8. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• Always unplug the unit before removing the water tank.

IMPORTANT!
To avoid deformation or wear of working surfaces,
resulting in decreased atomizing or other malfunctions,
do not use metallic brushes, blades or talc powder
to wipe the atomizer’s surface. The water tank may
leak upon heavy impacts. In case of water leakage,
immediately stop using the unit and contact a service
center. To keep the unit dry, remove water after cleaning
and make sure to dry the unit’s case. Make sure that
there is no water left inside the unit’s case. Prior to a
long break in using the unit, dry its surface and pack it
into a plastic bag, then put it into a box. Store the unit in
a low-humidity room. Storing the unit undried results in
generation of mold
