Cleaning & Care

Cleaning

  •  Always unplug the unit before servicing in any way.

 General Cleaning

  • Unit Base: Pour excess water out of the unit. Wash out the unit with freshwater using the cleaning brush and a soft cloth as needed. Do not submerge the base of the unit in water or allow water to enter inside the dry air exhaust port of the unit.
  • Water tank: Empty water tank. Remove mist nozzle and clean the mist tube with fresh water and a light brush (a bottle cleaning brush is recommended).
  • Outer surface: Wipe the surface of the unit with a soft, damp cloth if needed. If you notice an accumulation of water during usage, reduce humidity and dry outer surface with a cloth.

 Descaling

  •  Depending on usage and water type, cleaning to remove scale may be required weekly or every other week to optimise unit performance.
  • If you live in a hard water area, it is recommended to use distilled water for your humidifier. This will help reduce the precipitation of minerals or white dust.
  • Do not clean the unit or water tank with detergents or cleaning chemicals of any kind.

 Ultrasonic Disk

  • Unplug unit.
  • Remove the tank and empty all water from the unit base and tank.
  • Locate the ultrasonic disk on the inside centre of the base unit.
  • Use ONLY the enclosed cleaning brush to gently clean disk and remove build-up and deposits.
  • Do not scrub or scrape the ultrasonic disk.

If scale becomes difficult to remove with a brush:

  1. Fill the base with a mixture of 1 tsp. white vinegar and 1 tsp. water.
  2. Let the solution stand for 5 minutes.
  3. With the vinegar in the base, clean all interior surfaces with a soft cloth or brush to help remove scale.
  4. Check mist nozzle and mist tube in the water tank. Clean as needed.
  5. Rinse the base thoroughly with water to remove scale and vinegar solution.

End of Season Storage

  • Follow the Cleaning and Descaling instructions when the humidifier will be stored at the end of the season.
  • Dry the humidifier completely before storing. DO NOT store with water inside the base or water tank.
  • Pack the unit in its original carton and store in a cool, dry location.

Note: if you experience a problem, do not attempt to open the motor housing yourself. Doing so may void the warranty and cause damage to the humidifier or personnel.
