CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Manual cleaning is needed at least once each season to clean out the mineral deposits that remain in the tank
after automatic ushing. Manual cleaning is easy – just empty and remove the water tank and clean the interior
components. Then re-assemble and start the Steam Humidier up again.
When should I clean the tank? The Steam Humidier should be manually cleaned at least once every 5
months. (Hard water may require more frequent cleaning.) The Cleaning Required light turns on when the tank
needs manual cleaning. The Steam Humidier will still operate normally when the Cleaning Required light is
on. The light will turn off when you have cleaned the tank and re-started the Steam Humidier.
Note: The Cleaning Required light turns on when the tank drains too slowly during a manual ush cycle. (This is probably due to tank sediment.) The Steam
Humidier will still operate as normal. If during the next manual ush cycle, the tank drains normally, the Cleaning Required light will stop blinking.
How do I clean the tank? Follow these steps to manually clean the Steam Humidier:
Press the Drain button to initiate a ush cycle and
empty the water tank. You will know the tank is draining
when the Draining light is blinking.
Wait for the Empty light to turn on. (It takes about 45
minutes for the tank to drain.) This indicates that the
water has nished draining.
IMPORTANT: You can stop a manual ush once the
cycle has started by pressing and holding the Drain
button while the Draining light is already blinking. The
tank will rell and the Steam Humidier will return to
normal operation in about 5 minutes.
Turn the manual shutoff valve at the tank bottom to the
“Unlock” position.
Grip the white water valve arm and push it back to
disconnect it from the tank.

Why do I need to manually clean the tank?
CAUTION: Scalding Hazard.
Initial water temperature may be above 140°F (60°C) and can cause scalding injury. Make sure
the drain outlet is not exposed, and use caution when pressing the Drain button.
