Brookstone BWM-2110 manual

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

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

7..Disinfect the water tank 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 tank completely; rinse thoroughly until all of the bleach smell is gone.. Fill the tank with fresh, cool water and replace it onto the humidifier base..

8..NEVER use any metal or hard objects to clean plastic parts—this may cause scratching of the plastic parts.. NEVER use gasoline, kerosene, glass cleaner, furniture polish, paint thinner or other household solvents to clean any part of the humidifier..

9..Each day the reservoir and tank should be drained, rinsed and refilled with fresh tap water..

10..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..

11..Replace tank.. Replace mineral absorption pad, if using.. Plug in the unit and resume normal use..
