Select a firm, level, flat location - at least six inches (15 cm) from any wall or object for proper air flow.

Place the humidifier on a water-resistant surface, as water can damage furniture and some flooring.

Guardian Technologies will not accept responsibility for damage caused by water spillage. FILLING - Make sure unit is unplugged.

CLEANING

Always unplug the unit before servicing in any way.

GENERAL CLEANING

Inside the base of the unit. Pour excess water out of the unit. Wash out the unit with fresh water using the cleaning brush and a soft cloth as needed. Use brush to clean underneath float (remove from water tank). Do not submerse the base of the unit into water, or allow water to enter inside the dry air exhaust port of the unit.
Water tank. Empty water tank. Clean the bottom and inside of the tank with fresh water and brush (bottle brush suggested). Clean mist nozzle area.
Outer surface of the unit. Wipe the surface of the unit with a soft, damp cloth if needed. If you notice an accumulation of water during usage, reduce humidity and dry outer surface with a cloth.

DESCALING

Depending on usage and water type, cleaning to remove scale may be required weekly or every other week to optimize unit performance.
If you live in a hard water area, we recommend the use of distilled water for your humidifier. This will help reduce the precipitation of minerals or 'white dust'.
Do not clean the unit or water tank with detergents or cleaning chemicals of any kind.

ULTRASONIC DISK

Unplug unit. Remove the tank and empty all water from unit base and tank.
Locate the ultrasonic disk on the inside of the base unit.
Use ONLY the enclosed cleaning brush to gently clean disk and remove build up and deposits. Do not scrub or scrape the ultrasonic disk.

Clean the disk with the brush only. No other cleaning tool should be used. BRUSH ONLY.

If scale becomes difficult to remove with brush:

Fill the tank with: mixture of 1 tsp. white vinegar and 1 tsp. water.
Let solution stand for 5 minutes.
With the vinegar in the tank, clean all interior surfaces with a soft cloth or brush to help remove scale.
Also check mist nozzle and under float in water tank. Clean as needed.
Rinse the tank thoroughly with water to remove scale and vinegar solution.

END OF SEASON STORAGE

Follow the Cleaning and Descaling instructions when the humidifier will be stored at the end of the season.
Dry the humidifier completely before storing. DO NOT store with water inside the Base or Water Tank.
Pack the unit in its original carton and store in a cool, dry location.

NOTE: IF YOU EXPERIENCE A PROBLEM DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE MOTOR HOUSING YOURSELF. DOING SO MAY VOID YOUR WARRANTY AND CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE HUMIDIFIER OR PERSONAL INJURY.
