CLEANING
1. Always unplug the unit before servicing in any way.
GENERAL CLEANING
2. Inside the base of the unit. Pour excess water out of the unit. Wash out the unit with fresh water using the
cleaning brush and a soft cloth as needed. Do not submerse the base of the unit into water, or allow
water to enter inside the dry air exhaust port of the unit.

water and a light brush (bottle cleaning brush is recommended). Return mist spout after cleaning.
3. Outer surface of the unit. Wipe the surface of the unit with a soft, damp cloth if needed. If you notice an
accumulation of water during usage, reduce humidity and dry outer surface with a cloth.
DESCALING
• Depending on usage and water type, cleaning to remove scale may be required weekly or every
other week to optimize unit performance.
• If you live in a hard water area, we recommend the use of distilled water for your humidifier. This will
help reduce the precipitation of minerals or 'white dust'.
• Do not clean the unit or water tank with detergents or cleaning chemicals of any kind.
ULTRASONIC DISK
1. Unplug unit.
2. Remove the tank and empty all water from unit base and tank.
3. Locate the ultrasonic disk on the inside center of the base unit.
4. Use ONLY the enclosed cleaning brush to gently clean disk
and remove build up and deposits.
Do not scrub or scrape the ultrasonic disk.
If scale becomes difficult to remove with brush:
1. Fill the Base with: mixture of 1 tsp. white vinegar
and 1 tsp. water.
2. Let solution stand for 5 minutes.
3. With the vinegar in the Base, clean all interior surfaces
with a soft cloth or brush to help remove scale.
4. Also check mist nozzle and mist tube in water tank. Clean as needed.
5. Rinse the Base thoroughly with water to remove scale and vinegar solution.
END OF SEASON STORAGE
• Follow the Cleaning and Descaling instructions when the humidifier will be stored at the end of the season.
• Dry the humidifier completely before storing. DO NOT store with water inside the Base or Water Tank.
• Pack the unit in its original carton and store in a cool, dry location.

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
SOLUTION
Power Plug: Unplug and then try again.
Power Failure: When the power is returned, try again.
Tank Installation: Make sure the tank is correctly attached.
The surface of the ultrasonic disk is dirty: Clean ultrasonic disk
Excessive Water: Remove a certain amount of water from the tank.
The desired humidity is lower than the current temperature:
Increase the desired humidity.
The surface of the ultrasonic disk is dirty: Clean ultrasonic disk.
If you use hard water, replace with softer water.
The surface of the ultrasonic disk is dirty: Clean ultrasonic disk.
The water in the unit is too cold: Replace with cool, but not cold water.
Damage on the ultrasonic disk: Contact Customer Service
may not feel warm due to the fact it is so fine and is cooled rather quickly
from the air in your home. Test by either feeling the base of the unit which
should be warm to the touch or by allowing the unit to run for approximately
30 minutes on warm setting in a closed 200 sq. foot room or smaller. The
room should feel moderately warmer if the unit is working properly.
Poor maintenance or dirty water: Clean the product thoroughly,
and fill it with fresh water.
Hard water may deposit a certain amount of dust. Dust in the air also
settles because of added humidity in the room. Use distilled water if
this becomes a nuisance.

No or low water. Unplug unit and refill tank.
Saturation of humidity. Lower mist control setting.
Unit not level and water is accumulating. Unplug and place on level
surface. Point spray away from objects. Raise unit on a water-resistant
level surface 2-3 feet off of floor.
Water remaining on bottom of tank. Wipe tank or tilt to drain
before transporting. Twist to firmly secure cap after filling tank with water.
Unit must be placed on a flat, level, hard surface. Make sure it is NOT
placed on a soft or absorbent surface.
There are a few things that can affect the reading.
The climate (example - if in a very cold climate, the furnace will run
frequently, letting dry air into the room).
The room may be too large and may be open to other spaces.
Try warm humidification, sometimes this increases the humidity faster.
Also, unplugging it for a period of 5-8 minutes. Sometimes it is possible to
overload the unit when first getting the product and trying out all the buttons.
