How to Clean
The evaporative, wick-type humidifier
adds moisture to the air in the form of
water vapor, by using a fan to force air
through a moistened-filter medium.
To ensure the proper and efficient
operation of your humidifier, the
following cleaning and maintenance
procedures must be followed.
Failure to follow the recommended care
and maintenance instructions could
lead to a buildup of micro-organisms,
including algae, bacteria, and mildew,
which may lead to respiratory or other
ailments in some individuals.
Cleaning the Humidifier
Wipe the fan enclosure, control knob, and cord with a damp cloth or sponge.
Weekly Maintenance:
1. Turn off humidifier and unplug it from
electrical outlet.
2. Lift off water tank and remove filter.
3. Remove water tank and tray and
carry them to the sink. Pour any
remaining water into the sink.
4. To remove scale caused by hard
water deposits and to clean the tank
and water tray, these parts can be
either cleaned in a dishwasher or
washed by hand.
5. Inspect the filter each week. If it
becomes hard to the touch, or
shows discoloration (caused by
mineral deposits or mold/mildew
buildup), it should be replaced.
See page 12 for information about
ordering a replacement filter.
6. After cleaning and drying all parts,
follow the instructions on pages 5-6
to reassemble the humidifier. If the
