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.
Before Cleaning
1. Turn off and unplug humidifier. NEVER clean the humidifier when it is running.
2. Remove Water Tank and Tank Cover. Empty water from Tank.
3. Remove Wicking Filter. Pull the Filter Cartridge Handle straight up slowly, listening for
water dripping from the filter.
CAUTION: Filter may be saturated with water. Remove slowly to give filter
time to drain before removing. This will help prevent dripping on your floor
or other surfaces.
4. Remove Housing from Base.
a. Turn Locking Knob to the right toward the unlock symbol.
b. Lift Housing from the Base and set aside.
5. Holding the Base, empty water from the Reservoir.

Scale Removal
Follow steps 1-5 in Before Cleaning section, then follow the additional steps below
Note: Filter must be removed from humidifier before cleaning; DO NOT clean Filter with vinegar.
1. Pour a minimum of 3 cups (.7 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 inside of the Tank.
3. Soak for 20 minutes, then remove Water Tank and slowly empty vinegar into sink. Rinse
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 Float Paddle and Reservoir area with a soft cloth to remove loosened minerals.
5. Empty vinegar from Base and Reservoir area; rinse with water until the smell of vinegar
is gone.
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.
