Cleaning the Humidifier and the Water Tank
Many regions have hard water with high
concentrations of minerals. When water
evaporates from The Care Free
Evaporative Humidifier, minerals may be left
behind. These minerals can form a hard white
scale which can be removed by following the
cleaning instructions. The frequency of cleaning
due to mineral build up can vary depending
upon the quality of water you may have.
refer to Figure 1 for part names.
