CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

INSTRUCTIONS
Humidifiers provide comfort by adding moisture to dry,
heated indoor air. To benefit most from the humidifier and
avoid product misuse, follow all instructions carefully. Please
note that this is an electrical appliance and requires attention
when in use.
In addition, if you do not follow the recommended care and
maintenance guidelines, micro-organisms may be able to
grow in the water within the water reservoir. You must
routinely follow the cleaning procedures that follow in order
to ensure proper, efficient operation of your humidifier.
Proper maintenance and cleaning is essential to the continued
performance of your unit and the avoidance of algae or
bacteria build-up.
DAILY MAINTENANCE
1. Be sure the unit is OFF and is disconnected from the
electrical outlet.
2. Remove the housing and the reservoir from the
humidifier and place in sink or tub.
3. Carry the base of the unit to the sink, remove the wick
filters, place in sink, drain any remaining water and
rinse thoroughly to remove any sediment or dirt. Wipe
clean, and dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.
4. Drain the water from the reservoir into the sink and
rinse reservoir thoroughly. Wipe clean, and dry with a
clean cloth or paper towel.
5. Put filter back in, replace the housing, then refill
reservoir with cool tap water as instructed earlier in the

6. Follow Operating Instructions.
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
To Remove Scale:
1. Repeat steps 1-4 in the Daily Maintenance section.
2. Clean the base by partially filling the base with one 8-oz
cup of undiluted white vinegar. Leave this solution in the
base for 20 minutes, while cleaning all the interior
surfaces with a soft brush. Remove base scale by wiping
the base with a cloth dampened with undiluted white
vinegar.
3. Rinse with clean warm water to remove the cleaning
solution before disinfecting the reservoir.
To Disinfect Reservoir:
1. Fill humidifier reservoir 1/2 full with water and 1/2
tablespoon of chlorine bleach.
2. Let the solution stand for 20 minutes, swishing every few
minutes. Wet all surfaces.
3. Carefully empty the reservoir after 20 minutes, and
rinse with warm water until you cannot detect any bleach
smell. Dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.
4. Refill the water reservoir as directed in Operating
Instructions, and turn the unit on.
