CLEANING YOUR HUMIDIFIER

To keep your humidifier running efficiently, clean it regularly. Weekly cleaning is recommended.
All maintenance should be done in the kitchen or bathroom on a water resistant surface near a faucet.
To properly clean your humidifier we recommend the separate processes of Scale Removal
and Disinfecting. These two processes must be performed separately.

Step 4 Step 5
1. Pour a minimum of 3 cups (.7 liters) of undiluted distilled white vinegar in the Water Tank.
Gently swish vinegar around in the Tank to wet entire inside of Tank.
2. Place Tank on Base. Vinegar will drain into the Water Reservoir and loosen mineral buildup
(scale) in the Reservoir and bottom of the Water Tank. There should be enough vinegar to
cover the bottom inside of the Tank.
3. Soak for 20 minutes, then remove Water Tank and slowly empty vinegar into sink.
Rinse with tap water until the smell of vinegar is gone.
4. Remove Float Paddle from Reservoir by lifting up on Float Rod and set aside.
Wipe Float Paddle and Reservoir area with a soft cloth to remove loosened minerals.
5. Empty vinegar from Base and Reservoir area; rinse with water until the smell of vinegar
is gone.
6. Place Float Paddle back in Reservoir, ensuring Float Rod is secured in brackets.
For detailed instructions, refer to the Float Paddle Installation section.
CAUTION: Improper placement of the Float Paddle could result in leaking
or water not feeding to the Reservoir.
