Cleaning The Humidiﬁer And The Water Tank

ENGLISH

Many regions have hard water with high concentrations of minerals. When water evaporates from the Care Free® Warm Mist Humidiﬁer, minerals may be left behind. These minerals can form a hard white scale which can be removed by following the cleaning instructions. The frequency of cleaning due to mineral build up varies depending on the quality of water you have. Failure to perform the necessary cleaning steps can damage the unit and affect performance.

NOTE:

The Water Tank, Tank Cap, Medicine Cup, Boiler Cover, Boiling Chamber, and Exhaust Grille are dishwasher safe in the top rack only.

1. Push the POWER button to turn the unit OFF (the indicator light will be OFF) and unplug the humidiﬁer.

2. Remove the Water Tank and carry it to a
