We suggest following the AHAM (Association of Home
Appliance Manufacturers) cleaning regiment several times
during the season.

STeP 2
- Remove the Water Reservoir and Filter. (See page 11 for instructions).
STeP 3
- Empty the Base and Water Reservoir and rinse with clean tap water.
As noted, depending on the quality of water in your home,
impurities can build up quickly or may take some time. It is possible
that some scale may form on the inside of the Base.
