Follow steps 1-3 under Before Cleaning, then follow the additional steps below.
NOTE: Filter must be removed from humidifier during cleaning.
Do not clean Filter with bleach solution.
1. Mix 1 gallon (3.8L) of water with 1 teaspoon of bleach. Pour half of the bleach solution
into first Water Tank. Lift Tank and swish bleach solution around to wet entire inside of
Tank. Repeat for second Water Tank.
NOTE: Using more than 1 teaspoon of bleach to 1 gallon (3.8L) of water may result in
damage to the humidifier.
2. Place both Tanks on Base. Bleach solution will drain into Water Reservoir.
3. Allow bleach solution to remain in the Tanks and Base for 15-20 minutes.
4. Empty bleach solution from Tanks and Base. Rinse with clean water until the smell
of bleach is gone
NOTE: Consider using a Protec
®
Cleaning Cartridge to keep your
humidifier cleaner longer. It will continuously clean and protect
against bacteria and mold. It will also help prevent the buildup of
slime in the water and on humidifier surfaces. The Protec Cartridge
will keep your humidifier cleaner longer between cleanings. However,
your humidifier still needs to be cleaned regularly.
End of Season Cleaning
Follow cleaning instructions above when the humidifier will not be used for at least one week,
or it is the end of the season. Remove any accessories, including the Wicking Filter, and allow
the humidifier to dry completely before storing.
Do not store humidifier with water inside the Base, Water Reservoir or Water Tanks.
At end of season, remove and throw away filter. Do not store humidifier with a used
Wicking Filter.
