We recommend cleaning the humidifier weekly,
more often if you have hard water, notice a
buildup of minerals, or detect unpleasant odors.
Cleaning is a two step process; scale
removal and disinfecting. Be sure to perform
these in the proper order to avoid harmful
chemical interactions.
• Turn off and unplug the humidifier.
• Remove the Tank and Motor Housing.
• Remove the Filter from the Base
(failure to remove the filter during
cleaning will destroy the filter).
• Empty any water from the Base.
SCALE REMOVAL
1. Fill the Base with 1 cup (8 oz.) of undiluted
white vinegar
2. Let the solution stand for 20 minutes.
3. With the solution in the Base, clean all
interior surfaces with a soft cloth or brush.
4. Rinse the Base thoroughly with water to
remove the scale and cleaning solution.
5. The Base is dishwasher safe. You may
place the base in the top rack of the
dishwasher for cleaning.
Note: Always set the Desired Humidity prior
to setting the Timer (see Step 2) so that the
humidifier will shut off at the Desired
Humidity setting and not run continuously.
• Press the Mode button until the Timer Icon
blinks. The Hour Display will appear. The
Auto Off icon will also appear.
• Use the Up and Down arrow buttons to set
the humidifier operation time between 1
and 10 hours.
• The humidifier will automatically turn-off
when time runs out.
Note: If the Desired Humidity was set prior
to setting the Timer function, the humidifier
will cycle on and off as per the selected
Desired humidity setting.
WEEKLY CLEANING
DISINFECTING
1. Fill the Tank with water and add 1 teaspoon
of household bleach. Pour some of this
solution into the Base.
2. Let the solution stand for 20 minutes.
3. Rinse with water until the smell of bleach is
gone.
NOTE: THE USE OF OTHER WATER
TREATMENT PRODUCTS, CHEMICALS,
SOAPS, DETERGENTS OR ABRASIVE
CLEANSERS NOT RECOMMENDED IN OUR
WEBSITE OR REFERENCED IN THIS
MANUAL MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE
HUMIDIFIER OR AFFECT PERFORMANCE.
PROLONG YOUR FILTER LIFE
• Soak the Natural Cool Moisture™ Filter in
water each time the humidifier is filled (see
SET-UP).
• Never squeeze or wring-out the filter.
Always install a wet filter into the humidifier.
• ProTec™ prevents the surface growth and
migration of mold, fungus, algae and
bacteria. It is normal for the filter to discolor
from mineral build-up. Discoloration will vary
depending on water quality.
• The filter should be changed at least once
per season, or when the humidifier’s
performance starts to deteriorate.
• Do not attempt to clean the filter with any
chemical solution. Doing so will damage the
filter.
CARE AND STORAGE
• Follow WEEKLY CLEANING instructions
when the humidifier will not be used for a
week or more.
• Remove all water from the Base and Tank
before storing.
• Remove and throw the filter away at the
end of each season. Do not store the unit
with a used filter.
• Store in a cool, dry place.
• Clean the humidifier after prolonged
storage and install a new filter prior to use.
