Humidifier emits unpleasant or musty odor during operation

Safety: Unplug the Cecotec humidifier before cleaning. Avoid inhaling cleaning chemicals.

Steps:

• Empty and rinse: Empty the tank and base completely. Rinse with clean water.
• Disinfect: Fill the tank with a solution of 1 part white vinegar to 3 parts water. Let it sit for 30–60 minutes, then run the unit for a few minutes in a well-ventilated area. Empty and rinse thoroughly.
• Brush cleaning: Use a soft brush to scrub the base, corners, and water channels.
• Filter (if present): Replace any internal water or air filters according to Cecotec's schedule.
• Maintenance: Change water daily and clean the unit weekly to prevent odor.
