6. Onderhoud en reiniging

Regular cleaning is essential for optimal performance and to prevent mineral buildup and bacterial growth. Always unplug the humidifier before cleaning.

Dagelijks onderhoud:

• Leeg het resterende water uit de tank en de basis.
• Rinse the water tank and base thoroughly with cool water.
• Laat alle onderdelen volledig aan de lucht drogen voordat u ze weer in elkaar zet of opbergt.

Wekelijkse reiniging (ontkalking):

1. Loskoppelen en demonteren: Unplug the humidifier and remove the water tank. Empty any water from the tank and base.
2. Schoonwatertank: Fill the water tank with 1 cup (250 ml) of undiluted white vinegar. Swish the vinegar around in the tank to coat all interior surfaces. Let it soak for 20 minutes.
3. Schone basis: Pour 1/2 cup (125 ml) of undiluted white vinegar into the base. Gently wipe the interior surfaces of the base with a soft cloth or sponge soaked in vinegar. Pay special attention to the water pick-up tube and transducer (the small disc that produces mist). Let it soak for 20 minutes.
4. Remove Water Pick-up Tube: For thorough cleaning, carefully remove the water pick-up tube from the bottom of the motor housing and soak it in vinegar for 5 minutes. This step is crucial for proper humidistat function.
5. Spoelen: After soaking, thoroughly rinse the water tank, base, and water pick-up tube with clean, cool water until the smell of vinegar is gone. Ensure no vinegar residue remains.
6. Disinfect (Optional): For disinfection, mix 1 teaspoon of bleach with 1 gallon of water. Fill the tank with this solution and pour some into the base. Let it stand for 20 minutes, then rinse thoroughly until the bleach smell is gone.
7. Droog: Allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembling. It is beneficial to let the unit dry out for 2-3 hours after use, especially if used continuously.
