Duracraft DCM-200 - Manual (Page 6)

We recommend cleaning the humidifier once a week, more often if you have hard water or
notice a build up of impurities or detect unpleasant odors.
NOTE: THE USE OF OTHER WATER TREATMENT PRODUCTS MAY DAMAGE THE
FILTER OR HUMIDIFIER.
Cleaning involves two steps SCALE REMOVAL and DISINFECTING. Be sure to perform these
in the proper order to avoid harmful chemical interactions.
• First, turn off and unplug the humidifier.
• Remove the Water Tank and Motor Housing.
• Remove the Natural Cool Moisture™ filter from the Base.
• Discard any residual water from the Base.
• Clean all outside surfaces with a dry, soft cloth. DO NOT USE WATER.
THIS MAY DAMAGE THE HUMIDIFIER OR CAUSE ELECTRIC SHOCK.
STEP ONE:
SCALE REMOVAL
DISHWASHER-SAFE BASE
1. Fill the Base with either:
• one cup (8 ozs, 250 ml) of undiluted
white vinegar
OR
• Honeywell ® humidifier cleaner, part no.
HAC-101, following bottle instructions
2. Let solution stand for 20 minutes
3. With the vinegar or Honeywell ® humidifier
cleaner in the Base, clean all interior
surfaces with a soft cloth or brush to help
remove scales.
4. Rinse the Base thoroughly with water to
remove scale and cleaning solution.
STEP TWO:
DISINFECTING
WATER TANK
1. Fill the water tank with:
• 1 teaspoon of household bleach
• 1 gallon (4 L) of water.
Pour some of this solution into the Base.
2. Let solution stand for 20 minutes.
3. Rinse with water until the odor of bleach is
gone.
