Disinfecting Unit
Disinfect the humidifier at the end of the season, (or more often if needed).
1. Clean as described above.
2. Fill reservoir half full of water and add 1 teaspoon of household bleach. Use same bleach and water solution to clean reservoir in base. Let sit for 20 minutes.
3. Rinse base thoroughly until no smell of bleach remains.
4. Wipe down exterior with soft cloth dampened with clean water, then dry unit with soft, clean cloth.
5. If you plan to continue using the humidifier, refill and install a new wick as described in this manual.
6. If storing the humidifier for the season, place it in the original carton, if available. Do not store in attic or other high temperature location, as damage will occur.
Tips for Humidity
Setting
• To start, set the humidity level between 45-50%.
Adjust to desired level after getting a baseline reading.
• It may take up to 48 hours of operation to see overall humidity levels change.
• CDC tests show that humidity levels of 43% greatly reduce the ability of the flu virus to spread.
• We recommend using high speeds during the day to spread humidified air rapidly, and using low speed at night.
