CARE AND CLEANING

Humidifiers provide comfort by adding moisture to dry indoor air. For maximized benefit
from your ReliOn Warm Mist Humidifier, follow instructions carefully. Please note that
this is an electric appliance and requires careful attention when in use.
Tap water may contain pollutants and minerals (scale) that can deposit on the inner surfaces of the Humidifier and adhere to the Heater element. Such scale can accelerate the
growth of microorganisms and can impair the performance of the Heater Element.

may result in the build up of mineral deposits and bacteria that can inhibit the output
efficiency of the humidifier. Please note that if water remains in the Water Tank for
more than a day or two, bacterial growth is possible.
