How do I clean my humidifier?

Thoroughly clean the humidifier weekly. It is recommended that the unit be cleaned more
frequently if tap water/hard water is being used. Using hard water in the unit leaves mineral
deposits and creates "white mist".

Tank cleaning

1 . Fill the water tank 1/3 of the way with clean water and 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or
bleach.
2 . Set aside for 20 minutes, over a sink, shake the tank every few minutes. DO NOT place
the tank on the base or run the unit while cleaning.
3 . Drain and rinse the tank twice with clean water. Use a soft wash cloth to wipe down
and dry off the tank.

Base Cleaning

1 . Use a cup to fill the base of the unit with 2 cups of clean water and 1 tablespoon of
white vinegar or bleach. Set aside for 5 minutes. NEVER submerge or place base of unit
under running water.
2 . Carefully use the brush (provided) to clean around the nebulizer and loosen any
mineral deposit build-up. DO NOT touch nebulizer with fingers as any fingerprints or
other residue can affect mist output.
3 . Empty the cleaning solution by holding the base from the side where the brush holder
is located and having the water run the opposite end.
4 . Rinse the base twice using by pouring 2 cups of clean water in the base each time.
5 . Wipe the base and outer surfaces with a soft, damp wash cloth.

What kind of water can I use in my humidifier?

Distilled, filtered and soft water should be used in the humidifiers. You can choose to use tap
water but keep in mind that hard water will leave deposits in the unit and will require more
maintenance. You may also notice white dust coming from the mist. These are the minerals
from the tap water.

Why is my humidifier leaking?

First, check where the unit is leaking from. Is the unit leaking from the tank or the base? Did
any water get into the base of the unit while cleaning? If the unit is leaking from the tank,
make sure that the tank cap is properly screwed on and secure. Check to see if there are any
cracks in the tank. Check that the base is set on a flat, level surface.

Why is my humidifier producing a white mist/dust?
