Brookstone BWM-2110 Humidifier User Manual


 
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Water contains minerals and other particles. During operation, most of these minerals
will remain in the water reservoir. Gradual buildup of deposits will coat the hot water
reservoir and reduce its efficiency. The importance of routine cleaning and care cannot
be over-emphasized. Hard water contains more minerals and other particles.
If a mineral absorption pad appears to disintegrate (normally due to use of softened
water), discontinue use of pads.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT! Failure to perform the necessary cleaning steps will damage unit.
1. Before cleaning, set CONTROLS to OFF position and unplug unit.
2. Allow at least 15 minutes for the hot water to cool after shutting unit OFF before
moving base, or removing mineral absorption pad.
3. Remove water tank from humidifier base, and drain water from tank. To drain water
from humidifier base, grasp with both hands and tilt to the side, draining water into
the sink.
4. Remove mineral absorption pad from hot water reservoir using tweezers or tongs to
prevent burns from hot water.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO HAVE DRAINING WATER FALL INTO CONTROLS
OR VENT OPENINGS. DO NOT drain in any manner other than indicated.
WARNING: DO NOT place directly under running faucet. Turn the base upside down
and remove the cap by turning it counterclockwise. Clean out any foreign matter that
has accumulated inside the fitting from which the cap was removed. After cleaning,
replace this cap tightly by hand. Pour a small amount of water into the hot water
reservoir and check for leaks from this cap under the base.
