About cleaning:
•
Since mushrooms can (and will) release spores that can support mold growth, it's important
to clean your fruiting chamber after each fruiting cycle.
•
Keeping Mella clean and sterile is critical to making sure your growing environment is as
effective and healthy as possible.
•
To make cleaning easier, harvest your mushrooms early. Prolonged growth will dramatically
increase the amount of spores that are released.
•
Avoid cleaning the chamber with solvents or other organic compounds - these can
irreversibly damage your humidity sensor. Only use warm, soapy water.
Cleaning procedure:
1. Remove humidification filter. Rinse under running water until clean. Replace humidification
filter as needed. Do not continue using if contaminated.
2. Remove the side tank and water tray.
3. Empty out the water tray and wash with warm, soapy water until clean.
4. Rinse water tray with cool, clean water.
5. Unplug the humidity fan and lift the fan bracket to remove.
6. Wash fan and fan bracket under cool, running water until clean. The fan is water resistant
but do not submerge plug.
7. Set fan bracket aside. In the chamber, plug the dust cover into the fan plug before cleaning.
8. Wash chamber with warm, soapy water until clean. Do not use chemical cleaners.
