CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTION
The following maintenance procedures
must be routinely followed in order to
ensure proper, efficient operation of your
humidifier. The unit WILL FAIL if it is not
cleaned properly.
Regular cleaning prevents scale build-up on the
heating element and tray. It also prevents micro-
organisms from growing on the tray and tank. This
ensures that maximum efficiency will be achieved.
We cannot over-emphasize how essential proper
cleaning is to the maintenance and continued use
of your unit and the avoidance of algae or bacteria
build-up.
Regular Maintenance
1. Be sure the unit is OFF and is disconnected
from the electrical outlet.
2. Remove the Water Tank then unlock the
Housing by moving the two Locks towards the
front of the humidifier. Lift the Housing from the
Base.
3. Empty water and minerals from the Base and
place in the top rack of the dishwasher.
NOTE: the Base is dishwasher safe
TOP RACK ONLY.
4. Drain the water from the Tank into the sink and
rinse tank thoroughly. Leave to dry.
5. Wipe the Heating Element clean with a soft
cloth after it has had a chance to cool.
The Electronic Thermal Control Heating
element is lined with a Teflon® coating that is
designed to provide the easiest cleaning and
prolong the operating efficiency of the
Humidifier. DO NOT use any metal or hard
objects to clean the Heating Element
6. Replace the Housing and lock onto the Base.
7. Follow Operating Instructions.
NOTE: Never use detergents, gasoline, kerosene,
glass cleaner, furniture polish, paint thinner or and
other household solvent to clean any part of the
Humidifier.
De-scaling Maintenance
Scale needs to be removed as it becomes
noticeable. We recommend using Bionaire
TM
Clean Away - Humidifier cleaning solution.
Apply Solution with a plastic brush to scale
surfaces.
Let it soak until residue is softened.
For cleaning the tank, mix 2 capsules of solution
with 2 litres of water. Let mixture stand for
several minutes, swishing every few minutes.
Drain solution and THOROUGHLY RINSE
the tank.
1. Repeat steps 1-3 in the Maintenance section.
2. Clean the tray by partially filling the tray with
200ml of undiluted white vinegar. If the element
is heavily scaled, plug the humidifier into an
electrical socket and turn it ON for no longer
than 15 seconds. After this time turn the
humidifier OFF and unplug it from the electrical
outlet.
