Regular Care and Maintenance
IMPORTANT! Always unplug the unit before cleaning!
When to Clean the Humidifier
•Every third day during heating season
•Before storing.
•After long periods of storage.
•When cleaning inside of unit, keep water away from the air outlet. Exterior may be wiped with a damp cloth (except for electrical controls) when unit is off. Any part may be wiped with a damp cloth when unit is unplugged.
Sanitizing the Water Tank
•Use a mild bleach and water solution. Never use detergent.
Cleaning the Nebulizer and Water Sensor
1 Remove tank from base and empty reservoir.
2.Take the brush stored in base and clean off mineral deposits and debris
from nebulizer and water sensor.
Do not scrape or clean with tools that have metal parts.
3.Do not use detergent to clean any water containing parts of the unit. Detergent film dissolved in the water supply can interfere with the output of the unit.
4.The nebulizer (ultrasonic transducer) is highly sensitive. Keep this impor- tant part clean and treat it gently. Do not touch the nebulizer while the unit is operating, as possible burns could result. Do not touch the nebulizer with bare fingers. Any residue on the metal will reduce mist output.
Storing the Humidifier
•Make sure all parts are thoroughly dry.
•Leave the filling door of the tank loosened. This will keep the door and gasket from sticking together.
