Brookstone BWM-2110 Humidifier User Manual


 
5. Pour about 1 cup of white vinegar into either reservoir and allow it to soak for only
20 to 30 minutes.
6. Hold the base of the humidifier over the sink and tilt it on its side to empty the vinegar.
Fill the cold and hot water reservoirs with clean, warm water to remove all traces of
the vinegar. Remove any buildup of minerals in the hot water reservoir using a small
brush, such as a toothbrush. NOTE: The buildup is due to water hardness. The harder
your water, the more often this maintenance will be needed. Empty all of this water
by turning the unit on its side. DO NOT ALLOW WATER TO ENTER THE BOTTOM
OF THE HUMIDIFIER BASE OR ANY OTHER OPENINGS, OR IMMERSE THE
CORD AND PLUG.
7. Disinfect the water tank using a solution of one teaspoon of household chlorine bleach
in 1 gallon of water. Let the solution sit for 20 minutes, swishing every few minutes to
wet all surfaces. Empty the tank completely; rinse thoroughly until all of the bleach smell
is gone. Fill the tank with fresh, cool water and replace it onto the humidifier base.
8. NEVER use any metal or hard objects to clean plastic parts—this may cause scratching
of the plastic parts. NEVER use gasoline, kerosene, glass cleaner, furniture polish,
paint thinner or other household solvents to clean any part of the humidifier.
9. Each day the reservoir and tank should be drained, rinsed and refilled with fresh
tap water.
10. To clean exterior surfaces, use a solution of water and mild detergent with a wrung-out
damp cloth. Rinse and wring out the cloth and wipe the exterior surfaces again.
Finally, wipe with a dry cloth. Allow sufficient time to dry before plugging the electrical
cord into the outlet.
11. Replace tank. Replace mineral absorption pad, if using. Plug in the unit and resume
normal use.
