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.
