Cleaning Your Humidifier - Honeywell HUL525 Series Owner's Manual

CLEANING 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.
To properly clean your humidifier, we recommend the separate processes of Scale Removal and Disinfecting.
These two processes must be performed separately.
Before Cleaning
1

1. Pour 2 cups (.5 liters) of undiluted distilled white vinegar into the Water Tank.
2. Replace Tank Cap and swish vinegar in Tank to coat the inside of the Water Tank.
3. Place Tank on Base, allowing vinegar to drain into the Water Reservoir. The vinegar will loosen mineral buildup
on the Nebulizer, Plunger and in the bottom of the Tank. Soak for 20 minutes.
4. While soaking, remove the Mist Outlet and wipe with cloth soaked in vinegar.
5. Remove Water Tank and empty vinegar into sink.
6. Use a soft cloth or the included Cleaning Brush to gently clean Nebulizer, and all areas in the Reservoir.
NOTE: Nebulizer is fragile. DO NOT apply extreme pressure.
7. Pour vinegar from the Base into the sink. Pour from the side to avoid leaking into Control Knob. Rinse the Tank
and Reservoir with clean water until the smell of vinegar is gone.
CAUTION: DO NOT SUBMERGE BASE IN WATER. DOING SO WILL DAMAGE THE
HUMIDIFIER AND VOID THE WARRANTY
