How to Fill

1. Grasp tank handle and lift up from humidifier base
2. Turn the tank upside down—remove the tank cap by turning it counter-clockwise.
3. Fill the water tank with clean, cool (not cold) tap water. We recommend using distilled water if you live in a hard water area.
4. Replace the tank cap by turning clockwise until tight
5. Install the tank back on the base of the unit. How to Fill Make sure the tank is firmly seated.

CAUTION: Before filling unit with water, turn power off and unplug unit from the outlet.

About White Dust

Use of high-mineral content hard water may cause a white mineral residue to accumulate on room surfaces near the humidifier. The mineral residue is commonly called “white dust”. The higher the mineral content (the harder your water is), the greater the potential for white dust. The white dust is not caused by a defect in the humidifier, but is due only to minerals suspended in the water.

Demineralization Cartridge

The HoMedics demineralization cartridge will help reduce the potential for white dust, a deposit of minerals left behind from using hard water in your humidifier. The cartridge should be replaced every 30-40 fillings. The cartridge may need to be replaced more often when very hard water is used. When the cartridge needs to be changed, white dust will form around the humidifier. If white residue still forms around the humidifier after a new cartridge has been inserted, please make sure that the water you are using is untreated. If you live in a hard water area, or use a water softener, we recommend the use of distilled water for better results from the humidifier. Do not use with water softeners.

Installing Instructions

1. Remove demineralization cartridge from packaging and let it soak in water for 10 minutes.
2. Remove the tank from humidifier base. (Fig. 3)
3. Place 1 demineralization cartridge down into left side matching slot in the humidifier base. (Fig 9)
4. Place the tank back on the base, making sure the tank is firmly seated. (Fig. 7)

Cleaning and Care

CAUTION: Before cleaning the unit, turn power off and unplug unit from the outlet.

Tank Cleaning

Remove the water tank from the humidifier base by lifting it by the handle from the main unit. Unscrew the tank cap; wipe the tank with a soft cloth then rinse it with clean water. (Fig. 10)Suggestion: Clean the water tank once every two to three weeks, depending on your water conditions.

Ultrasonic Nebulizer Cleaning

Put small amount of mild dish soap on the surface of the ultrasonic nebulizer, then pour in some water and soak for 5 minutes. Brush clean with soft bristle brush (not included) and rinse. (Fig. 11)

Surface Cleaning

Clean the surface of the unit with a clean damp soft cloth. (Fig. 12)
