HOW TO CLEAN YOUR HOLMES®
SMART HUMIDIFIER
HOW TO CLEAN YOUR HOLMES®
SMART HUMIDIFIER
Your Smart Humidifier should be cleaned regularly to prevent the growth of
mold, mildew, fungi, and bacteria. These organisms can thrive in standing water
that is left inside your Smart Humidifier for more than a couple of days. It is best
to empty and refill your Smart Humidifier on a daily basis, or keep your Smart
Humidifier running throughout the day to avoid having standing water from
sitting in your Smart Humidifier. Regular cleaning is also recommended at least
once every 1-2 weeks.
Prior to performing any unit maintenance, remove tanks and empty water from
the tanks. Run your Smart Humidifier for approximately 1 hour on Medium
Setting or higher to dry out wick filter and bottom tray. Then, unplug unit and
perform maintenance per the next sections.
Cleaning the Tanks
When tanks are empty, you can clean the tanks through the side tank cap.
Simply use a long, bottle-type cleaning brush. For any mineral build-up that
collects in the tanks, use a one-to-one vinegar-to-water solution to clean.
Do not remove the bottom tank cap, this is a permanent fixture on the tank.
Carefully clean the plunger assembly at the bottom of the unit by wiping with
damp cloth.
Cleaning the Front Door
Front door should be wiped down with a damp cloth when filter is removed to
remove any dust or residue that has accumulated.
Cleaning the Tray
When the filter is being replaced, also clean out the bottom tray. Wipe the tray
clean and dry with a cloth or paper towel. Be sure to thoroughly clean around
all corners of the tray. Also clean off the float and the float housing. You can
use a one-to-one vinegar-to-water ratio to clean off any mineral build-up on
the tray, float or float housing. Proper cleaning prolongs the life and improves
the performance of your Smart Humidifier by preventing mold, mildew, fungi or
bacteria build-up in the tray.
Prevention of Mineral Build-up
One way to prevent minerals from building up in the tray and tanks is to clean
the tanks and tray regularly, avoid standing water and change wick filter
regularly. You can also prevent mineral build-up by using our Bacteriostat and
Water Treatment liquid. To order these products visit www.holmesproducts.com
HOW EVAPORATIVE COOL MIST WORKS
Your Holmes® Smart Humidifier draws air through the Air Intake Grill area.
The fan draws the water through the moisture laden wick filter. This process
reduces the water droplet to a size so small that it is not visible to the naked
eye. This process in an effective means of adding moisture to your dry air
home.
How do I know my Smart Humidifier is working?
With use you will see the water levels go down in the tanks. The ambient humidity
settings will show you that this water is being dispersed into your home.
NOTE: A humidity level below 20% can be unhealthy and uncomfortable.
The recommended humidity level is between 40%-50%.
