Humidifier emits a white dust on nearby surfaces

Safety: No internal repair is needed; this is a water quality issue.

Steps:

• Use distilled water: Switch to distilled or demineralized water to eliminate mineral dust.
• Install demineralization cartridge: If your Sunbeam model supports it, install a demineralization filter cartridge in the tank.
• Clean surfaces: Wipe affected surfaces with a damp cloth to remove existing dust.
• Regular cleaning: Clean the tank and base weekly to prevent mineral buildup.
