A NOTE ABOUT HUMIDITY  
.
.
It is best to keep the humidity level at about 40%-50% of relative humidity.  
In cold weather, windows and even some walls may fog or develop frost from  
excessive indoor humidity. If this occurs, reduce the mist output setting to avoid  
damage from condensed water dripping onto windowsills.  
.
.
Too much humidity in the room may allow moisture to accumulate on surfaces where  
bacteria and fungi can grow. Moisture that gathers may also damage furniture and  
walls, especially wallpaper.  
To reduce excessive humidity, especially in small rooms, leave the room door open  
and adjust the mist intensity control setting.  
MAINTENANCE  
It is important to keep ultrasonic cool mist humidifiers clean. Cleaning and disinfecting  
on a regular basis is important for maintaining the performance of your humidifier  
IMPORTANT  
DO NOT leave water in Water Tank or Water Basin when unit is not in use as it may  
result in the buildup of mineral deposits and bacteria that can inhibit the output  
efficiency of the humidifier. If water remains in the Water Tank for more than a day or  
two, bacterial growth is possible.

and empty the water. Rinse water tank.  
4. Make similar white vinegar/water solution. Pour into water basin. Let sit for 20-  
30 minutes, and then empty. Rinse water tank. Wipe dry with a clean, soft  
cloth.
