Care and Maintenance
IMPORTANT: We recommend cleaning your humidifier every two weeks.
Follow Instructions.
Humidifiers provide comfort by adding moisture to dry, heated indoor
air. To get the most benefit from the humidifier and avoid product
misuse, follow all instructions carefully, specifically the operation, care
and maintenance guidelines. Please note this is an electrical appliance
and requires careful attention when in use. In addition, if you do not
follow the recommended care and maintenance guidelines,
microorganisms may be able to grow in the water within the
humidifier’s reservoir.
CAUTION: Disconnect power before cleaning or servicing unit.
1) Turn unit off by turning the humidistat and the fan speed switch to the
off position.
2) Unplug electrical cord from wall outlet.
3) Lift chassis unit with outlet grille from cabinet and place on a hard, flat
surface where it will not be bumped. Use care to avoid damage to the
internal float lever.
Cleaning the Water Reservoir:
4) Carefully lift the wick frame assembly from cabinet, allowing any
water to drain from the wick into the water reservoir. Place wick
assembly in sink to finish draining. Handle wick carefully, paper
is fragile when wet
5) Remove the lift rod and float assembly. (see Assembly Section for
instructions.)
6) Remove any remaining water in the reservoir. After the water is
removed, add 1 gallon of fresh warm water and 8 oz. of undiluted
white vinegar. Clean all interior surfaces using a soft brush and the
cleaning solution. Let the solution stand for 20 minutes. Remove the
solution and wipe out the bottom with a soft cloth dampened with
white vinegar to remove any remaining scale.
