CLEANING
• Always unplug the unit before servicing in any way.
• The water temperature of the water remaining in the unit after use may be high, allow
time for it to cool.
GENERAL CLEANING
• Inside the base of the unit. Pour excess water out of the unit. Wash out the unit with fresh
water using the cleaning brush and a soft cloth as needed. Do not submerse the base of the
unit into water, or allow water to enter inside the dry air exhaust port of the unit.
• Water tank. Empty water tank. Remove mist nozzle and clean the mist tube with fresh water
and a light brush (bottle cleaning brush is recommended).
• Outer surface of the unit. Wipe the surface of the unit with a soft, damp cloth if needed. If
you notice an accumulation of water during usage, reduce humidity and dry outer surface with
a cloth.
DESCALING
• Depending on usage and water type, cleaning to remove scale may be required
weekly or every other week to optimize unit performance.
• If you live in a hardwater area, we recommend the use of distilled water for your
humidifier. This will help reduce the precipitation of minerals or 'white dust'.
• Do not clean the unit or water tank with detergents or cleaning chemicals of any kind.

2. Remove the tank and empty all water from unit base and tank.
