area. The harder the water, the greater the
amount of minerals in the water and the more
often you will need to replace the filter. It is
strongly recommended that the filter is replaced
every 2 months, (depending on use), or when
white dust is emitted from the unit.
1. Make sure the unit is turned off and
disconnect from the mains outlet. Remove
Water Tank.
2. If replacing, remove the Filter from the base
and dispose of according to local
regulations.
3. Remove the protective plastic bag from the
new filter. Soak filter thoroughly by
immersing filter in water for 5 minutes. Install
the filter into the base.
4. Fill the water tank with clean, cool tap water
and replace it in the base. Wait 15 minutes
for water to pass through the filter before
turning on the unit. The 15 minute wait is
necessary to ensure that the filter is properly
saturated and the water is at its optimal level
for best performance.
Cleaning and Maintenance Instruction
Humidifiers provide comfort by adding moisture
to dry, heated indoor air. To get the most benefit
from the humidifier and to avoid product misuse,
follow all instructions carefully, specifically the
operation, care and maintenance guidelines.
Please note this is an electrical appliance and
requires attention when in use.
Cleaning your humidifier every one or two
weeks, depending on the water conditions is
important in order to maintain efficient, healthy,
odour-free operation. Water quality varies widely
and, combined with build-up of mineral scale in
your humidifier, may under certain conditions
promote the growth of micro-organisms in the
water tank.
The disposable sponge used inside the aroma
cap needs to be changed and/or washed on a
regular basis for best results of the aroma and
medicinal defusing feature. The aroma/oil
reservoir must also be cleaned regularly to
remove excess of old oil and other residues.
Before cleaning, Please note the
following:
•
DO NOT use soap, detergents, abrasives,
gasoline, glass or furniture polish, or boiling
water to clean any part of your Ultrasonic
Humidifier. These will interfere with the
proper operation of your unit and may affect
its appearance.
•
DO NOT use sharp or metal objects to clean
mineral deposits in the reservoir. Contact
with sharp objects can result in damage to
the plastic.
•
Mineral deposits should be soaked for up to
20 minutes in plain vinegar and water to help
with their removal.
•
DO NOT clean any part of your humidifier in
the dishwasher.
Daily maintenance:
1. Before cleaning, switch off the unit and
unplug the unit from the electrical outlet.
2. Lift and remove the tank of the humidifier.
3. Drain and rinse the base and tank
thoroughly to remove any sediment or dirt.
Wipe clean and dry with a clean cloth or
paper towel.
4. Refill the tanks as instructed in "Operating
Instructions". Do not over fill.
5. If moisture forms on walls or windows in
your home, turn the humidifier off.
6. Wipe out and clean excess oil and other
residues from reservoir.
