5. Hold the base of the humidifi er over the sink and tilt it on its side to empty the
vinegar. Fill the cold and hot water reservoirs with clean, warm water to remove all
traces of the vinegar. Remove any buildup of minerals in the hot water reservoir
and from the two metal water level probes (they appear like two metal wires)
using a small brush, such as a toothbrush. NOTE: The buildup is due to water
hardness. The harder your water, the more often this maintenance will be needed.
Empty all of this water by turning the unit on its side.
DO NOT ALLOW WATER TO ENTER THE BOTTOM OF THE HUMIDIFIER BASE OR ANY
OTHER OPENINGS, OR IMMERSE THE CORD AND PLUG.
6. Disinfect the water tank using a solution of one teaspoon of household chlorine
bleach in 1 gallon of water. Let the solution sit for 20 minutes, swishing every few
minutes to wet all surfaces. Empty the tank completely; rinse thoroughly until all
of the bleach smell is gone. Fill the tank with fresh, cool water and replace it onto
the humidifi er base.
7. NEVER use any metal or hard objects to clean plastic parts which may cause
scratching of the plastic parts. The only exception to this is the metal part of the
hot water reservoir. A metal scraper can be used to clean this part only. NEVER use
gasoline, kerosene, glass cleaner, furniture polish, paint thinner or other household
solvents to clean any part of the humidifi er.
8. Each day the reservoir and tank should be drained, rinsed and refi lled with fresh
tap water.
9. To clean exterior surfaces, use a solution of water and mild detergent with a wrung-
out damp cloth. Rinse and wring out the cloth and wipe the exterior surfaces
again. Finally, wipe with a dry cloth. Allow suffi cient time to dry before plugging
the electrical cord into the outlet.
10. Replace tank. Plug in the unit and resume normal use.
CHANGING THE UV BULB
1. If the "REPLACE UV BULB" indicator illuminates during normal use, it is time to
change the UV bulb, which is a special 3.5W bulb, EUV-13B.
2. Turn the ON-OFF switch to the "OFF" (O) position, unplug it and allow it to cool.
3. Remove the water tank from the base of the humidifi er.
4. Place the base of the humidifi er over the sink and tilt the unit to remove any
remaining water.
5. Carefully turn the base of the humidifi er over and place it upside down on a fl at
level surface. You will see a door that is closed with a screw.
6. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, carefully turn the screw(s) counterclockwise until
the screw(s) separate from the door.
7. Open the door. The UV light bulb will be visible.
8. Take a replacement 3.5W UV bulb that you purchased from HONEYWELL or another
supplier and change the bulb. To prolong the life of the bulb, limit your direct
contact with the glass of the bulb by using a cloth or tissue to screw it into place.
9. When the new bulb is in place, close the door and replace the screw(s) by using
your Phillips head screwdriver and rotating it clockwise until it is just tight. DO NOT
OVER TIGHTEN.
