MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Read all instructions before installation and use

• Always place humidifier on a firm, flat surface. A waterproof mat or pad is recommended for under the humidifier. A finished floor may be damaged by water or moisture exposure.
• Do not reach for a unit that has fallen into water. Unplug it immediately.
• Always unplug the unit from the electrical outlet immediately after using and before cleaning.
• Do not place or store the unit where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink.

Wash the nozzle, cover separately, and let tank dry in the shade

• Clean tank at least once or twice a week using clean water.
• Naturally occurring stains inside the tank can be cleaned using a soft cloth.
• Do not use chemicals such as bleach, abrasive, etc. to clean.

Cleaning the ultrasonic transducer

• Clean the ultrasonic module of the humidifier at least once or twice a week.
• Tilt it in the direction of the air hinge when disposing of the water in the main body.
• Do not allow water into this opening (air outlet).
• Never touch the transducer/ultrasonic membrane with your fingers; the natural oil and cosmetics in the skin can damage the surface.
• Never clean the ultrasonic membrane by scraping with a hard object. Scratching the surface of the vibrator with a sharp object may cause the Mist Output to weaken or cause failure.
• Never submerge the base in water or any other liquid.
• In general, if the user touches the transducer/ ultrasonic membrane with their fingers, the natural oil and cosmetics on the skin can damage the surface, resulting in irregular mist output. In order to have the unit run properly after this occurs, you need to:
  
  1. Wash the water tank and the base 2 ~ 3 times and then restart the unit. In case the unit is not washed, the unit will operate normally after running for 30 min ~ 1 hour on continuous mode.
  2. If the water is not enough, the mist may not be generated properly. (This may be a defect in the air hinge or water valve) There should be at least 30 mm of water in the base after removing the water tanks.

Guide bracket silencer

• Press down on the hook and lift it up.
• It is best to wash off with clean, running water.
• Dry and refit.

Deep cleaning (with vinegar)

• Before and after storing the humidifier for a long period of time, be sure to dry the Mist Output completely and wipe clean.
• Clean the tank, reservoir, tank cap, and transducer/ ultrasonic membrane with a 10:1 ratio mixture of water and white vinegar.
• Fill the tank with diluted vinegar water to the maximum level.
• Put roughly 400 ml of mixed water into the main body.
• Fill the water tank and main body with water and leave for 30 to 60 minutes.
• Pour out mixed water and rinse with clean tap water 2 to 3 times.
• Dry the parts in a well-shaded place.
• Please reassemble the dried product.
