CLEANING –
The exterior
Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. If the device is extremely dirty, use a mild cleaning agent. Wipe the humidifier with
a slightly damp cloth. Never spray the device with water.
Calcium Deposits
Every 2-3 weeks (more often in hard water areas) unplug the humidifier and wipe away any signs of scale or mould and rinse
out the tank.
The water filter (see photo on page two)
The water filter is there to protect the humidifier from the limescale that comes from hard water and will prolong the life of the
humidifier and will stop the white dust from the limescale from being blown into the room with the humidified air. Depending
on how hard your water is you may have to change your water filter every few months, the harder the water the more often
you have to change the filter. Customers with very hard water might find it better to use boiled water that has been allowed
to cool or distilled water. Those in soft water areas will find that their filter will last a lot longer.
You can check on the performance of your water filter by placing a piece of dark paper or card in the mist. If calcium
deposits are starting to build up then these will appear on the card and in the form of a white dust, this will give you an early
indication that you need to change the water filter.
Important: Soak the water filter in tap water for 2 hours before inserting it into the humidifier. This helps to activate
the filter for it to work at maximum efficiency.
