CLEANING (cont.)
DESCALING
• Depending on usage and water type, cleaning to remove scale may be required
weekly or every other week to optimize unit performance.
• If you live in a hard water area, we recommend the use of distilled water for your
humidifier. This will help reduce the precipitation of minerals or 'white dust'.
• Do not clean the unit or water tank with detergents or cleaning chemicals of any kind.
ULTRASONIC DISK
1. Unplug unit.
2. Remove the mist tube by rotating it counter clockwise.
Empty the tank by pouring all the water on the left side
(see arrow inside tank).
3. Locate the ultrasonic disk on the inside center of the base unit.
4. Use ONLY the enclosed cleaning brush to gently clean
disk and remove build up and deposits.
Do not scrub or scrape the ultrasonic disk.
Ultrasonic Disk
Clean the disk with the brush only. No other
cleaning tool should be used. BRUSH ONLY.
If scale becomes difficult to remove with brush:
1. Fill the tank with: mixture of 1 tsp. white vinegar and 1 tsp. water.
2. Let solution stand for 5 minutes.
3. With the vinegar in the tank, clean all interior surfaces with a soft cloth or brush to help remove scale.
4. Also check mist nozzle and mist tube in water tank. Clean as needed.
5. Rinse the tank thoroughly with water to remove scale and vinegar solution.
END OF SEASON STORAGE
• Follow the Cleaning and Descaling instructions when the humidifier will be stored at
the end of the season.
• Dry the humidifier completely before storing. DO NOT store with water inside the
Base or Water Tank.
• Pack the unit in its original carton and store in a cool, dry location.
NOTE: IF YOU EXPERIENCE A PROBLEM DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE MOTOR HOUSING
YOURSELF. DOING SO MAY VOID YOUR WARRANTY AND CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE HUMIDIFIER
