CARING FOR YOUR HUMIDIFIER (Continued)
To keep your humidifier running efficiently, clean it regularly. Weekly cleaning is
recommended. All maintenance should be done in the kitchen or bathroom on a water
resistant surface near a faucet. Do not wash any components of this humidifier
in a dishwasher.
To properly clean your humidifier we recommend the separate processes of Scale
Removal and Disinfecting. These two processes must be done separately.
Before Cleaning
CARING FOR YOUR HUMIDIFIER
CARING FOR YOUR FILTER (Continued)
To prolong the life of your Wicking Filter, turn it over each time you fill the
Water Tank. This will keep the top of the Filter from drying out and will
help the Filter to age more evenly.
If you notice the Filter getting hard, you may soak it in cool water to
loosen mineral buildup. This will temporarily improve the performance of
the Wicking Filter until a replacement Filter is purchased.
Do not attempt to clean the Wicking Filter with vinegar or any chemical solutions. Doing so
may damage the Filter.
NOTE: Protec
®
antimicrobial layers in the replacement Wicking Filter help to prevent growth of
mold on the Filter. However, the Filter still needs to be replaced regularly. Humidifier filters and
accessories require replacement and are not covered under warranty.

NOTE: If humidifier will not be used for more than a few days, dry all internal surfaces,
including inside of Tank.
Follow steps 1-3 under Before Cleaning then follow the additional steps below. Filter must
be removed from humidifier during cleaning; do not clean filter with bleach solution.
1. Mix ½ gallon (1.9L) of water with ½ teaspoon of bleach. Pour bleach solution into Water
Tank. Replace Tank Cap and secure tightly by turning clockwise (to right). Swish bleach
solution around in Tank to wet entire inside of Tank.
NOTE: Using more than ½ teaspoon of bleach to ½ gallon (1.9L) of water may result in

Follow steps 1-3 under Before Cleaning then follow the additional steps below. Filter must be
removed from humidifier during cleaning; do not clean Filter with vinegar. Do not attempt to
clean the Wicking Filter with vinegar or any chemical solutions. Doing so may damage
the Filter.
1. Pour 2 cups of undiluted distilled white vinegar in Water Tank. Replace Tank Cap and
secure tightly by turning clockwise (to right). Swish vinegar around in Tank to wet entire
inside of Tank.
2. Place Tank on Base. Vinegar solution will drain into Water Reservoir and loosen mineral
buildup (scale) in Base, Reservoir and bottom of Water Tank. Note: Allow vinegar to remain
in the Tank and Base for 20 minutes.
3. After soaking, empty vinegar from Water Tank. With vinegar in the Base, clean all interior
surfaces with a soft cloth or brush to help remove scale.
4. Rinse Water Tank, Base and Reservoir with water until the smell of vinegar is gone.
NOTE: Consider using a Protec Humidifier Cleaning Ball to keep your humidifier
cleaner longer. Protec Cleaning Ball continuously cleans and protects
against bacteria and mold. It also helps prevent the buildup of slime in the
water and on humidifier surfaces. The Protec Cleaning Ball will keep your
humidifier cleaner longer between cleanings. However, your humidifier
still needs to be cleaned regularly.
