CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Humidifiers provide comfort by adding moisture to dry,
heated indoor air. To benefit most from the humidifier and
avoid product misuse, follow all instructions carefully.
Please note that this is an electrical appliance and
requires attention when in use.
In addition, if you do not follow the recommended care
and maintenance guidelines, micro-organisms may be
able to grow in the water within the water tank. You must
routinely follow the cleaning procedures that follow in
order to ensure proper, efficient operation of your
humidifier. Proper maintenance and cleaning is essential
to the continued performance of your unit and the
avoidance of algae or bacteria build-up.
DAILY MAINTENANCE

electrical outlet.
2. Remove the housing and the tank from the humidifier
and place in sink or tub.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Question
• What are the variables that
affect run time?
• How do I remove film on
water tank?
• How can I extend the run
time?
Answer
The estimated run time for this humidifier is based on
average room conditions. The actual run time of your
humidifier is dependent on numerous variables such as:
1. Air exchange in the room where the humidifier is
placed.
2. Room construction of the room where the humidifier
is placed.
3. Temperature of the room where the humidifier is
placed.
4. Humidity levels in the room where the humidifier is
placed.
5. Movement of occupants and the opening and clos-
ing of doors in the room where the humidifier is
placed.
6. Home furnishings in the room where the humidifier is
placed.
See Daily Maintenance instructions. Regular cleaning is
recommended.
Run your unit on the lowest setting.
If your unit has electronics, set it to your desired
humidity level. The unit will turn on and off, which will
extend the run time.
Fill the tank all the way full, place it on the base, let the
water empty into the base until it stops bubbling, then
refill the tank full again. This ensures maximum water
capacity and will extend run time.
