Cleaning
Cleaning is recommended for proper operation of your Vornado
humidifier. We suggest following the AHAM (Association of
Home Appliance Manufacturers) cleaning regimen several times
during the season.
Step 1
Turn the humidifier OFF and UNPLUG the unit.
Step 2
Remove the power head, water bottle(s) and the filter(s)
from the base.
Step 3
Empty the base and water bottle(s) and rinse
with clean tap water.
Step 4
As noted, depending on the quality of water in your home,
impurities can build up quickly or may take some time. It is
possible that some scale may form on the inside of the base.
To remove these deposits:
A.
Clean all interior surfaces of the base with
a soft brush or cloth to remove any scale.
For heavy or stubborn scale, mineral deposits
or mold, clean with a 50/50 (stronger if
desired) solution of white vinegar and water.
B.
Fill the water bottle(s) with a quantity
of the vinegar and water solution. Seal
the fill spout with the palm of your hand
and shake vigorously. Let the bottle(s)
stand a few minutes.
C.
Rinse the base and water bottle(s)
thoroughly with clean water to remove
cleaning solution.
D.
Dust or vacuum the power head to remove any dust or dirt that has built up.
Do not disassemble power head for cleaning. It has been designed to have long
life with non-corrosive thermoplastics and large tolerances to run clean and quiet
without maintenance.
Step 5
Reinstall the filter(s), power head and the water bottle(s).
For proper operation, the power head, base and
water bottle(s) must be properly aligned.

Parts & Controls
While your Vornado humidifier requires no assembly, you will
need to know how to disassemble it for cleaning, maintenance,
and filter replacement. The components are as follows: the power
head that houses the fan motor, and other controls, filter(s), a
base and water bottle(s).
There are two controls on your Vornado humidifier:
A fan power speed switch with a corresponding indicator
light to show the unit is on. You have a choice of 3 fan speeds.
The second control is a humidistat (not on some models). Rotate
the humidistat knob from MIN to MAX to regulate the humidity.
