CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning your humidifier regularly helps eliminate odors and bacterial and

fungal growth. Ordinary household bleach is a good disinfectant and can be used

to wipe out the humidifier base and reservoir after cleaning.

We recommend cleaning your humidifier at least once every two weeks to maintain

optimum environmental conditions for your home.

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#1970.
