SET UP

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. Do not place unit directly on carpet, towels, blankets or other absorbent surfaces. Guardian Technologies will not accept responsibility for damage caused by water spillage.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

FILLING

GENERAL CLEANING

Always unplug the unit before servicing in any way.
Water tank. Remove the lid and empty the tank by pouring all the water out. Clean the inside of the tank with fresh water and a soft cloth or the cleaning brush.
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.
Remove the lid and empty the tank by pouring all the water out. Remove the tank from base.
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.
