CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
The following maintenance procedures must be
routinely followed in order to ensure proper,
efficient operation of your humidifier. The unit
WILL NOT WORK CORRECTLY if it is not cleaned
properly.
When the unit is in use, daily and weekly maintenance is
recommended. Regular weekly cleaning prevents scale
buildup on the heating element and tray. It also prevents
micro-organisms from growing on the tray and tank. This
ensures that maximum efficiency will be achieved.
We cannot over-emphasize how essential proper
cleaning is to the maintenance and continued use
of your unit and to the avoidance of algae or
bacteria build-up.
DAILY MAINTENANCE
Allow to cool before maintenance.
1. Before cleaning, switch OFF the humidifier and
unplug the unit from the electrical outlet.
2. Remove the water tank then unlock the humidifier
housing by rotating the safety lock clockwise. Lift
housing up from the humidifier base (see Figure 2).
3. Empty water and minerals from the base and place in
the top rack of the dishwasher. This will remove any
sediment and dirt that has accumulated in the base.

NOTE: It is imperative that the base is cleaned properly.
The base is dishwasher safe (top rack ONLY) for easy cleaning.
4. Wipe the heating element clean with a soft cloth after
it has had a chance to cool.
5. Replace misting chamber and engage safety lock. The
Electronic Thermal Control Heating element is lined with
a coating that is designed to provide the easiest cleaning
and prolong the operating efficiency of the humidifier.
DO NOT use any metal or hard objects to clean the
Heating Element. Never use detergents, gasoline,
kerosene, glass cleaner, furniture polish, paint thinner or
other household solvents to clean any part of the
humidifier.
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
Remove Scale: Allow to cool before maintenance.
1. Repeat steps 1-5 in the Daily Maintenance section.

and heating element shroud with a soft brush.
Dampen a cloth with undiluted white vinegar and
wipe out entire tray/base, heating element and
heating element shroud area to remove scale.
3. Rinse with clean warm water to remove scale and the
white vinegar solution before beginning to disinfect
the tank.
4. Wipe the heating element clean with a soft cloth after
it has had chance to cool.
Disinfect tank:
1. Fill tank with 1/2 teaspoon of chlorine bleach and
1/2 gallon (1.9L) of water.
2. Let the solution stand for 20 minutes, swishing every
few minutes. Wet all surfaces.
3. Empty the tank after 20 minutes, and rinse well with
water until the bleach smell is gone. Dry with a clean
cloth or paper towel.
4. Refill the water tank with cool water; replace the
water tank. Repeat ALL Operating Instructions.
