WEEKLY CLEANING
We recommend cleaning the humidifier weekly, more often if you have hard water or
notice a build-up of impurities or detect unpleasant odors.
Cleaning involves two steps SCALE REMOVAL and DISINFECTING. Be sure to perform
these in the proper order to avoid harmful chemical interactions.
• First, turn off and unplug the humidifier. Wait at
least 10 minutes for the unit to cool.
• Remove the Water Tank.
• To remove the Power Unit, pull the Latch to
release (found under the Water Tank) and lift the
Power Unit (Fig. 6). Turn upside-down to check
condition of heating element. If build-up of min-
erals is heavy, follow the CLEANING THE HEAT-
ING ELEMENT instructions. Set the Power Unit
aside.
• Empty any water from the Base and Removable Tray.
Note: If tank appears to be damaged in any way discontinue use to
avoid water overflow.
STEP ONE:
SCALE REMOVAL
REMOVABLE TRAY:
1. Fill the Removable Tray (Fig. 6) with:

2. Let solution stand for 20 minutes.
3. With the vinegar or Honeywell
Humidifier Cleaner in the Removable
Tray, clean all interior surfaces with a
soft cloth or brush to help remove
scale.
