Maintenance

Note: ALWAYS unplug the unit from electrical outlet before cleaning. NEVER allow water to sit in water tank when not in use.

Hard water can cause calcium and magnesium to build up in a white powder on base of unit, transducer, and inner surface of water tank. Over time, this can cause humidifier to stop working properly.

It is recommended to clean the water tank daily, and clean the PermaWick ® every 1-3 months, depending on water hardness.

Humidifier should be emptied and cleaned before storage.

Use a dry, soft cloth to dry unit after each cleaning.

Daily Maintenance:
It is recommended to refill the water tank with water every day to avoid odor from sitting water and hard water build up.

1. Turn off unit and unplug from wall outlet.
2. Remove top cover.
3. Grab handle and lift water tank out of the unit. Drain any water into a sink or tub. Shake water tank gently to remove any remaining water.
4. Rinse water tank thoroughly with water, empty, and wipe with a dry, soft cloth.

1. Wipe off surface and base of unit. For best results, use a microfiber cloth.
2. Rinse surface and base with clean water.

Filter Maintenance:
We recommend periodically checking and replacing filters for optimal performance. Under normal conditions of continuous use the pre-filter should be replaced every 3 months (approximately 2,160 hours) and the HEPA filter should be replaced every 6 months (approximately 4,320 hours). This estimate is only a guide. Depending on air quality and environmental factors, filters may need to be replaced more regularly.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use water, any liquid or detergents to clean the filters.

Filter Replacement:

1. Power off and unplug the product.
2. Gently take off back grille.
3. Grab the tab to remove the filter from the compartment.

Depending on your water quality and environmental factors, the PermaWick® may need to be cleaned more regularly.
