Weekly Cleaning - Vicks SleepyTime VUL500 Serie Manual Del Usuario

The higher the mineral content or hardness of your water, the greater the potential that you may
have white dust.
"White dust" is not a result of a defect or flaw in the humidifier. It is a result of the amount of
minerals suspended in the water you are using.
If you live in a hard water area the use of distilled water will minimize the production of white dust.

Weekly Cleaning

To properly clean your humidifier we recommend the separate processes of Scale Removal and
Disinfecting shown below. These two processes must be performed separately.
All maintenance should be done in the kitchen or bathroom on a water resistant surface near
a faucet. DO NOT wash any components of this humidifier in the dishwasher.
Instructions for Scale Removal
Step 1
1.
Turn off and unplug the humidifier.
2.
Remove Water Tank from Base. Remove Tank Cap, taking care that the rubber Cap Seal does
not come off. Empty water from Water Tank and Base.
3.
If Antimicrobial Cleaning Product is installed, remove Antimicrobial Cleaning Product and
set aside. DO NOT clean Antimicrobial Cleaning Product. This will damage the Antimicrobial
Cleaning Product.
4.
Add 2 cups of undiluted distilled white vinegar to Water Tank. Replace Tank Cap and swish
vinegar solution around in Tank. Place Tank on Base. Vinegar solution will drain into Water
Reservoir and loosen mineral buildup (scale) on Nebulizer and Float as they soak in the
solution. It will also loosen scale on bottom of Water Tank.

or bleach solution (for Disinfecting process) is gone. Make sure water does not enter the
fan opening (vented opening on right side of Reservoir) or Power Knob.
