CLEANING

Proper cleaning is essential to the air quality and performance of your humidifier.
The frequency in which your humidifier will need to be cleaned will vary
depending on use, water hardness and outside environmental factors.
It is recommended, assuming average use, to thoroughly clean weekly or when
algae, mineral deposits or other particles begin to form. If the humidifier is turned
off with water in the base and not turned back on for 8 hours or longer, or if
humidifier is not cleaned as recommended, you may experience some growth of
algae or bacteria. These microorganisms may become airborne.
NOTE: Do not use gasoline, thinners, solvents or other chemicals for cleaning.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Turn humidifier off, unplug from wall and disconnect the adapter from the
base.
2. Remove the water tank and empty any remaining water in the base.
3. Gently wipe down and clean the water tank with a mild detergent. Rinse with
clean tap water.
4. Locate the ultrasonic disk on the inside center of the base. Put 5-10 drops
of vinegar on the surface of the ultrasonic disk. Wait for 2-5 minutes. Use
soft-tipped cotton swab to gently clean the disk. Do not scrub or scrape the
ultrasonic disk.
5. Clean the water basin using a soft cloth or soft-tipped cotton swab, and rinse
with clean tap water. Do NOT submerge the base into water.
6. Wipe the outer surface of the unit with a soft, damp cloth if needed.
