Daily Maintenance - Bionaire BWM0400 Instruction Leaflet

IMPORTANT: If you do not plan to use the humidifier for
two or more days, make sure any residual water is
drained from the water tank and base to prevent algae or
bacteria growth.
WARM MIST CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
The following maintenance procedures must be
routinely followed in order to ensure proper, efficient
operation of your humidifier. The unit WILL NOT
OPERATE if it is not cleaned properly.
When the unit is in use, daily and weekly maintenance is
recommended. Regular weekly cleaning prevents scale
buildup on the heating element and tray. It also prevents
micro-organisms from growing on the tray and tank.
This ensures that maximum efficiency will be achieved.
The manufacturer cannot over-emphasize how
essential proper cleaning is to the maintenance and
continued use of your unit and to the avoidance of
algae or bacteria build-up.

DAILY MAINTENANCE

Allow to cool before maintenance.
1. Before cleaning, set the control to OFF position and
unplug the unit from the electrical outlet.
2. Remove the water tank then unlock the misting
chamber by rotating the safety lock towards the front of
the unit. Lift mist chamber from the unit's base. Now
lift the tray from the base.
3. Empty water and minerals from the tray and place in
the top rack of the dishwasher. This will remove any
sediment and dirt that has accumulated in the tray.
NOTE: It is imperative that the tray is cleaned properly.
The tray is dishwasher safe (top rack ONLY) for easy
cleaning.
4. Wipe the heating element clean with a soft cloth
after it has had a chance to cool.
5. Replace misting chamber and engage safety lock.
The Electronic Thermal Control Heating element is lined
with a Teflon® coating that is designed to provide the
easiest cleaning and prolong the operating efficiency of
the humidifier. DO NOT use any metal or hard objects
