Water Quality and Your Humidifier
High mineral content in your water, also known as "hard water" may cause a white mineral residue to
accumulate on surfaces in the room near the humidifier. This mineral residue is commonly referred to
as "White Dust." The higher the mineral content or hardness of your water, the greater the potential
that you may have white dust. "White Dust" is not a result of a defect or flaw in the humidifier. It is
a result of the amount of minerals suspended in the water you are using. If you live in a hard water
area, the use of distilled water will minimize the production of white dust.
The use of a Protec Demineralization cartridge (PDC51CV2) will
help reduce white dust. For best results replace as necessary
(every 2-4 weeks, or 15-30 fillings under normal use) or when
the humidifier has not been run for an extended period of time.
Weekly Cleaning
It is recommended that you empty the Water Tank and Reservoir when the unit is not in use and
let them air dry. To keep your humidifier running efficiently, clean it regularly. Weekly cleaning is
recommended. To properly clean your humidifier we recommend the separate processes of Scale
Removal and Disinfecting shown below. These two processes must be performed separately.
CAUTION: BEFORE MOVING HUMIDIFIER BASE, TURN OFF, UNPLUG AND EMPTY THE
TANK. All maintenance should be done in the kitchen or bathroom on a water resistant surface
near a faucet. DO NOT wash any components of this humidifier in the dishwasher.
Instructions for Scale Removal
Step 1
Step 2
Step 4
Step 5
MINUTES
1.
Turn off and unplug the humidifier.
2.
Remove any accessories, and wipe any remaining residue from the Inhalant Cup.
3.
Remove Water Tank from Base. Remove Tank Cap, taking care that the black rubber Cap Seal
does not come off. Empty water from Water Tank and Base.
4.
Add 2 cups of undiluted, distilled white vinegar to Water Tank.
Replace Tank Cap and swish vinegar solution around in Tank. Place Tank on Base. Vinegar
solution will drain into Water Reservoir and loosen mineral buildup (scale) on Nebulizer and
Float as they soak in the solution. It will also loosen scale on bottom of Water Tank. DO NOT
run humidifier with vinegar solution.
5.
Allow the vinegar to remain in Tank and on Base for 15-20 minutes.
