CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTION

The following maintenance procedures must be routinely followed in order to ensure proper, efficient operation of your humidifier. The unit WILL FAIL if it is not cleaned properly.

Regular cleaning prevents scale build-up 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 the avoidance of algae or bacteria build-up.

Regular Maintenance

1.Be sure the unit is OFF and is disconnected from the electrical outlet.

2.Remove the Water Tank then unlock the Housing by moving the two Locks towards the front of the humidifier. Lift the Housing from the Base.

3.Empty water and minerals from the Base and

place in the top rack of the dishwasher.

NOTE: the Base is dishwasher safe

TOP RACK ONLY.

4.Drain the water from the Tank into the sink and rinse tank thoroughly. Leave to dry.

5.Wipe the Heating Element clean with a soft cloth after it has had a chance to cool.

The Electronic Thermal Control Heating element is lined with a Teflon® 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

6.Replace the Housing and lock onto the Base.

7.Follow Operating Instructions.

NOTE: Never use detergents, gasoline, kerosene, glass cleaner, furniture polish, paint thinner or and other household solvent to clean any part of the Humidifier.

De-scaling Maintenance

Scale needs to be removed as it becomes noticeable. We recommend using BionaireTM Clean Away - Humidifier cleaning solution. Apply Solution with a plastic brush to scale surfaces.

Let it soak until residue is softened.

For cleaning the tank, mix 2 capsules of solution with 2 litres of water. Let mixture stand for several minutes, swishing every few minutes. Drain solution and THOROUGHLY RINSE

the tank.

1.Repeat steps 1-3 in the Maintenance section.

2.Clean the tray by partially filling the tray with 200ml of undiluted white vinegar. If the element is heavily scaled, plug the humidifier into an electrical socket and turn it ON for no longer than 15 seconds. After this time turn the humidifier OFF and unplug it from the electrical outlet.

Let solution stand 20 minutes, cleaning all interior surfaces with a soft brush. Dampen a cloth with undiluted white vinegar and wipe out entire tray 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 a chance to cool.

Disinfect tank:

1.Fill tank with 1 teaspoon of bleach and 3.5 litres 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. Leave to dry

4.Refill the water tank with cool water; replace the water tank. Repeat Operating Instructions.
