Cleaning

3. Rinse the humidifier and air tubing thoroughly and allow to dry out of direct sunlight and/or heat.

Notes:
• Empty the humidifier daily and wipe it thoroughly with a clean, disposable cloth. Allow to dry out
of direct sunlight and/or heat.
• The humidifier may be washed in a dishwasher on the delicate or glassware cycle (top shelf
only). It should not be washed at temperatures higher than 65ºC.
• The tubing wrap should be hand washed or dry cleaned only. Hand washing your tubing wrap
does not replace the need to clean your air tubing.
• Do not wash the air tubing in a dishwasher or washing machine.
Checking
You should regularly check the humidifier, air tubing and the air filter for any damage.
1. Check the humidifier:
• Replace it if it is leaking or has become cracked, cloudy or pitted.
• Replace it if the seal is cracked or torn.
• Remove any white powder deposits using a solution of one-part household vinegar to
10 parts water.
2. Remove the tubing wrap and check the air tubing is clean and replace it if there are any holes,
tears or cracks.
3. Check the air filter and replace it at least every six months. Replace more often if there are any
holes or blockages by dirt or dust.
To replace the air filter:
1. Open the air filter cover and remove the old air filter.
The air filter is not washable or reusable.
2. Place a new air filter onto the air filter cover and then close it.
Make sure the air filter is fitted at all times to prevent water and dust from entering the device.
