WEEKLY CLEANING
STEP ONE:
SCALE REMOVAL
REMOVABLE TRAY
1. Fill the Removable Tray with:
• 1 cup (8 ozs.) of undiluted white vine-
gar
2. Let solution stand for 20 minutes.
3. With the vinegar in the Removable
Tray, clean all interior surfaces with a
soft cloth or brush to help remove scale.
4. Rinse thoroughly with water to
remove scale and cleaning solution.
STEP TWO:
DISINFECTING
Water Tank/Removable TRAY
1. Fill the Water Tank with:
• 1 teaspoon of household bleach and
• 1 gallon of water
Pour some of this solution into the Tray.
2. Let solution stand for 20 minutes.
3. Rinse with water until the odor of
bleach is gone.
We recommend cleaning the humidifier once a week, more often if you have hard
water, notice a build up of impurities or detect unpleasant odors.
Cleaning involves two steps: SCALE REMOVAL and DISINFECTING. Be sure to
perform these in the proper order to avoid harmful chemical interactions.
• First, turn off and unplug the humidifier.
• Remove the Water Tank.
•
Remove the Filter from the Base.
• Empty any water from the Base.
NOTE: REMOVE FILTER BEFORE CLEANING.
Failure to remove filter during cleaning will destroy the filter.
NOTE: THE USE OF OTHER WATER TREATMENT PRODUCTS AND CHEMICALS MAY
CAUSE DETERIORATION OF THE FILTER OR DAMAGE THE HUMIDIFIER, THEREBY
HINDERING THE HUMIDIFIER’S EFFECTIVENESS.
