1 Gal.
1 tsp.
(3.8 L)
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 bleach solution.
1. Mix 1 gallon (3.8L) of water with 1 teaspoon of bleach. Pour half of the bleach solution into first
Water Tank. Lift Tank and swish bleach solution around to wet entire inside of Tank. Repeat for
second Water Tank.
NOTE: Using more than 1 teaspoon of bleach to 1 gallon (3.8L) of water may result in damage to
the humidifier.
2. Place both Tanks on Base. Bleach solution will drain into Water Reservoir.
3. Allow bleach solution to remain in the Tanks and Base for 20 minutes.
4. Empty bleach solution from Tanks and Base. Rinse with clean water until the smell of bleach is gone.
Be sure both Float Paddles are secured before filling Tanks with water. See Float Paddle Installation
instructions in the Setting Up Your Humidifier section.
CAUTION:
Improper placement of the Float Paddles could result in leaking or water not
feeding to the Reservoir.
NOTE:
Consider using a Protec
Cleaning Ball to keep your humidifier
®
cleaner longer. It will continuously clean and protect against bacteria
and mold. It will also help prevent the buildup of slime in the water
and on humidifier surfaces. The Protec Ball will keep your humidifier
cleaner longer between cleanings. However, your humidifier still needs
to be cleaned regularly.
End of Season Cleaning
Follow cleaning instructions above when the humidifier will not be used for at least one week, or it is the
end of the season. Remove any accessories, including the Wicking Filter, and allow the humidifier to dry
completely before storing.
DO NOT store humidifier with water inside the Base, Water Reservoir or Water Tanks. At end of season,
remove and throw away filter. DO NOT store humidifier with a used Wicking Filter.
