Step 1: Unplug The Humidifier
Safety first! Before tackling any cleaning project, make sure to unplug the humidifier. The last thing you want is to get a nasty electric shock!
A Word of Caution
Did you know that some Air O Swiss models have additional electrical parts? If you haven’t identified and removed all electrical components, it’s best to wait and seek advice from a qualified electrician.
Step 2: Empty Water Tank
The water tank must be emptied before you can start cleaning. If the water tank is too heavy for you, then enlist the help of a friend or other family member to help you. And don’t forget to turn off the humidifier before attempting to remove the tank.
Tip
Always work quickly once you’ve removed the water tank. If the tank sits for too long, you might end up with some unfriendly critters taking up residence in your humidifier.
Step 3: Clean The Water Tank And Reservoir
You’ll need to use white vinegar and water to clean both the water tank and reservoir. Combine a generous portion of vinegar and lukewarm water and thoroughly scrub both pieces until they sparkle like a Swiss watch. However, we’d like to remind you not to use detergents or any other cleaning solution. The detergents could damage your Air O Swiss model.
Did You Know?
The classic Swiss air humidifier models often feature an external reservoir. When the water level in the tank gets low, the model automatically draws from the reservoir. This adds to your ease of mind and gives you one less thing to worry about.
Step 4: Clean The Fins
This is one area that often gets overlooked when it comes to cleaning your humidifier. The fins (or slits) within the water tank can get clogged up with mineral deposits. To avoid this, clean the fins using a toothbrush and clean water from time to time. You don’t need to use any detergents. And if your model is equipped with a filter, be sure to replace it every 6-12 months.
Preventative Measure
To ensure optimal performance, use distilled or filtered water in your Air O Swiss model. In this way, you can reduce the amount of impurities that enter the system and reduce the amount of maintenance work needed.
Step 5: Dry The Water Tank and Reservoir
It’s highly recommended to use a soft cloth or paper towel to dry the tank and reservoir. Also, make sure to inspect the tank and reservoir after drying. Ensure that all the water has been removed before you attempt to put the tank back into the model.
Step 6: Reassemble The Parts
Once you’ve ensured everything is dry, reassemble the parts and plug in your model. Be sure to turn the power on and inspect the tank and reservoir for any water leaks.
Cleaning your Air O Swiss humidifier is a relatively easy task. Just follow the steps outlined above and you’ll be sure to get the most out of your device. But don’t forget to direct any complicated electrical issues to a qualified technician. As the Swiss would say, their expertise is the key to success.
