Weekly Maintenance:
•Thoroughly clean humidifier every week as described in Daily Maintenance.
• Remove the water reservoir (d), the steam chamber (c), and the heating cone (g) from the appliance
and rinse all parts with vinegar water (25% vinegar / 75% water). Rinse thoroughly with clean water
after that.
•Remove any residual water from the water reservoir. Fill the reservoir with a mixture of 25% vinegar
(950ml) and 75% water (2850ml) and leave for 20 minutes to remove possible mineral deposits. Drain
vinegar water and rinse thoroughly with clean water.
• Fill the heating chamber (e) with vinegar (50% vinegar / 50% water) and leave it to take effect for 20
minutes. Drain any residual water from the heating chamber and dry with damp soft clean cloth.
WARNING: Do not submerge or rinse the base in water.
- Do not use steel wool, scouring agents or abrasive material.
- Dry all parts properly.
- Reassemble the appliance as shown in the instruction manual.
Disinfecting the Removable Heating Cone and Water Reservoir:
• Thoroughly clean humidifier every week using a solution of bleach and water (1 tea spoon of bleach
in 3.8 litre of water). Fill the reservoir partially with this solution and let it stand for 20 minutes shaking the
water reservoir vigorously every few minutes. Drain and rinse the reservoir with clean water until the
bleach smell is gone.
• The Heating Cone, Aromatic container, and Steam Chamber are dishwasher safe.
N.B.: Place on the top shelf of the dishwasher only.
End of Season Maintenance:
• Thoroughly follow Weekly Maintenance directions above. Make sure all parts of the humidifier are dry
before storing.
• Leave the reservoir cap partially loosened during storage to prevent the reservoir cap and gasket from
sticking together.
• Clean the reservoir and base after a long period of storage.
