CLEANING YOUR HUMIDIFIER
To keep your humidifier running efficiently, clean it regularly. Weekly cleaning is recommended. All maintenance
should be done in the kitchen or bathroom on a water-resistant surface near a faucet.
To properly clean your humidifier, we recommend the separate processes of Scale Removal and Disinfecting.
These two processes must be performed separately.
Before Cleaning
1. Turn off and unplug humidifier. NEVER clean the humidifier when it is running. If the humidifier has recently
been in use, wait at least 2030 minutes for unit to cool before beginning cleaning process.
2. Remove any accessories, and empty oils from the Essential Oil Cup. Then remove and empty Water Tank and
set aside.
3. Pull red Locking Latch toward front of unit (a) and lift Mist Chimney up (b) to remove. Remove Water Tray from
Base by pulling up from the Tab (c) and the opening in front of the Latch, then empty Water Tray.
4. Replace Water Tray and Mist Chimney. These must be in place for cleaning.
See Reassembling instructions after Cleaning your Humidifier section for reference.
Scale Removal
Keeping the Heating Element free of scale will help the humidifier to run efficiently.
1. Remove Water Tank and slowly pour 2 cups (0.5 liters) of undiluted, distilled white vinegar into the Reservoir
on the Water Tray. DO NOT pour vinegar over the red Locking Latch. Only pour into the deep Reservoir.
NOTE: Pour slowly to give enough time for vinegar to flow from the Reservoir into the Heating Chamber.
The vinegar will slowly begin to fill the Heating Chamber, located under the Mist Chimney. Let soak for 20
minutes to loosen scale on the Heating Element.
For Tank scale removal:
While Heating Element is soaking, pour additional vinegar into the Water Tank, replace Tank Cap and swish to
coat inside of Water Tank. Use a cloth dampened with vinegar to wipe away any scale on the inside of the
Water Tank and Tank Cap. Empty vinegar and rinse Tank until the smell of vinegar is gone.
