CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before cleaning, please note the following:

•DO NOT use soap, detergents, abrasives, gasoline, glass or furniture polish, or boiling water to clean any part of your humidifier. These will interfere with the proper operation of your humidifier.

•DO NOT use sharp or metal objects to clean mineral deposits in the tray or element. Contact with sharp objects can result in damage to the plastic.

•We recommend that the tray be rinsed daily and that the unit be allowed to run out of water every second day.

•Mineral deposits should be soaked in BIONAIRE®’s Clean-Away®solution or plain vinegar. DO NOT operate unit while it is soaking!

•DO NOT clean any part of your humidifier in the dish washer.

•NEVER mix bleach and Clean-Away®solution.

Cleaning instructions:

1.Turn the unit off and unplug it.

2.Remove the water tank; then, unlock the misting chamber by rotating the latch (Figure 6) and lift it from the unit’s

3.Empty water and minerals from the tray and fill with Clean-Away®solution. Replace the tray and misting chamber in the base. (This will submerse the element in the cleaning solution). Soak for a minimum of 20 minutes to a maximum of 30 minutes.

4.Rinse the tray and heating element with clean warm water. All traces of Clean-Away®on both the element and the tray must be thoroughly rinsed off before disinfecting. Inspect the heating element (see Figure 8) for scale buildup. If present, please see “Special Maintenance - Heating Element” for further cleaning instructions.

NOTE: DO NOT ALLOW WATER TO ENTER THE AIR OUTLET GRILL OR ANY OTHER OPENINGS.
