E-12
Frequency of maintenance cycle will depend on the hardness or the impurities of the water that
you use; the harder the water the more often descaling will be necessary.
Pay attention not to spill water when cleaning the fi lter.
1 Remove the Water Tank and
Humidifying Tray. (See E-11)
2 Remove the Humidifying Filter
from the Humidifying Tray.
Avoid spilling water from the Humidifying
Tray.
3 Preparing the descaling solu-
tion.
Citric acid, available at some drugstores,
or 100 % bottled lemon juice are used for
descaling. Choose either one to use, and
prepare the descaling solution.
<For using citric acid>
Dissolve 3 teaspoons of citric acid and 2
1/2 cups of lukewarm water in a suitable
container, and stir well.
<For using lemon juice>
100 % bottled lemon juice can be used
for descaling. Use only 100 % bottled
lemon juice with no pulp (strain juice if
necessary). Combine 1/4 cup lemon juice
and 3 cups of lukewarm water in a con-
tainer large enough to hold the Humidify-
ing Filter and stir well.

When using lemon juice, it is recommend-
ed to pre-soak longer than citric acid.
5 Rinse the Humidifying Filter re-
peatedly with lukewarm water
to remove all the solution resi-
due.
Inadequate rinsing may cause odour and
affect the performance and/or appear-
ance of the unit.
* Do not scrub the Hu-
midifying Filter, rinse
gently under lukewarm
water only.

to the Humidifying Tray, and

rities (calcium, etc.) are due to the im-
purities contained in tap water; this is
not a defect. Replace the Humidifying
Filter when it is covered completely in
white deposits.
