CLEANING AND CARE

CAUTION: Before cleaning the unit, turn it off and unplug unit from the outlet.
CLEANING THE TRANSDUCER/ULTRASONIC MEMBRANE
The transducer/ultrasonic membrane must be cleaned to remove water mineral deposits when the red
LED above the clean transducer/ultrasonic membrane button is illuminated. Failure to do so may cause
reduced or no mist output.
1. Remove the water
tank from the
humidifier base
and set aside.
2. Pour out any
remaining water
inside the
water reservoir.
TO CLEAN THE TANK
Remove the water tank from the humidifier base by lifting it from the
main unit. Unscrew the tank cap and rinse inside the tank with
clean water.
Every day: Empty and rinse the tank and tank cap before refilling.
Every week: To remove any scale or buildup, use a 50/50 mixture of white
vinegar and lukewarm water to clean the inside of the tank.
Transducer/ultrasonic membrane
3. Clean the transducer/ultrasonic membrane with
a 50/50 mix of white vinegar and water on a
cotton swab. Wipe off with a damp cotton swab.
Press and hold the clean button for 3 seconds
until the clean light turns off.
NEVER touch the transducer/ultrasonic
membrane with your fingers; the natural
oils in the skin can damage the surface.
NEVER submerge the base in water or any other
liquid.
