WEEKLY CLEANING
:
We recommend cleaning the humidifier weekly,
more often if you have hard water, notice a build-
up of minerals, or detect unpleasant odors.
Cleaning is a two step process; scale removal
and disinfecting. Be sure to perform these in
the proper order to avoid harmful chemical
interactions.
• Turn off and unplug the humidifier.
• Remove the Tank and Removable Tray from the
Motor Housing.
• Remove the Filters from the Removable Tray
(failure to remove the filters during cleaning
will destroy them).
• Empty any water from the Removable Tray.
•
SCALE REMOVAL:
1. Fill the Removable Tray with either 1 cup (8
oz.) of undiluted white vinegar
OR
DuraRin-
se
TM
Humidifier Cleaner (AC-816) following
the bottle instructions.
2. Let the solution stand for 20 minutes.
3. With the solution in the Removable Tray,
clean all interior surfaces with a soft cloth or
brush.
4. Rinse the Removable Tray thoroughly with
water to remove the scale and cleaning
solution.
5. The Removable Tray is dishwasher safe.
You may place the tray in the top rack of the
dishwasher for cleaning.
•
DISINFECTING:
1. Fill the Tank with water and add 1 teaspoon
of household bleach. Pour some of this
solution into the Removable Tray.
2. Let the solution stand for 20 minutes.
3. Rinse with water until the smell of bleach is
gone.
NOTE: THE USE OF OTHER WATER TREAT-
MENT PRODUCTS, CHEMICALS, SOAPS,
DETERGENTS OR ABRASIVE CLEANSERS
NOT RECOMMENDED IN OUR WEBSITE OR
REFERENCED IN THIS MANUAL MAY CAUSE
DAMAGE TO THE HUMIDIFIER OR AFFECT
PERFORMANCE.
PROLONG THE LIFE OF YOUR FILTERS
:
• Soak the Natural Cool Moisture
TM
Filters in
water each time the humidifier is filled (see SET-
UP).
• Never squeeze or wring-out the filters. Always
install wet filters into the humidifier.
• Prevent mineral build-up by using DuraFree
TM
water softener (AC-817) each time the Tank is
filled.
• AgION prevents the surface growth and migra-
tion of mold, fungus, algae and bacteria. It is
normal for the filters to discolor from mineral
build-up. Discoloration will vary depending on
water quality.
• The filters should be changed at least once per
season, or when the humidifier’s performance
starts to deteriorate.
• Do not attempt to clean the filters with any
chemical solution. Doing so will damage the fil-
ters.
CARE AND STORAGE
:
• Follow WEEKLY CLEANING instructions when
the humidifier will not be used for a week or
more.
• Remove all water from the Removable Tray and
Tank before storing.
• Remove and throw the filters away at the end of
each season. Do not store the unit with used fil-
ters.
• Store in a cool, dry place.
• Clean the humidifier after prolonged storage
and install a new filters prior to use.
TROUBLESHOOTING
:
•
The fan is turning but I don’t see any mist.
• Dry air is pulled through the humidifier filters
and the fan dispenses the invisible moisture.
There is no “mist” emitted. Monitor the
water level in the tank. If you notice a
decrease in the Water Tank over 24 hours,
then the unit is operating normally.
•
The Fan is turning, but I don’t notice the
water level in the Tank decreasing.
• First, check the Filters to make sure they are
wet. If dry, remove the Filters and soak
them in cool water and then reinstall them.
