To Clean Nebulizer and Water Sensor:
Periodically inspect nebulizer and water sensor and keep them free of mineral deposits. Remove the
tank from the unit and empty the reservoir in the bottom of the unit. Clean nebulizer (located in the
bottom of reservoir) with the brush stored in the unit under the tank. Do not scrape nebulizer or
water sensor or clean them with tools that have metal parts. Clean water sensor with the brush.
If instructions are not followed and hard water is used, mineral build-up on the nebulizer will occur.
If nebulizer has accumulated hard water build-up, drain the reservoir, refill it with a white vinegar
and water solution and let it soak for an hour. Then use the brush to loosen build-up on the
nebulizer. Rinse and drain reservoir and wipe clean.
Caution: Minerals in tap water can cause a white dust to
appear on furniture, etc. Distilled water reduces buildup of
mineral scale and white dust. See inside front cover.
To Store Unit:
The original box makes a good storage place for the unit. Make sure tank, reservoir and all parts
are thoroughly dry before storing. If water is left in the unit during storage, water may harden and
leave deposits that can prevent the unit from operating properly. Leave filling door of the tank
loosened to prevent door and gasket from sticking together. This will prolong the life of the gasket.
A NOTE ABOUT HUMIDITY
It is best to keep the humidity level at about 30 to 50 percent relative humidity.
The comfort level of humidity will vary from room to room and with changing room conditions.
In cold weather, windows and even some walls may fog or develop frost from excessive indoor
humidity. If this occurs, reduce the mist intensity setting to avoid damage from condensed water
dripping on sills.
Too much humidity in the room may allow moisture to accumulate on surfaces where bacteria and
fungi can grow. Collected moisture may also harm furniture and walls, especially wallpaper.
To correct for too much humidity, especially in a small room, leave the room door open and-adjust
the mist intensity control setting.
