3. Do not use detergent to clean any water-containing parts of the humidifier. Detergents and the film they leave behind can affect the output of the humidifier. Do not use abrasive cleansers or brushes. 4. Do not leave water in the Water Tank or Reservoir when unit is not in use as it may result in the build up of mineral deposits and bacteria that can inhibit the output efficiency of the humidifier. Please note that if water remains in the Water Tank for more than a day or two, bacterial growth is possible. Weekly Maintenance: 1. Thoroughly clean humidifier every week using a solution of bleach and water (one teaspoon of bleach in one gallon of water). Fill Tank partially with this solution, let stand twenty (20) minutes, shaking vigorously every few minutes, drain and rinse with clean water until the bleach smell is gone. 2. Wipe the Reservoir with a soft cloth dampened in the solution. Rinse area thoroughly before proceeding. 3. If mineral deposits are evident around the Nebulizer and Water Sensor, clean their surfaces with a soft, clean cloth and a small amount of undiluted white vinegar. If necessary for removal of mineral deposits, mix a solution of 50% white vinegar and 50% water and fill the Base with enough solution to cover the Nebulizer. Allow it to soak for an hour. Then use a cotton swab to gently loosen buildup on the Nebulizer. Rinse out the Reservoir and wipe clean. Do not touch Nebulizer with bare fingers as any fingerprints or other residue can affect mist output. Be careful not to damage the Water Sensor. 4. All surfaces should be thoroughly cleaned with water prior to reuse. End of Season Maintenance 1. Follow above weekly cleaning procedure at the end of the humidification season, or when the humidifier will not be used for several days, being sure to dry all parts, including the inside of the Water Tank. Do not store with water inside. 2. Leave Tank Cap partially loosened during storage to prevent Tank Cap and gasket from sticking together. This will prolong the life of the gasket. 3. Clean the Tank and Base after long periods of storage.
