Cleaning Your Humidifier (Continued)
1. Pour a minimum of 2 cups (.5 liters) of undiluted distilled white vinegar in the Water Tank. 
 Gently swish vinegar around in the Tank to wet entire inside of Tank. 
2. Place Tank on Base. Vinegar will drain into the Water Reservoir and loosen mineral buildup 
 (scale) in the Reservoir and bottom of the Water Tank. There should be enough vinegar to 
 cover the bottom of the Tank. If not using a dishwasher, the four removable components can 
 be soaked in the Tank. Just add enough vinegar to cover the components in the Water Tank.
3. Soak for 20 minutes, then remove Water Tank and slowly empty vinegar into sink. Remove 
 components placed in Tank. Rinse Tank and components with tap water until the smell of 
 vinegar is gone.
4. Remove Float Paddle from Reservoir by lifting up on Float Rod and set aside. 
 Wipe Nebulizer and Reservoir area with a soft cloth to remove loosened minerals. 
5. Empty vinegar from the Reservoir by slowly pouring from the low side of the Housing on the 
 opposite side from the Mist Outlet and away from Power Knob. Pour 1.5 cups of water into 
 Reservoir, lightly swish water and pour out. Repeat until smell of vinegar is gone. Avoid 
 getting water into any openings in the Reservoir area by pouring from the low side of the 
 Housing on the opposite side from the Mist Outlet and away from Power Knob. 
 CAUTION: Do not submerge the Base in water. Doing so may damage the 
 humidifier and void the warranty.
6. Place Float Paddle back in Reservoir, ensuring Float Rod is secured in brackets. 
 For detailed instructions, refer to the Float Paddle Installation section. 
 CAUTION: Improper placement of the Float Paddle could result in leaking or 
 water not feeding to the Reservoir.
 Wipe outside of housing to dry any water that may have escaped between Base and Housing.

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.

 on the bottom of the Reservoir. Place Float Rod over both Brackets and press firmly 
 until you hear it click into both Brackets. Pull gently up on the Float Rod to be sure it 
 doesn’t pop out of the Brackets.

 getting water into any openings in the Reservoir area by pouring from the low side of the 
 Housing on the opposite side from the Mist Outlet and away from Power Knob.
