2. Setup
2.1 Unpacking
Carefully remove all packaging materials from the unit. Ensure all components, including the water tank, cleaning discs, and HEPA/Carbon filter, are present and undamaged.
2.2 Placement
Place the humidifier on a firm, level surface. Ensure there is adequate space around the unit for proper airflow, ideally at least 6 inches (15 cm) from walls or furniture.
2.3 Filling the Water Tank
- Pull out the water tank from the bottom front of the unit.
- Fill the tank with clean tap water. Distilled water is recommended to prevent mineral buildup.
- Slide the water tank back into the unit until it clicks securely into place.
2.4 Filter Installation
The HEPA/Carbon combination filter should be installed before first use. Refer to the unit's side panel for filter compartment access. Ensure the filter is correctly oriented as indicated by markings on the filter or unit.

4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning Discs and Water Tank
The CleanCel anti-bacterial discs and water tank should be cleaned regularly to prevent mineral buildup and maintain optimal performance. The discs are dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning. If using tap water, regular cleaning with a descaling solution may be necessary to remove calcium buildup.
4.2 Filter Replacement
The HEPA/Carbon combination filter should be replaced approximately once a year, depending on usage and air quality. Refer to the product manual for specific filter replacement instructions and compatible filter models.
4.3 General Cleaning
Wipe the exterior of the unit with a soft, damp cloth as needed. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
5. Troubleshooting
- Unit not humidifying or low humidity output:
Check the water level in the tank. Ensure the water tank is properly seated. Verify that the cleaning discs are spinning correctly and are free from excessive mineral buildup. Clean the discs and tank if necessary. Ensure the unit is not placed in an overly large room or near a strong draft. - Unusual odors:
Replace the HEPA/Carbon combination filter if it has been in use for an extended period (over a year). Clean the water tank and discs thoroughly. Ensure fresh water is used daily. - Unit making unusual noise:
Check for any obstructions in the fan or around the cleaning discs. Ensure the unit is on a stable, level surface. Clean the discs and water tank to remove any debris that might be causing noise. - Mineral buildup on components:
This is common with tap water. Use distilled water to minimize buildup. Regularly clean the water tank and cleaning discs with a descaling solution or a mixture of white vinegar and water.
