To ensure the proper and efficient operation of your humidifier, the following cleaning and maintenance procedures must be followed.

Failure to follow the recommended care and maintenance instructions could lead to a buildup of micro-organisms, including algae, bacteria, and mildew, which may lead to respiratory or other ailments in some individuals.
