Cleaning and Maintenance
You can ensure many years of trouble free operation of your Clean Air Optima
humidifier by following a few simple maintenance procedures. If your water is hard, containing
high concentrations of calcium and other minerals, then over a period of time white dust will
start to deposit on the various surfaces in the room. A white, film-like substance will also start
to develop in the water basin, on the transducer and on the inner surface of the water tank.
This white film will impede the proper function of the transducer and the operation of the
machine.
We recommend the following
1. If you are using the device on a daily basis, clean the transducer, water tank and basin once
a week.
2. When the water tank needs a refill, empty the remaining water from the tank and fill it with
fresh water.
3. Clean the whole device and make sure to keep all the parts completely dry when the device
is not in use.
How to clean the transducer
1. Place 5-10 drops of vinegar on the surface of the transducer and wait for 2-5 minutes.
2. Using a small brush, cotton swab or tooth brush, gently clean the mineral film from the
surface of the transducer.
3. Rinse the transducer with clean water.
4. Never use sharp or solid objects for cleaning the transducer
How to clean the water basin
1. Clean the water basin with a soft damp cloth. If there is excess film on the surfaces, then
soak the cloth with vinegar and repeat the process.
2. If there is a film in any of the depressions along the basin, drop a bit of vinegar into
depression and clean it out with a brush.
3. Rinse the basin with clean water.
