and all parts before storage.
WARNING
Do not use chemicals, steel wool, metal scouring
pad or abrasive cleaners to clean the outside of
the humidifier housing as these may damage the
humidifier.
IMPORTANT
Cleaning procedures must be routinely followed
to ensure that the humidifier continues to operate
efficiently. Do not use the humidifier unless it has
been cleaned according to instructions.
TO CLEAN EXTERNAL PARTS
•
Use a clean, dry cloth to clean all external
surfaces of the humidifier.
•
A soft, slightly-damp cloth may be used to wipe
the external housing of the humidifier if more
thorough cleaning is required. Never use
chemical substances or scourers as this could
damage the housing and the control panel.
•
Dry thoroughly before storing or using the
humidifier.
TO CLEAN INTERNAL PARTS
In cases when the water is hard (where water
contains too much calcium and magnesium),
leave heavy scale on the surface of water basin,
transducer and inner surface of the water tank.
Scale, or calcification, on the surface of transducer
will reduce the reliability of the unit.
To clean internal parts of the humidifier, create a
cleaning solution of 1-part vinegar to 1-part water.
WATER TANK
•
It is important to clean the water tank regularly
and ensure it is dry before reassembling and
using the humidifier.
•
To clean, create a vinegar and water solution
enough to fill the tank about half way.
Making sure the cap is replaced on the tank,
swish the solution around for a minute,
then fill the rest of the tank up with tap water.
Leave to sit for 1–2 hours, or even overnight.
•
Empty and rinse well with clean water.
NOTE
To assist with emptying all the water from the
water tank, it may help to slightly shake the tank
over a sink or drain.
MIST NOZZLE
•
If the mist output is reducing due to
calcification, turn the top cover over and
immerse the nozzle in a vessel filled with
vinegar and water solution and soak for at least
10 minutes.
•
Rinse with clean or distilled water and allow
to dry.
