3.Carefully place medicine cup on top of steam diffuser

4.Turn the POWER switch to either the LO or HI position.

5.After use, remove the cup from the unit and clean any residue from the cup with warm water.

WARNING:

DO NOT use any liquid medication other than those specifically recommended for use with a steam vaporizer or warm mist humidifier.

DO NOT pour medication directly into the steam diffuser openings nor add it to the water in the tank or tray.

MINERAL ABSORPTION PAD INSTRUCTIONS

Warm mist humidifiers do not spread fine mineral dust into the air that you

breathe nor on your furniture, the way that other type humidifiers do. The miner- al dust remains trapped in the humidifier hot water reservoir. Use of mineral absorption pads will play a major role in capturing and removing minerals from

hot water reservoir, and preventing a stubborn mineral buildup.

1.Before starting humidifier, place mineral absorption pad in the hot water reservoir. After the humidifier has been operating, the water will become HOT, and CAUTION should be exercised when handling mineral absorption pad. It is best to allow humidifier water to cool down, and to use tongs or long tweezers when handling pad.

2.The useful life of the mineral absorption pad will vary, depending on the min- eral content of the water used. In areas of moderate mineral content water supply, the mineral absorption pad should be changed after approximately

(3)weeks of continuous use. If the water is “Hard Water”, the pad should be changed more frequently. The best way to tell when the pad should be

changed is to examine it AFTER the water has cooled down, to see if it is still soft and pliable. When the pad is near the end of its life, it becomes stiff and hard and should be replaced with a new pad. Another sign to change

pad is when scale begins to buildup on interior of hot water reservoir.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Water contains minerals and other particles. During operation most of these min- erals will remain in the water reservoir. Gradual buildup of deposits will coat the hot water reservoir and reduce its efficiency. The importance of routine cleaning and care cannot be over-emphasized. Hard water contains more minerals and

other particles.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

Failure to perform the necessary cleaning steps will damage unit.

1.Before cleaning, set CONTROLS to “OFF” position and unplug unit.

2.Remove water tanks from humidifier base, and drain water from tanks.

3.Allow at least 15 minutes after shutting unit “OFF” before moving base.

Rotate steam diffuser counterclockwise until steam diffuser slots line up with tabs in base, and lift up. Rotate steam dome until steam dome slots line up with tabs in base and lift out. Remove mineral absorption pad from hot water reservoir using tweezers or tongs to prevent burns from hot water. When the cleaning procedure is completed, replace mineral absorption pad. To

drain water from humidifier base, grasp with both hands and tilt to the side, draining water into the sink. BE CAREFUL NOT TO HAVE DRAINING

WATER FALL INTO CONTROLS OR VENT OPENINGS. DO NOT drain in

 

any manner other than indicated.

WARNING:

DO NOT place directly under

running faucet. Turn the base upside down and remove the drain tube cap by turning it counterclockwise. Clean out any foreign matter that has accu- mulated inside the fitting from which the cap was removed. After cleaning, replace this cap tightly by hand. Pour a small amount of water into the hot water reservoir and check for leaks from this cap under the base.

4.Pour about 1 cup of white vinegar into either reservoir and allow it to soak for only 20 to 30 minutes.

5.Hold the base of the humidifier over the sink and tilt it on its side to empty the vinegar. Fill the cold and hot water reservoirs with clean, warm water to remove all traces of the vinegar. Remove any buildup of minerals in the hot water reservoir and from the two metal water level probes (they appear like two metal wires) using a small brush, such as a toothbrush. NOTE: The buildup is due to water hardness. The harder your water, the more often this maintenance will be needed. Empty all of this water by turning the unit on

its side. If minerals remain in the metal (stainless steel) boiler cup, the stainless steel blade in the steam dome can be inserted into the boiler

cup and used to scrape off the mineral deposits. Be careful not to use this blade on any plastic parts.

DO NOT ALLOW WATER TO ENTER THE BOTTOM OF THE HUMIDIFIER BASE OR ANY OTHER OPENINGS, OR IMMERSE THE CORD AND PLUG.

6.Disinfect the water tanks using a solution of one teaspoon of household

chlorine bleach in 1 gallon of water. Let the solution sit for 20 minutes, swishing every few minutes to wet all surfaces. Empty the tanks completely; rinse thoroughly until all of the bleach smell is gone. Fill the tanks with fresh, cool water and replace them onto the humidifier base.

7. NEVER use any metal or hard objects to clean plastic parts which may cause scratching of the plastic parts. The only exception to this is the metal part of the hot water reservoir. A metal scraper can be used to clean this part only. Stainless steel metal scraper in steam dome can be used on stain-

less steel metal boiler cup only. NEVER use gasoline, kerosene, glass

cleaner, furniture polish, paint thinner or other household solvents to clean any part of the humidifier.

8.Each day the reservoirs and tanks should be drained, rinsed and refilled with fresh tap water.

9.To clean exterior surfaces, use a solution of water and mild detergent with a wrung-out damp cloth. Rinse and wring out the cloth and wipe the exterior surfaces again. Finally, wipe with a dry cloth. Allow sufficient time to dry before plugging the electrical cord into the outlet.
