Cleaning

xPre-filter- depending on the environment, the pre-filter may require cleaning every two weeks to every two months or more. The easiest way to clean the pre-filter is to vacuum it with a brush attachment.

If the pre-filter is exceptionally dirty, you may remove it from the unit (unplug the unit first) and wash it in a mild soap and water solution. Rinse it thoroughly and allow it to dry completely before reinstalling.

The dirtier the air filter is, the less airflow the unit can project.

xFabric water curtain- this should also be cleaned every two weeks to every two months, again depending upon the environment. Unplug the unit, remove the pre- filter, and gently remove the fabric water curtain (it should pull off the fastening strips). Wash it in a mild soap and water solution. Rinse it thoroughly and allow it to dry completely before reinstalling.

Clean the frame on which the water curtain rests with a mild soap and water solution before reinstalling the fabric water curtain.

xWater tank- depending on the environment, the water tank may require cleaning every two weeks to every two months or more. If the tank becomes dirty, mildewy, or acquires hard water deposits, unplug the unit, remove the water port door and carefully clean the inside of the tank with a soft cloth and a mild soap and water solution. Rinse out the solution and drain the unit as best you can, but take care not to get any of the unit’s electronics wet.

You can also rinse the water tank with a solution of 2 tablespoons vinegar in ½ gallon of water.

xExterior of the unit- unplug the unit. Carefully wash it with a mild soap and water solution and a soft cloth. Dry the unit with a soft cloth.
