MIneRal absoRPTIon PaD InsTRUcTIons
Warm mist humidifiers do not spread fine mineral dust into the air that you breathe nor
onto your furniture, the way that other types of humidifiers do The mineral dust remains
trapped in the humidifier's hot water reservoir Use of Mineral Absorption Pads will play
a major role in capturing and removing minerals from the hot water reservoir, preventing
a stubborn mineral buildup The unit can run without pads, but more frequent cleaning
will be required The mineral absorption pad for this unit is EMP-17P
1 Before starting humidifier, place mineral absorption pad in the hot water reservoir
After the humidifier has been operating, the water will become HOT, and CAUTION
should be exercised when handling mineral absorption pad It is best to allow humidifier
water to cool down, and to use tongs or long tweezers when handling pad
2 The useful life of the mineral absorption pad will vary, depending on the mineral content
of the water used In areas of moderate mineral content, the mineral absorption pad
should be changed after approximately (3) weeks of continuous use If the water is
“Hard Water”, the pad should be changed more frequently The best way to tell when the
pad should be changed is to examine it AFTER the water has cooled down, to see if it
is still soft and pliable When the pad is near the end of its life, it becomes stiff and hard
and should be replaced with a new pad Another sign you need to change the pad is
when scale begins to build up on the interior of the hot water reservoir

cleanInG anD MaInTenance
Water contains minerals and other particles During operation, most of these minerals
will remain in the water reservoir Gradual buildup of deposits will coat the hot water
reservoir and reduce its efficiency The importance of routine cleaning and care cannot
be over-emphasized Hard water contains more minerals and other particles
If a mineral absorption pad appears to disintegrate (normally due to use of softened
water), discontinue use of pads
CLeaning instruCtiOns
imPOrtant! failure to perform the necessary cleaning steps will damage unit.

and remove the cap by turning it counterclockwise. Clean out any foreign matter that
has accumulated inside the fitting from which the cap was removed. after cleaning,

5 Pour about 1 cup of white vinegar into either reservoir and allow it to soak for only
20 to 30 minutes
6 Hold the base of the humidifier over the sink and tilt it on its side to empty the vinegar
Fill the cold and hot water reservoirs with clean, warm water to remove all traces of
the vinegar Remove any buildup of minerals in the hot water reservoir using a small
brush, such as a toothbrush NOTE: The buildup is due to water hardness The harder
your water, the more often this maintenance will be needed Empty all of this water
by turning the unit on its side DO NOT ALLOW WATER TO ENTER THE BOTTOM
OF THE HUMIDIFIER BASE OR ANY OTHER OPENINGS, OR IMMERSE THE
CORD AND PLUG
7 Disinfect the water tank using a solution of one teaspoon of household chlorine bleach
in 1 gallon of water Let the solution sit for 20 minutes, swishing every few minutes to
wet all surfaces Empty the tank completely; rinse thoroughly until all of the bleach smell
is gone Fill the tank with fresh, cool water and replace it onto the humidifier base
8 NEVER use any metal or hard objects to clean plastic parts—this may cause scratching
of the plastic parts NEVER use gasoline, kerosene, glass cleaner, furniture polish,
paint thinner or other household solvents to clean any part of the humidifier
9 Each day the reservoir and tank should be drained, rinsed and refilled with fresh
tap water
10 To clean exterior surfaces, use a solution of water and mild detergent with a wrung-out
damp cloth Rinse and wring out the cloth and wipe the exterior surfaces again
Finally, wipe with a dry cloth Allow sufficient time to dry before plugging the electrical
cord into the outlet
