MINERAL BUILD-UP
The best way to minimize mineral build-up is to use distilled or de-mineralized water when
using your Element Steam Humidier. It is recommended the heat element and silicone parts
be cleaned weekly or when Attention Code "CL" appears on control panel in order to remove
any deposits that form. This will help to extend the life of the product and keep it functioning
at its maximum potential.
Note: Do not use hard brushes, steel wool or other abrasives on heat
element to avoid damage.
WARNING: Allow unit to cool (30 minutes for complete cooling)
before cleaning heat element. Do not allow heat element to touch
other objects as it cools.
REMOVE MINERAL BUILD-UP
The Element Steam Humidier includes a packet of Vornado Cleaner & Descaler (placed
inside of the owner's guide). Consisting of citric acid, this agent is used to loosen and remove
mineral build-up on the heat element. It is easy-to-use and safe for all Vornado Steam
Humidiers.
1. Turn off humidier, unplug and let cool before cleaning. Do not run unit at any time during
the cleaning process. Disassemble humidier as outlined in CLEANING.
2. Empty any water in base and silicone boil chamber & reservoir.
3. Combine granules from the cleaning packet and mix with 6 oz. of water in a measuring cup
(not included) until completely dissolved. Pour mixture into the silicone boil chamber and
