CARING FOR YOUR HUMIDIFIER
To keep your humidifier running efficiently, clean it regularly. Weekly cleaning is
recommended. All maintenance should be done in the kitchen or bathroom on a water
resistant surface near a faucet. Do not wash any components of this humidifier in a
dishwasher.
To properly clean your humidifier we recommend the separate processes of Scale Removal
and Disinfecting. These two processes must be done separately.

Before Cleaning

Follow steps 1-3 under Before Cleaning, then follow the additional steps below.
NOTE: Filter must be removed from humidifier during cleaning; do not clean Filter with
vinegar.
1. Pour up to 2 cups of undiluted distilled white vinegar into each Water Tank. Swish vinegar
around in Tank to wet entire inside of Tank.
2. Place Tanks on Base. Vinegar solution will drain into Water Reservoir and loosen mineral
buildup (Scale) in Base, Reservoir and bottom of the two Water Tanks. Allow vinegar to
remain in the Tanks and Base for 15-20 minutes.
3. Empty vinegar from Tanks and Base and use a cloth or soft brush to help remove scale.
4. Rinse Base and Reservoir with clean water until the smell of vinegar is gone.
