We would like to offer a word of advice regarding routine maintenance on humidifiers where bacterial odours can quickly become apparent if cleaning and hygiene of a humidifier is not adhered to.
Products such as humidifiers often require a certain amount of attention to ensure proper operation and hygiene. Please follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for cleaning or servicing. The manufacturers recommendations are simply a general guide to maintenance and cleaning frequency. However, this frequency may often be greater than indicated within any manufacturer’s instructions.
The cleaning frequency is greatly affected by the environment in which the humidifier is used as indoor air can be far more polluted than the air outdoors. The hardness of water used in the humidifier also has a major affect on the frequency of cleaning and the replacement of consumable parts. Failure to maintain the humidifier in a good condition can affect performance, cause premature component failure, create foul odours, and importantly may invalidate your warranty.
