5. After the 5 minutes, plug in the unit and turn
the Power Dial to I. In about 2-3 minutes, the
humidifier will begin to produce moisture.
6. If the refill light remains lit, unplug the
humidifier and wait a further 5 minutes.
IMPORTANT:
If you do not plan to use the humidifier for two or
more days, make sure any residual water is
drained from the water tank and base to prevent
algae or bacteria growth.
Replacing the Water Purification Filter
The water purification filter is used to retain
minerals in your water and provide a clean
moisture output. The filter life is determined by
the average daily use of your humidifier and the
water hardness in your area. Areas with hard
water will require more frequent replacement of
the filter. It is strongly recommended that the
filter be replaced at least every 2-3 months
(depending on use) or when the heating
element is starting to gather minerals on it.
To Replace the Filter:
1. Switch the humidifier to 0 - off and unplug.
Remove the tank, drain any water from the
base, lift out the used filter, and throw it
away.
2. Remove the protective bag from the new
filter and pre-soak the Water Purification
Filter thoroughly by immersing filter in water
for 5 minutes. Then replace in the water tray
and wait 15 minutes for water to pass
through the filter before turning on the unit.
Cleaning and Maintenance Instruction
The following maintenance procedures must be
routinely followed in order to ensure proper,
efficient operation of your humidifier. The unit
WILL FAIL if it is not cleaned properly.
Regular cleaning prevents scale build-up on the
heating element and tray. It also prevents micro-
organisms from growing on the tray and tank.
This ensures that maximum efficiency will be
achieved.
We cannot over-emphasize how essential
proper cleaning is to the maintenance and
continued use of your unit and the avoidance of
algae or bacteria build-up.
Regular Maintenance
The frequency of maintenance will depend on
the average daily use of your humidifier and the
water hardness of your area. It is recommended
that this procedure is carried out weekly or more
regularly if necessary.
1. Before cleaning, set the control to 0 - off
position and unplug the unit from the
electrical outlet.
2. Remove the water tank then unlock the
misting chamber by rotating the safety lock.
Lift mist chamber from the unit's base. Now
lift the tray from the base.
3. Empty water and minerals from the tray and
wash it through to remove any sediment and
dirt that has accumulated in the tray.
NOTE: It is imperative that the tray is cleaned
properly. The tray is dishwasher safe for easy
cleaning (Top rack of the dishwasher only).
4. Rinse out the tank out and refill with clean
cool water.
5. Wipe the heating element clean with a soft
cloth after it has had a chance to cool.
WARNING: If the misting chamber is left
assembled to the humidifier, it may take up to an
hour before the heating element is sufficiently
cool to be touched.
This humidifier heats the water producing a
clean moisture. Some of the impurities from the
water are collected in the Heating Chamber. The
Electronic Thermal Control Heating element is
lined with a Teflon coating that is designed to
provide the easiest cleaning to prolong the
operating efficiency of the humidifier.
DO NOT use any metal or hard objects to clean
the Heating Element. The coating can be
scratched if cleaned improperly.
Never use detergents, gasoline, kerosene, glass
cleaner, furniture polish, paint thinner or other
household solvents to clean any part of the
humidifier.
De-scaling Maintenance
• Scale needs to be removed as it becomes
noticeable. We recommend using Bionaire
®
Clean Away - Humidifier cleaning solution.
• Apply Solution with a plastic brush to scale
surfaces. Let it soak until residue is softened.
For cleaning the tank, mix 2 capsules of
solution with 2 litres of water. Let mixture
stand for several minutes, swishing every few
minutes. Drain solution and THOROUGHLY
RINSE the tank.
If not available follow these instructions:
1. Repeat steps 1-3 in the Maintenance section.
2. Clean the tray by partially filling the tray with
200ml of undiluted white vinegar. If the
element is heavily scaled, plug the humidifier
into an electrical socket and turn it ON for no
longer than 15 seconds. After this time turn
the humidifier OFF and unplug it from the
electrical outlet.
Let solution stand 20 minutes, cleaning all
interior surfaces with a soft brush. Dampen
a cloth with undiluted white vinegar and wipe
out entire tray to remove scale.
3. Rinse with clean warm water to remove
scale and the white vinegar solution before
beginning to disinfect the tank.
4. Wipe the heating element clean with a soft
cloth after it has had a chance to cool.
Disinfect tank:
1. Fill tank with 1 teaspoon of bleach and
3.5 litres of water.
2. Let the solution stand for 20 minutes, swishing
every few minutes. Wet all surfaces.
3. Empty the tank after 20 minutes, and rinse
well with water until the bleach smell is gone.
Dry with some paper towel.
4. Refill the water tank with cool water; replace
the water tank. Repeat Operating Instructions.
