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.
4. Pour about 1 cup of white vinegar into either reservoir and allow it to soak
for only 20 to 30 minutes.
5. 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 and from the two metal water level probes (they appear like
two metal wires) 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.
6. Disinfect the water tank using a solution of one teaspoon of household chlo-
rine 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.
7. NEVER use any metal or hard objects to clean plastic parts which may
cause scratching of the plastic parts. The only exception to this is the metal
part of the hot water reservoir. A metal scraper can be used to clean this
part only. NEVER use gasoline, kerosene, glass cleaner, furniture polish,
paint thinner or other household solvents to clean any part of the humidifier.
8. Each day the reservoir and tank should be drained, rinsed and refilled with
fresh tap water.
9. 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.
10. Plug in the unit and resume normal use.

WARNING:
DO NOT use any liquid medication other than those specifically recommended
for use with a steam vaporizer or warm mist humidifier.
DO NOT pour medication directly into the mist outlet grille openings nor add it to
the water in the tank or tray.
MINERAL ABSORPTION PAD INSTRUCTIONS
Warm mist humidifiers do not spread fine mineral dust into the air that you
breathe nor on your furniture, the way that other type humidifiers do. The miner-
al dust remains trapped in the humidifier hot water reservoir. Use of Mineral
Absorption Pads will play a major role in capturing and removing minerals from
hot water reservoir, and preventing a stubborn mineral buildup.
1. Before starting humidifier, place mineral absorption pad in the hot water
reservoir. After the humidifier has been operating, the water will become
HOT, and CAUTION should be exercised when handling mineral absorption
pad. It is best to allow humidifier water to cool down, and to use tongs or
long tweezers when handling pad.
2. The useful life of the mineral absorption pad will vary, depending on the min-
eral content of the water used. In areas of moderate mineral content water
supply, the mineral absorption pad should be changed after approximately
(3) weeks of continuous use. If the water is “Hard Water”, the pad should be
changed more frequently. The best way to tell when the pad should be
changed is to examine it AFTER the water has cooled down, to see if it is
still soft and pliable. When the pad is near the end of its life, it becomes stiff
and hard and should be replaced with a new pad. Another sign to change
pad is when scale begins to buildup on interior of hot water reservoir.
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 can-
not be over-emphasized. Hard water contains more minerals and other particles.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Failure to perform the necessary cleaning steps will damage unit.
1. Before cleaning, set CONTROLS to “OFF” position and unplug unit.
2. Remove water tank from humidifier base, and drain water from tank.
3. Allow at least 15 minutes after shutting unit “OFF” before moving base, or
removing mineral absorption pad. Remove mineral absorption pad from hot
water reservoir using tweezers or tongs to prevent burns from hot water.
When the cleaning procedure is completed, replace mineral absorption pad.
To drain water from humidifier base, grasp with both hands and tilt to the
side, draining water into the sink. BE CAREFUL NOT TO HAVE DRAINING
