Cleaning and maintenance

Portable humidifiers require regular cleaning in order to reduce the risk of bacterial
growth, and to remove any scale residue to maintain good operational performance.
Follow the procedures below for healthy maintenance of your Fox or Unicorn
Humidifier.
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the humidifier is unplugged and switched OFF before cleaning or
attempting to store the humidifier. NEVER PLUG OR UNPLUG HUMIDIFIER WITH WET
HANDS.
DO NOT leave water in water tank or water basin when unit is not in use as it may
result in the buildup of mineral deposits and bacteria that can inhibit the output
efficiency of the humidifier. PLEASE NOTE that if water remains in the water tank for
more than a day or two, bacterial growth is possible.
NOTE: When removing water tank, water may accumulate under vapor lid and on the
bottom of the water tank. It is recommended to have a dry cloth ready to dry wet
surfaces
