For Step 4: Add ½ tsp of bleach to ½ gallon (1.9L) of water and add to Tank. Replace
Tank Cap. Swish solution around in Tank. Place Tank on Base. Bleach solution will drain into
Reservoir and will disinfect Reservoir and other components as they soak.
NOTE: Using more than ½ tsp of bleach to ½ gallon of water may result in damage to your
humidifier.
See steps 5-7 in Scale Removal Instructions in previous section to complete Disinfecting process.
NOTE: DO NOT mix vinegar and bleach solutions together. Scale Removal and Disinfecting
must be done separately.
