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

• Do not clean the unit or water tank with detergents or cleaning chemicals of any kind.

2. Remove the tank and empty all water from unit base and tank.

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.
Are minerals in your water producing white dust?
Try Decalcification Cartridge FLTDC.
Look for cartridge at your local retailer or visit www.guardiantechnologies.com
CLEANING
If scale becomes difficult to remove with brush:
1. Fill the Base 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.
