5. Dry all parts completely before reassembly.
6. Reinstall the demineralization cartridge and refill with clean water.

CAUTION! Never immerse the base unit in water. Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, or detergents. Clean at least once a week during regular use.

Replacing the Demineralization Cartridge

The cartridge reduces white dust and should be replaced periodically.

1. Turn off and unplug the humidifier.
2. Remove the water tank and empty any remaining water.
3. Locate the cartridge slot in the base. Remove the old cartridge.

Note: Using the humidifier without a cartridge or with an expired cartridge may increase white dust output.
