1. Unplug the unit.
2. Remove the water tank and empty any remaining water.
3. Separate the tank from the base.
4. Clean the tank with a mixture of mild dish soap and warm water. Use a soft brush for the interior. Rinse thoroughly.
5. Wipe the base exterior with a damp cloth. Do not submerge the base in water.
6. Clean the mist outlet with a cotton swab if clogged.
7. Allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembling.

Tip: For disinfecting, use a solution of 1 teaspoon of white vinegar per gallon of water. Rinse thoroughly afterward.

Filter Replacement

The wick filter (HWF100) should be replaced every 1-2 months, or when visibly discolored or hardened.

1. Unplug the unit and remove the water tank.
2. Lift out the old wick filter from the base.
3. Soak the new filter in cool water for 15 minutes.
4. Insert the new, wet filter into the filter frame in the base.

WARNING! Never operate the humidifier without a filter. A dirty filter reduces efficiency and can promote microbial growth.
