MAINTENANCE

CLEANING
ATTENTION: Please turn off the appliance and disconnect from the mains before cleaning or
performing any maintenance.
CLEANING THE SURFACE
• Clean the plastic housing with a duster or a soft wet cloth.
• Do not use chemical solvents (such as benzene, alcohol or gasoline) as they may cause irreversible
damage.
• Make sure no water enters the control panel.
• Do not permit the area around the humidifier to become damp or wet. If dampness occurs, turn the
output of the humidifier down. If the humidifier output volume cannot be turned down, use the
humidifier intermittently. Do not allow absorbent materials, such as carpeting, curtains, drapes, or
tablecloths, to be damp.
CLEANING THE WATER TANK
• Unplug the appliance then remove the screws securing the rear filter frame.
• Lift the filter frames to remove from the unit.
• Drain the tank by removing the bung on the underside of the tank.
• With a cloth (dipped in a mild detergent), wipe the water tank, rinse it with water.
• Cleaning the water tank at least once a week will help reduce any mineral deposits and keep the
filters clean.
• Do not run the unit in cooling mode with stale water in the tank.
• We recommend emptying the tank and refilling it with fresh water if water has been standing in
the tank for an extended period of time.
MAINTAINING AND CHANGING THE HONEYCOMB FILTER PAD
The appliance is supplied with a honeycomb cooling / filters pad. The cleaning frequency for the
honeycomb filters depend on local air and water conditions. In areas where the mineral content of the
water is high (hard water), mineral deposits may build up on the honeycomb filter and restrict air flow. If
mineral deposits remain on the honeycomb pads, the filter should be removed and washed under fresh
water. We recommend cleaning the honeycomb filter at least every two months, depending on your
needs.
For best results, allow the honeycomb filter to dry after each use by turning off the cooling function
and running as a fan for 15 minutes (with empty water tank) before turning the unit off.
Unplug the power cord, then unscrew the screws holding the filter frames in position. Remove the
filter frames from the appliance and take the honeycomb filter out of the frame. With a mild
detergent and a soft brush, scrub the honeycomb filter, clean with water and dry. Do not dip in water.
