Cleaning And Care - Walgreens UHE-WGC2 Instruction Manual And Warranty Information

ABOUT WHITE DUST
Use of high mineral content hard water may cause a white mineral residue to accumulate on surfaces
in the room near the humidifier. The mineral residue is commonly called "white dust." The higher the
mineral content (or, the harder your water is), the greater the potential for white dust. The white dust is
not caused by a defect in the humidifier. It is caused only by minerals suspended in the water.
If you live in an area with hard water, or use a water softener, we recommend using distilled water for
better results from your humidifier. Never use water-softening additives in your humidifier.

CLEANING AND CARE

CAUTION: Before cleaning the unit, turn it off and unplug unit from the outlet.
CLEANING THE TRANSDUCER/ULTRASONIC MEMBRANE
The transducer/ultrasonic membrane must be cleaned to remove water mineral deposits when the red LED
above the clean button is illuminated. Failure to do so may cause reduced or no mist output.
1. Remove the water
tank from the
humidifier base
and set aside.
2. Pour out any
remaining water
inside the
water reservoir.
Transducer/ultrasonic membrane
3. Clean the transducer/ultrasonic membrane with
a 50/50 mix of white vinegar and water on a
cotton swab. Wipe off with a damp cotton swab.
Press and hold the clean button until the red
LED turns off.
NEVER touch the transducer/ultrasonic
membrane with your fingers; the natural
oils in the skin can damage the surface.
NEVER submerge the base in water or any other
liquid.
