• 1 teaspoon of household bleach
and
• 1 gallon of water
Pour some of this solution into the
Base.
2. Let solution stand for 20 minutes.

bleach is gone.
NOTE: THE USE OF OTHER WATER TREATMENT PRODUCTS AND CHEMICALS MAY
CAUSE DETERIORATION OF THE FILTER OR DAMAGE THE HUMIDIFIER, THEREBY
HINDERING THE HUMIDIFIER’S EFFECTIVENESS.
We recommend cleaning the humidifier once a week, more often if you have hard water,
notice a build up of impurities or detect unpleasant odors.
Cleaning involves two steps SCALE REMOVAL and DISINFECTING. Be sure to perform these
in the proper order to avoid harmful chemical interactions.
• First, turn off and unplug the humidifier.
• Remove the Water Tank and Motor Housing.
• Remove the Natural Cool Moisture ® filter from the Base.
• Empty any water from the Base.
NOTE: REMOVE FILTER BEFORE CLEANING.
Failure to remove filter during cleaning will destroy the filter.
