Care & Usage

Always turn the unit off and unplug before cleaning. Remove the water tank and wick filter, then empty any excess water from the tank and base. Fill base with Holmes® Cleanse Clean® solution to remove mineral build-up. Soak for 20-30 minutes and then rinse the base and re-install the wick filter. 

Care and Cleaning

• Humidifiers provide comfort by adding moisture to dry, heated indoor air. To get the most benefit from the humidifier and to avoid product misuse, follow all instructions carefully, specifically the operation, care and maintenance guidelines.
• Please note this is an electrical appliance and requires attention when in use.
• Cleaning your humidifier every one or two weeks, depending on the water conditions is important in order to maintain efficient, healthy, odor-free operation. Water quality varies widely and, combined with build-up of mineral scale in your humidifier, may under certain conditions promote the growth of micro-organisms in the water tank.

Before cleaning, please note the following:

• Do not use soap, detergents, abrasives, gasoline, glass or furniture polish, or boiling water to clean any part of your ultrasonic humidifier. These will interfere with the proper operation of your unit and may affect its appearance.
• Do not use sharp or metal objects to clean mineral deposits in the reservoir. Contact with sharp objects can result in damage to the plastic.
• Mineral deposits should be soaked for up to 20 minutes in a household cleanser or in plain vinegar and water to help with their removal.

Daily maintenance:

• Before cleaning, set the humidity control switch to the Off position and unplug the unit from the electrical outlet. Lift off the tank of the humidifier.
• Carry the base and the tank to the sink, then drain and rinse the base and tank thoroughly to remove any sediment or dirt. Wipe clean and dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.
• Refill the tank with cool tap water as instructed in “Operating Instructions”. Do not over fill.
• If moisture forms on walls or window, turn the humidifier off.

No, medication should ever be added directly into the water. If you would like to use a mentholatum scented inhalant, then you can place it in the medicine cup of a warm mist humidifier or vaporizer. We recommend that no scents or oils to the humidifier as we do not or understand the affects they may have on the humidification process. We have created and tested some scent tablets for the water that are available for purchase as well.

Always use cool water in your humidifier.

Always turn the unit off, allow it to cool and unplug before cleaning. Remove the water tank and empty any excess water from the tank and base. Fill base with Holmes® Cleanse Clean® solution to remove mineral build-up. Soak for 20-30 minutes before thoroughly rinsing the base and heating element with warm water. Clean the tank by adding one teaspoon chlorine to 1 gallon of water. Let soak for 20 minutes, making sure all surfaces are wet. Rinse thoroughly until bleach has been removed and replaced with fresh water.

Clean and dry the humidifier thoroughly as directed in the owner's manual. Be sure to leave the water reservoir cap off the unit when in storage. If the unit uses any filters, it is best to remove the filter before storing. If the humidifier has a permanent filter it is best to thoroughly clean the filter before it is stored.

We recommend cleaning humidifiers weekly, more if it uses hard water.
