How to Fill
CAUTION : Before filling unit with water, turn the power off and unplug

NOTE : Always use two hands to carry the water tank.
-
Grasp tank handle and lift up from humidifier base. (Fig. 2)
-
Turn the tank upside down—remove the tank cap by turning it counter-clockwise. (Fig. 3)
-
Fill the water tank with clean, cool (not cold) water. We recommend using distilled water if you live in a hard water area. (Fig. 4)
NOTE: Not for use with essential oils. Even a few drops can ruin the humidifier. -
Replace the tank cap by turning clockwise until tight. (Fig. 5)
-
Install the tank back on the base of the unit. Make sure the tank is firmly seated. (Fig. 6)
NOTE: It is normal to have a small amount of water in the base during and after use.
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
- Remove demineralization cartridge from packaging and let it soak in water for 10 minutes.
- Remove the tank from humidifier base and turn it over.
- Unscrew the tank cap by turning the cap counter-clockwise.
- Fill the tank with water as shown in the How to Fill section of the instructions included with your humidifier.
- Add the soaked demineralization cartridge into the tank.
- Replace the tank cap by turning clockwise.
- Place the tank back on the base.

Cleaning and Care
CAUTION : Before cleaning the unit, turn power off and unplug unit from the outlet.
To Clean the Tank
Remove the water tank from the humidifier base by lifting it from the main
unit. Unscrew the tank cap and rinse inside the tank with clean water. (Fig.
7) To remove any scale or build up, use a 50/50 mixture of vinegar and
lukewarm water to clean the inside of the tank. Suggestion: Clean the water
tank once every two to three weeks, depending on your water conditions.
To Clean the Ultrasonic Membrane
Pour a 50/50 mixture of vinegar and water on the surface of the ultrasonic
membrane, then soak for five minutes. Brush clean with a soft-bristle brush
(not included) and rinse.
NEVER touch the ultrasonic membrane with your fingers as the natural oils
in skin can damage the membrane. (Fig. 8)
Suggestion : Clean the membrane once every two to three weeks, depending
on your water conditions.
NOTE : Never submerge the base in water or any liquid
To Clean the Surface
Clean the surface of the unit with a clean damp soft cloth as often as needed.
