Maintenance & Cleaning

Regular cleaning is essential for performance and longevity. Unplug the unit before any maintenance.

  1. Daily: Empty and refill the water tank with fresh water. Do not let water sit for more than 24 hours.
  2. Weekly Cleaning:
    • Disassemble: Remove tank from base. Separate the tank cap from the tank.
    • Clean all parts (tank, base, cap) with a soft cloth and a mixture of mild dish soap and clean water.
    • Use a soft brush (like a clean toothbrush) to gently clean the ultrasonic mist generator (metal disc) on the base.
    • Rinse all parts thoroughly with clean water to remove any soap residue.
    • Allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembling and using.
  3. Descaling (Monthly or as needed): If using tap water, mineral scale may form. Use a white vinegar solution (1 part vinegar to 2 parts water) to soak affected parts for 15-20 minutes, then scrub gently and rinse thoroughly.

CAUTION! Never immerse the base unit in water. Do not use abrasive cleaners, bleach, or harsh chemicals. Ensure unit is completely dry before plugging in.
