CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CAUTION: Disconnect power before filling, cleaning or servicing unit. Keep grille
dry at all times.
Cleaning your humidifier regularly helps eliminate odors and bacterial / fungal
growth. Ordinary household bleach is a good disinfectant and can be used to
wipe out the humidifier base and bottle/reservoir after cleaning. We recommend
cleaning your humidifier at least once every two weeks to maintain optimum
environmental conditions for your home.
We also recommend using Essick Air Bacteriostat Treatment each time you refill
your humidifier to eliminate bacterial growth. Add bacteriostat according to the
instructions on the bottle. Please call 1-800-547-3888 to order Bacteriostat
Treatment reference part number 1970.
