CLEANING AND CARE

CAUTION: Before cleaning, turn the unit off and unplug the unit.
CLEANING THE TRANSDUCER/ULTRASONIC MEMBRANE
The transducer/ultrasonic membrane must be cleaned as necessary to remove water mineral deposits.
Failure to do so may cause reduced or no mist output.
1. Remove the water
tank from the
humidifier base
and set aside.
2. Pour out any
remaining water
inside the
water reservoir
by pouring in the
direction of the
drain arrow.
TO CLEAN THE TANK
Remove the water tank from the humidifier base by lifting it from the
main unit. Unscrew the tank cap and rinse inside the tank with
clean water.
Every day: Empty and rinse the tank and tank cap before refilling.
Every week: To remove any scale or buildup, use a 50/50 mixture
of white vinegar and lukewarm water to clean the inside of the tank.
TO CLEAN THE ESSENTIAL OIL TRAY
Open the oil tray and remove the pad. Essential oil pads should be
changed when switching to a different essential oil scent. If continuing
to use the same scent, set the essential oil pad aside for reuse. Wipe
down the inside of the oil tray with a soft cloth. Place the essential oil
pad back in the tray and close.
NOTE: Leave the used essential oil pad out of the oil tray when storing.
TO CLEAN THE SURFACE
Clean the surface of the unit with a soft, damp cloth.
Before storing: Clean the tank, water reservoir, tank cap, and the
transducer/ultrasonic membrane with a 50/50 mixture of white
vinegar and water. Be sure to rinse and let all parts dry completely
before storing. Clean the oil tray with a soft cloth.
After storing: Rinse the tank with water before operating.
3. Clean the transducer/ultrasonic membrane with
a 50/50 mix of white vinegar and water on a
cotton swab. Wipe off with a damp cotton swab.
NEVER touch the transducer/ultrasonic
membrane with your fingers; the natural
oils in the skin can damage the surface.
NEVER submerge the base in water or any
other liquid.
