CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning your humidifier regularly helps eliminate odors and bacterial and
fungal growth. Ordinary household bleach is a good disinfectant and can be used
to wipe out the humidifier reservoir after cleaning. We recommend changing the wick
whenever cleaning the unit. We also recommend using Essick Air
®
Bacteriostat
Treatment each time you refill your humidifier to eliminate bacterial growth.
STEP 1:
PREPARATION
To make cleaning easier, the humidifier cabinet should be empty and completely
dried out. To accomplish this, use the following method:
1. Allow the humidifier to run until there is no water left in the cabinet.
2. Unplug humidifier.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock, always unplug humidifier before cleaning or
servicing. If humidifier is not unplugged, fan could start after housing is removed.
STEP 2:
TO REMOVE PARTS
1. Open the pivoting lid and grasp the fan assembly front center and rear center. Lift
off and set aside on a clean flat surface. The wick housings are now accessible.
2. Before removing the internal parts of the humidifier cabinet, we recommend
moving the humidifier to an area where floors are not susceptible to water
damage, such as the kitchen or bath area. Lift the wick housing assemblies out of
the cabinet and set to the side.
3. Remove the water level float from the humidifier cabinet. The cabinet should be empty
before cleaning.
4. Pour out any remaining water.
STANDARD CLEANING
1. Fill the reservoir with water and add one 8 oz. (236 ml) cup of white vinegar. Let
solution stay for 20 minutes.
2. Clean all interior surfaces with soft brush. Dampen soft cloth with white vinegar
and wipe out reservoir to remove scale.
3. Rinse thoroughly with clean warm water to remove scale and cleaning solution
before disinfecting the reservoir.
DISINFECTING UNIT
4. Fill humidifier cabinet with 1 teaspoon (5 ml) chlorine bleach in 1 gallon (3.8 litres)
of water. Let solution stay for 20 minutes, carefully swishing every few minutes.
Wipe down all surfaces normally exposed to water.
5. Empty humidifier cabinet after 20 minutes. Rinse with water until bleach smell is
gone. Allow unit to dry out completely.
