Q.Is it ok to put my humidifying discs in the dishwas-
her?
A.ThemanufacturerofthisappliancedoesNOTrecom
mendit.Theplatescanonlybeplacedinadishwasher
wherethetemperatureisnogreaterthan131°F/55ºC.
Ifthetemperatureisanyhotterthanthis,theplateswill
melt.Placetheplatesinasinkfilledwithwarmwater
andwhitevinegarorEZCalandeitherletthemsoakor

Q.Humidity level is not changing or does not reach
the desired humidity level

Reasonsforlowhumiditylevel:
• aircirculationisveryhigh(airisfullyexchangedse

• insulationofhome(seeaircirculation)
• openspacewithhighceilings(notonlythefootageof
