ABOUT WHITE DUST:

Use of high mineral content hard water may cause a white mineral residue to accumulate on surfaces in the room near the humidifier. The mineral residue is commonly called “white dust.” The higher the
mineral content (or, the harder your water is), the greater the potential for white dust. The white dust is not caused by a defect in the humidifier. It is caused only by minerals suspended in the water.

HOW AND WHY TO USE DEMINERALIZATION CARTRIDGES:

The HoMedics demineralization cartridge will help reduce the potential for white dust, a deposit of minerals left behind from using hard water in your humidifier. The cartridge should be replaced every 30
– 40 fillings. The cartridge may need to be replaced more often if you are using very hard water. Replace the cartridge when you notice an increase in white dust build-up. If white dust still forms around the humidifier after a new cartridge has been installed, consider using distilled water.
To purchase new demineralization cartridges, model # UHE-HDC4, go back to the retailer (where you purchased your humidifier), or visit www.homedics.com

If you live in an area with hard water, or use a water softener, we recommend using distilled water for better results from your humidifier. Never use water softening additives in your humidifier.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Remove demineralization cartridges from packaging and let them soak in water for 10 minutes.
2. Remove the tanks from humidifier base and turn them over.
3. Unscrew the tank caps by turning counter-clockwise.
4. Fill each tank with water as shown in the How to Fill section of the instructions included with your humidifier.
5. Add the soaked demineralization cartridge into each tank.
6. Replace the tank caps by turning clockwise.
7. Place the tanks back on the base.

CLEANING AND CARE

CAUTION : Before cleaning the unit, turn power off and unplug unit from the outlet.

TO CLEAN THE TANKS
Remove the water tanks from the humidifier base by lifting them from the main unit. Unscrew the tank caps and rinse inside the tanks with clean water.
Every Day: Empty and rinse each tank and tank cap before refilling.
Every Week: To remove any scale or build up, use a 50/50 mixture of white vinegar and lukewarm water to clean the inside of the tanks.

TO CLEAN THE ULTRASONIC MEMBRANE
Every Day: Empty, rinse and dry the ultrasonic membrane and the reservoir before refilling.

NEVER touch the ultrasonic membrane with your fingers as the natural oils in skin can damage the membrane.

NOTE: Never submerge the base in water or any liquid
TO CLEAN THE AROMA TRAY
Open the aroma tray and remove the aroma pad. Aroma pads should be changed when switching to a different essential oil scent.
If continuing to use the same scent, set the aroma pad aside for reuse. Wipe down the inside of the aroma tray with a soft cloth. Place the aroma pad back in the tray and close.

NOTE : Leave the aroma pad out of the aroma tray when storing.
TO CLEAN THE SURFACE
Clean the surface of the unit with a clean damp soft cloth.
Before Storing: Clean the Tanks, Reservoir, Tank Caps and the Ultrasonic Membrane with a 50/50 mixture of white vinegar and water. Be sure to rinse and let all parts dry completely before
