DEMINERALIZATION CARTRIDGE
The demineralization cartridge reduces the amount of minerals that cause white dust to appear
on furniture, etc. if unit is used with tap water. The amount of white dust accumulation depends on
your water supply and its mineral content. You may be able to find out the water hardness in your
area by calling your local water department.
To use: Just place the demineralization cartridge in the cavity in the bottom of the unit. Then replace
the water tank and wait a few minutes for the reservoir to refill. Plug in the unit and turn it on. Mist
will start when reservoir is full. If white dust accumulation becomes noticeable, or after long
periods of storage, order and insert a new demineralization cartridge.
To order a demineralization cartridge, call 1-800-394-2326. Order demineralization
cartridge 6588. VISA and Mastercard accepted.
Note: The performance of the demineralization cartridge is dependent upon the mineral content
of your water supply: Efficiency will deteriorate with the number of uses.
