MINUTES
1.
Mix 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water with 1 teaspoon of bleach. Pour the bleach solution into the Tank.
Note: Using more than 1 teaspoon of bleach to 1 gallon (3.8L) of water may result in damage
to the humidifier.
2.
Place Tank on Base. Bleach solution will drain into the Water Reservoir. If not using
a dishwasher, the Mist Outlet, Outlet Cover, Mist Chamber and Tank Cover can be soaked
in the Tank. Just add additional bleach solution to cover the components in the Water Tank.
3.
Soak for 20 minutes, then remove the Water Tank and slowly empty bleach solution into
sink. Remove components placed in Tank. Rinse Tank and components with tap water until
the smell of bleach is gone.
4.
Remove Float Paddle from Reservoir by lifting up on Float Rod and set aside.
5.
Empty bleach solution from the Reservoir by pouring from the low side of the Housing on the
opposite side from the Mist Outlet and away from Power Knob. Pour 1.5 cups of water into
Reservoir, lightly swish water and pour out. Repeat until smell of bleach is gone. Avoid
getting water into any openings in the Reservoir area by pouring from the low side of the
Housing on the opposite side from the Mist Outlet and away from Power Knob.
CAUTION: Do not submerge the Base in water. Doing so may damage the humidifier
and void the warranty.
Wipe outside of housing to dry any water that may have escaped between Base and Housing.
