  • Water Basin: Mineral deposits will accumulate over time. The water basin should be cleaned when this occurs.
  • Tank Cleaning: Put 1/2 teaspoon of chlorine bleach and 1/2 gallon of water in the tank. Let the solution sit for about 20 minutes, swishing every few minutes. Empty the tank and rinse well until the bleach odor is gone. Be careful not to splash the solution on surfaces/clothing that may be damaged.

Troubleshooting (Common Issues and Solutions):

• Indicator not illuminated (no air/mist):
  • Cause: Power cord not plugged in/switch off, no water in tank.
  • Solution: Plug in cord/turn on switch, fill water tank.
• Indicator illuminated (air, no mist):
  • Cause: Mist Control Dial not turned up, water level float cap not down, water level in bath too high.
  • Solution: Turn Mist Control Dial clockwise, confirm float cap is not stuck, remove some water from the basin, screw down the float cap.
• Indicator illuminated (no air/fog):
  • Cause: Water level in the water bath is too high.
  • Solution: Remove some water from the unit's water basin.
