Follow steps 1-4 under Before Cleaning, then follow the additional steps below.
NOTE: REMOVE FILTER BEFORE CLEANING. Failure to remove filter during cleaning will destroy
the filter.
1.
Pour 2 cups of undiluted distilled white vinegar into the Water Tank. Replace Tank Cap
and secure tightly by turning clockwise (to right). Swish vinegar around in Tank to wet
entire inside.
2.
Ensure that the Removable Tray is in place and place Tank on Base. Vinegar solution
will drain into Removable Tray and loosen mineral buildup (scale) in Water Tank. Soak
for 20 minutes.
3.
Empty vinegar from Water Tank. With vinegar in the Removable Tray, clean all interior surfaces
with a soft cloth or brush to help remove scale.
4.
Rinse Water Tank and Removable Tray with water until the smell of vinegar is gone and empty
into sink. DO NOT pour water into the Base or near any electrical components.
NOTE: Consider using Protec Antimicrobial Cleaning Products (PC1, PC2 and PC1F Series) to keep
your humidifier cleaner longer. These continuously clean and protect against bacteria and mold. They
help prevent the buildup of slime in the water and on humidifier surfaces. The Protec Cleaning Prod-
ucts will keep your humidifier cleaner longer between cleanings. However, your humidifier still needs
to be cleaned regularly.
