How to clean humidifier exteriors
1. DO NOT IMMERSE THE BASE IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID. An electric shock may
result, or the humidifier may be damaged.
2. Wipe all exterior surfaces of the base with a soft, dry cloth.
Daily maintenance
1. Turn switch to off (O) and unplug from the wall outlet.
2. Be sure the unit has cooled for at least 15 minutes. Lift the water tank from base
and place in sink or tub.
3. Carry the humidifier base to the sink and drain any remaining water. Wipe clean
and dry with a clean cloth.
4. Drain water from the water tank. Wipe clean, and dry with a clean cloth. Let the
water tank air dry when not in use.
Weekly maintenance (Removing scale)
NOTE: We recommend cleaning the humidifier WEEKLY or more often if you have
hard water or notice a build-up of impurities or detect unpleasant odors.
Repeat steps 1-4 above.
End of season maintenance and storing
1. Follow above weekly cleaning procedure at the end of the humidification sea-
son, or when the humidifier will not be used for several days, being sure to dry
all parts. Allow the water tank to thoroughly air dry before storage. DO NOT store
with water inside any part of the humidifier.
2. Leave tank cap partially loosened during storage to prevent tank cap and gasket
from sticking together. This will prolong the life of the gasket.
3. Save original box for easy storage. Store humidifier in a cool, dry location. Do not
place any heavy items on top of humidifier during storage as this may result in
possible damage of humidifier.
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the humidifier is unplugged and switched OFF before cleaning
or attempting to store the humidifier. NEVER PLUG OR UNPLUG HUMIDIFIER WITH
WET HANDS.
DO NOT leave water in the water tank or water basin when the humidifier is not in
use. If water remains in the water tank for more than a day or two, bacterial growth is
possible.
Storage
Allow the humidifier to dry completely before storing. Store the humidifier in a dry
location. Do not place any heavy items on top of humidifier during storage as this
may result in possible damage of the appliance. Always check the plug before use
to assure metal items have not become attached.
• Save the box for off-season storage.
• Make sure the tank, water basin and water tank cap are dried thoroughly before
storing.
• If water is left in the unit during storage, it may evaporate completely and leave
deposits that can prevent the unit from operating properly.
• Leave the water tank cap loose to prevent the water cap and gasket from sticking
together. This will prolong the life of the gasket.
