Honeywell HWM2030 - 3 Gallon Warm Mist Humidifier Owner's Manual page 7

We recommend that
you clean the humidifier
once a week, or more
often if you:
• Have hard water
• Notice a build-up of
impurities
• Detect unpleasant
odours
It is normal for deposits
from tap water to col-
lect in the base. DO
NOT USE SOAP, DETER-
GENTS OR ABRASIVE
CLEANSERS.
Normal cleaning
involves two steps:
SCALE REMOVAL and
DISINFECTING. Be sure
to perform these in the
proper order to avoid
harmful chemical inter-
actions.
• First, turn off and
unplug the humidifier.
Wait at least ten min-
utes for the humidifier
to cool.
• Remove the two
handled Water Tank.
• Remove the Power
Unit by pulling out the
Locking Knob and lifting
up from the base (Figure
3). Never remove the
Power Unit until the
humidifier has cooled.

REFILL &
RESTART
• DO NOT clean the
Power Unit or heating
element under running
water. Doing so may
cause damage or
personal injury.
• Use a dry, soft cloth
to wipe the surfaces.
Step #1: Weekly Scale
Removal
• Lift the removable
tray out of the unit.
• Fill the Base with one
8 ounce (250 mL) cup of
undiluted white vinegar.
Let solution stay for 20
minutes.
• While the vinegar is
in the Base, clean all
the interior surfaces
with a soft brush or
cloth to remove the
scale.
CLEANING
• Flush the Base thor-
oughly with clean,
warm water to remove
any scale and vinegar.
NOTE: The Removable
Tray is dishwasher safe.
If you use this method
you can skip the weekly
disinfecting step.
Step #2: Weekly
Disinfecting
• Be sure the water
tank is empty. Fill with 1
teaspoon chlorine
bleach and 1 US gallon
(3.7 litres) water. Let the
solution stay in the tank
20 minutes, swishing
every few minutes to
wet all surfaces.
• Empty the tank after
20 minutes. Rinse with
water until the bleach
smell is gone.
• Repeat this process
for the Removable Tray
if you have not cleaned
it in the dishwasher.
After disinfecting, repo-
sition the Medicine Cup,
Removable Tray, Power
Unit (locking securely),
and the Water Tank in
the base.
