Maintenance
Cleaning:
Note: ALWAYS unplug the humidier from the electrical outlet
before cleaning. NEVER allow water to sit in the tank when not in use.
Be careful when handling the water if warm humidication was selected. The remaining water may be hot. Do not submerse any part of the unit other than the Water Tank.
Cleaning the Water Tank -
Fill the Water Tank with a mixture of one (1) gallon of water and eight (8) ounces of white vinegar. Leave the mixture in the Water Tank for 20 minutes, giving the Water Tank a shake every few minutes. After 20 minutes, give the Water Tank a nal shake and discard the mixture.
Cleaning the Water Basin -
Dampen a cloth with a solution of vinegar and water. Wipe down the Water Basin (Figure 6) with the damp cloth. Rinse with cool water. DO NOT IMMERSE the Water Basin or hold Nebulizer (Figure 6) directly under the water tap.
Cleaning the Base -
Wipe all exteriors surfaces of the Base (Figure 5) with a soft, dry cloth. Do not immerse the Base in water or use water to clean the Base. As with any electrical appliance, an electrical shock may result or the humidier may be damaged.
Cleaning the Nebulizer -
There may be some lime deposits in the Nebulizer (Figure 6), particularly in areas with hard water. Overcome this by cleaning the Nebulizer with water and vinegar on a soft cloth regularly as follows:
• Dampen a cloth with vinegar and wipe the Nebulizer gently, 
until the lime deposits disappear completely.
• Gently clean with a dry cloth and remove the residue from the 
humidity/vapor.
Cleaning the Fan Vent -
It’s important that the Fan Vent area (Figure 7) is kept clean and free of obstructions. Simply wipe the Fan Vent with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid setting the humidier on a towel or carpeted surface as the Fan Vent may become blocked and cause the unit to overheat.
Cleaning the Water Level Sensor -
The Water Level Sensor is made up of the Plastic Cap, the Water Float, and the Pin. Wipe the parts with a soft damp cloth. Reassemble by rst putting the Water Float onto the Pin and then screwing the Plastic Cap onto the Pin. Figure 8.
