Cleaning Your Humidifier - Honeywell HUL585 Series Owner's Manual

CLEANING YOUR HUMIDIFIER

To keep your humidifier running efficiently, clean it regularly. Weekly cleaning is recommended. All maintenance
should be done in the kitchen or bathroom on a water resistant surface near a faucet.
To properly clean your humidifier, we recommend the separate processes of Scale Removal and Disinfecting.
These two processes must be performed separately.
Before Cleaning
1. Turn off and unplug humidifier. Never clean the humidifier when it is running.
2. Remove Water Tank and empty completely. Remove any accessories from the water tank.
We recommend changing water and airing out between uses.

1. Pour a minimum of 1 cup (1/4 liter) of undiluted distilled white vinegar in the Water Tank. Gently swish
vinegar around in the Tank to wet entire inside of Tank.
2. Place Tank on Base. Vinegar will drain into the Water Reservoir and loosen mineral buildup (scale) in the
Reservoir and bottom of the Water Tank. There should be enough vinegar to cover the bottom inside of the Tank.
3. Soak for 20 minutes, then remove Water Tank and slowly empty vinegar into sink. Rinse with tap water until
the smell of vinegar is gone.
4. Empty vinegar from Base and Reservoir area; rinse with water until the smell of vinegar is gone.
5. Remove Float Paddle from Reservoir by lifting up on Float Rod and set aside. Use a soft cloth or the included
Cleaning Brush to gently clean Nebulizer, and all areas in the Reservoir. NOTE: Nebulizer is fragile. DO NOT
apply extreme pressure. Wipe Float Paddle with a soft cloth to remove loosened minerals.
6. Place Float Paddle back in Reservoir. Position in place. For detailed instructions, refer to the Float Paddle
Installation section.
CAUTION: DO NOT SUBMERGE BASE IN WATER. DOING SO WILL DAMAGE THE HUMIDIFIER
AND VOID THE WARRANTY.
