Home Cleaning: Water Tank

WaRninG: Before cleaning the humidifier, always remove from the therapy device.
1. Turn the humidifier setting to 0, turn the therapy device off, and allow the heater plate and water to cool.
WaRninG: Allow the humidifier heater plate and water to cool down for approximately 15 minutes before
removing the water tank. A burn may result from: touching the heater plate, coming in contact with the heated
water, or touching the tank pan.
2. Open the humidifier door with the release lever, and then slide the water tank out of the humidifier base.
3. Press the tab in the hole on top of the tank in toward the front of the tank. Gently remove the tank lid from the
tank base. Empty any remaining water from the base of the tank.
4. Wash the parts of the tank in a solution of warm water and a mild liquid dish detergent. Gently wash the middle
seal. Rinse the parts with clean water. Wipe the parts completely on the top and bottom. Allow them to air dry.
WaRninG: Empty and clean the water tank daily to prevent mold and bacteria growth. Wipe the seal
completely.
5. Inspect the tank and seal for damage.
note: Never use the water tank if the tank lid does not fit comfortably on the tank base.
6. Before using the tank, fill it with distilled water (per the directions in the Daily Use section) no higher than the
maximum fill line located on the front and sides of the tank.
7. Reassemble the tank by placing the hinges on the tank lid over the 2 tabs on the back of the tank base. Close the
lid until the tab on the lid snaps back under the lip in the tank base. Inspect the tank. When it is closed correctly,
the lid should be seated completely on the middle seal and it should sit snugly on the tank base so the tab can
easily snap back in place. Inspect the water tank for any leaks or damage. If the water tank shows signs of wear or
damage, contact your home care provider for a replacement.
note: If the lid does not close easily onto the base, separate the two parts, reassemble the tank, and inspect it again.
