WEEKLY CLEANING
We recommend cleaning the humidifier once a week, more often if you have hard water, notice a build up of impurities or detect unpleasant odors.
Cleaning involves two steps SCALE REMOVAL and DISINFECTING. Be sure to perform these in the proper order to avoid harmful chemical interactions.
•First, turn off and unplug the humidifier.
•Remove the Water Tank.
•Remove the Filter from the Base.
•Empty any water from the Base.
NOTE: REMOVE FILTER BEFORE CLEANING.
Failure to remove filter during cleaning will destroy the filter.
STEP ONE:
SCALE REMOVAL
REMOVABLE TRAY
1. Fill the Removable Tray with:
• 1 cup (8 ozs.) of undiluted white vinegar
2.Let solution stand for 20 minutes.
3.With the vinegar in the Removable Tray, clean all interior surfaces with a soft cloth or brush to help remove scale.
4.Rinse thoroughly with water to remove scale and cleaning solution.
STEP TWO:
DISINFECTING
Water Tank/Removable TRAY

•1 teaspoon of household bleach and
•1 gallon of water
