Cleaning and Maintenance
Proper cleaning of your Evaporative Vortex Humidifier is essential to the air quality and performance of your unit. The frequency in which your Humidifier will need to be cleaned will vary, depending on use, water hardness, and outside environmental factors. It is recommended, assuming average use, to thoroughly clean the unit several times throughout the season, or when algae, mineral deposits or other particles begin to form.
1.Turn the Humidifier Off and unplug. Do not submerge in water.
2.Remove the Power Head, Water Tanks and Filters from the base.
3.Empty the Base and Water Tanks, then rinse with clean tap water. As noted, depending on the quality of water in your home, impurities can build up quickly or may take some time. It is possible that some scale may form on the inside of the Base.
To Clean Water Tanks
1.Mix a solution of one (1) 8 oz. cup of undiluted white vinegar and 1 gallon of water. Fill the Water Tanks with the solution. Seal the fill spout with the palm of your hand and shake vigorously. Let the Water Tanks stand for 20 minutes.
