Weekly Cleaning; Scale Removal - Honeywell HCM-3060 Series Owner's Manual

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 Tanks, and Motor Housing.
Remove the Natural Cool Moisture™ filters from the
•
Base (Fig. 6).
• Discard any remaining water from the Base.
Failure to remove filters during cleaning will destroy the filters.
