WEEKLY CLEANING
STEP ONE:
SCALE REMOVAL
BASE
1. Fill the Base with either:
• 1 cup (8 ozs.) of undiluted white
vinegar
or
• Use DuraRinse™ Humidifier
Cleaner, part no. AC816, following
the instructions on the bottle.
2. Let solution stand for 20 minutes.
3. With the vinegar or DuraRinse™ in
the Base clean all interior surfaces
with a soft cloth or brush to help
remove scales.
4. Rinse the Base thoroughly with
water to remove scale and cleaning
solution.
STEP TWO:
DISINFECTING
WATER TANK/BASE
1. Fill the Water Tank with:
• 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.
3. Rinse with water until the odor of
bleach is gone.
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 Tanks, and Motor Housing.
• Remove the Natural Cool Moisture™ filters from the
Base (Fig. 6).
• Discard any remaining water from the Base.
NOTE: REMOVE FILTERS BEFORE CLEANING.
Failure to remove filters during cleaning will destroy the filters.
NOTE: THE USE OF OTHER WATER TREATMENT PRODUCTS AND CHEMICALS MAY
CAUSE DETERIORATION OF THE FILTERS OR DAMAGE THE HUMIDIFIER, THEREBY
HINDERING THE HUMIDIFIER’S EFFECTIVENESS.
