GENERAL CLEANING

Always unplug the unit before servicing in any way.
Water tank. Empty the tank to clean. Clean the inside of the tank with fresh water and a soft cloth or the cleaning brush. To clean the inside of the upper mist tube (inside the tank) first remove the mist spout by pulling it directly off. Then twist the mist tube in a counter clockwise direction and pull it out. To remove the lower mist tube (underside of the tank) twist it in a counter clockwise direction and pull it out. Clean the insides of both pieces with a brush and water. Return both pieces by rotating them in a clockwise direction until snug and then snapping the mist spout back onto the upper mist tube. When returning tank to base, position the tank by aligning the two lines on the side of the tank.
Outer surface of the unit. Wipe the lid and 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.
Empty the tank and any remaining water in the base of the tank by pouring out all of the water.
Locate the ultrasonic disk on the inside center 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.
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 mist tube in water tank. Clean as needed.
Rinse the tank thoroughly with water to remove scale and vinegar solution.
