About White Dust -Use of high-mineral content water may cause a white mineral
residue to accumulate on room surfaces near the humidifier. The mineral
residue is commonly referred to as “White Dust”. The higher the mineral
content (the harder your water is), the greater the potential for White Dust.
The White Dust is not caused by a defect in the humidifier, but is due only to
minerals suspended in the water from your tap. WARNING: If you have hard tap
water replace the Ceramic Filter with the provided Demineralization Filter or
ONLY use filtered or distilled water. The Demineralization Filter will last up
to 30 days; to purchase additional filters please visit www.Air-
Innovations.com.

cloth and a small amount of undiluted white vinegar. If necessary, mix a

solution to cover the Ultrasonic Nebulizer a . Allow it to soak for an hour
