CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SHOCK, ALWAYS UNPLUG HUMIDIFIER BEFORE
CLEANING OR SERVICING.
- Regular cleaning of your humidifier helps eliminate odors, bacterial and fungal growth.
-We recommend descaling/cleaning your humidifier once every two weeks (more often in areas
with hard water) and disinfecting your humidifier regularly to maintain your unit in optimum
operational condition.
-Always change your wicks at end of season or more often in hard water areas.
-We also recommend using an EPA-approved bacteriostat.
-Never use a water treatment intended for RotoBelt or Ultrasonic humidifiers.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1. Unplug humidifier and, if possible, roll humidifier to
area where floor coverings are not susceptible to
water damage, i.e.: kitchen or bath area.

3. Lift out wick assembly. You can separate the chimney
(E) from the wick plates (G), or leave them attached.
Carefully lift the wicks (F) out and place them in the
sink. Rinse wicks with cool, clean water and leave
them to drain in sink. Do not use soap, detergent or
any other cleaners on wick.
4. Remove the water level float (D) from the humidifier
cabinet by pinching the float retainer clip (C) to release
it from the cabinet.
Scoop out any water still in the bottom of the cabinet
(H). The cabinet should be empty and wiped out with a
soft cloth before performing regular cleaning or end of
season maintenance.
5. Regular Cleaning: (Recommended Biweekly)
De-scale the humidifier by filling cabinet with clean,
cool water to the MAX FILL line and adding 1 cup (8
oz.) of undiluted white vinegar. Let solution sit for 20
minutes.
With a soft, clean cloth, wipe the rest of the inside of
the cabinet and interior components with undiluted
white vinegar. A soft brush may be used to scrub stub-
born scale deposits inside cabinet, if necessary.
Rinse cabinet thoroughly with warm water to remove
scale and cleaning solution before proceeding to disin-
fecting the unit (as necessary).
NOTE: Do not use vinegar solution on exterior cabinet
finish. Use only water and soft, clean cloth to prevent
marring finish.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS. When reinstalling
rinsed wicks (F), be careful to support them with both
hands to avoid tearing them.
7. Disinfecting: (Recommended at end of season and if
you don’t plan to run the unit for more than a week)
Perform regular (biweekly) cleaning, then disinfect
your humidifier by pouring one (1) gallon of water and
one (1) teaspoon of chlorine bleach into the reservoir
and letting solution sit for 20 minutes. Swish solution
around for a few minutes, carefully avoiding splashing
bleach solution outside of cabinet (H). Wipe down all
interior surfaces with bleach solution. Rinse cabinet
and internal components with clean, warm water until
no bleach smell remains. Dispose of wicks (if end of
season). Allow interior of cabinet to dry completely.
