5 MAINTENANCE and CLEANING Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet and allow the appliance to cool before cleaning. When not used for extended periods of time, place appliance in plastic bag, away from dirt and dust and store in a cool dry area. Failure to carry out maintenance and cleaning may cause excessive build up of scale on the heating element preventing the unit from operating correctly. This may cause a false EMPTY water level warning and for the RED light to illuminate even when the water tank is full. Daily Maintenance: Remove water reservoir from base (d) and rinse it with warm water thoroughly a couple of times. Repeat this process every time before refilling the appliance with water prior to using. Wipe accessible surfaces of the water reservoir with a soft cloth. Remove the Aromatic container from the Steam Chamber (c) (Fig. 6). Using the Heating Cone release (Fig. 7), release the Steam Chamber (Fig. 8) from the Base. Wipe the Aromatic container, Steam Chamber and Removable Heating Cone (Fig. 9) clean with a soft damp cloth. H Fig.6 Clean the base with a soft damp cloth. Ensure the heater and heater chamber is cool before wiping dry. - DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or brushes. - DO NOT leave water in the Water Reservoir when the unit is not in use. This may result in bacteria growth in the reservoir. C Fig.7 Fig.8 G Fig.9 4

6 Weekly Maintenance: Thoroughly clean humidifier every week as described in Daily Maintenance. Remove the water reservoir (d), the steam chamber (c), and the heating cone (g) from the appliance and rinse all parts with vinegar water (25% vinegar / 75% water).
