- Daily Water Change: To prevent mineral deposits and bacterial growth, drain the reservoir entirely and refill with fresh water daily, or at least every other day.
- Weekly Cleaning (Water Tank & Evaporating Basin):
- Unplug the humidifier and separate the upper and lower casings.
- Empty any remaining water from the water tank and evaporating basin.
- Add a splash of household vinegar to the empty water reservoir. Use a clean micro cloth to thoroughly wipe the reservoir to remove built-up mineral deposits. The surface should feel smooth.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- For deeper cleaning, add about a cup of household vinegar to the reservoir, fill halfway with water, reassemble the unit, and let it run for about 15 minutes. Vent the area or take the unit outside to avoid vinegar fumes.
- Drain the vinegar solution, rinse the reservoir, and fill with clean water. Run for another 15 minutes, then drain and rinse again.
- To remove any residual vinegar smell, add a half cup of baking soda (dissolved in a gallon of water) to the reservoir, fill halfway, and run for 15 minutes. Drain, rinse, and run with clean water again.
- Wipe the upper drive gear with vinegar occasionally to prevent mineral buildup.
- Periodic Disinfection (Optional): Every once in a while, you may add a teaspoon of bleach to a gallon of water. Use half of this solution in the machine, run for about 15 minutes, then fill to the line and run for another 15 minutes. Ensure proper ventilation. Follow with a baking soda rinse to neutralize odors.
- Drying: Allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembling or storing the humidifier.
