Care and Maintenance
Cleaning your humidifier regularly helps eliminate odors, bacterial and fungal growth.
Ordinary household bleach is a good disinfectant and can be used to wipe out the
humidifier base and bottle after cleaning.
We recommend cleaning your humidifier at least once a week to maintain optimum
environmental conditions from your humidifier.
We also recommend using Essick Air Bacteriostat Treatment each time you refill
your humidifier to eliminate bacterial growth.
Add bacteriostat according to the
instructions on the bottle. Please call 1-800-547-3888 to order Bacteriostat Treatment
reference part number 1970.

housing away from
the base. Place the top housing
on a flat surface. See illustration.
