Can I leave water remaining in the water tank if the appliance is not in use?

Yes, depending on the water. Distilled water or reverse osmosis water is the safest, no bacteria in water to rot as can be the case with just plain tap water. If you use tap water, empty it after each use. If you use distilled water or RO water, you can leave it for months with no harmful effects. I have owned 2 and the 1st one was used for 10+ years and we ALWAYS left the water in until it ran too low and just added more. NEVER had problems or a slime build up.... which is why it's worth it to use the right water!

Yes you can. The hand held unit can detached. Simply rinse under running water. If you manually clean it regularly then you'll need apply a drop of light machine oil once a week. Hope that answers your question.

I personally do not leave the pump on when not in use. Grey water flowing by gravity should go thru, but if there is any debris, it may stick in the pump.

Yes. When the water tank is empty, the unit has an automatic shut off. I've never had any problems and leave the unit on 24/7 at the desired humidity level.

No. You can leave the water for the next use. There is no harm to the steamer.

Yes. You MUST unplug it BEFORE removing it from liquid. If you don't do this the unit will be damaged.

Great Question......I just leave the water in the reservoir although if you are going to store it for more than a month or so I think I would just pull the reservoir out and turn the unit over so I empties. I have not found a way to get the reservoir out either.

Depends. I use water from the fridge that is already filtered and don't use the coffee machine filter

No. We leave ours on all of the time. It takes about 20-30 minutes to heat up when water is added. Uses very little electricity. We love it, one of our most used and most favorite appliances.

When I spoke with New Air, they told me that the only thing I would need to do is empty the water...and the unit will let you know when it needs to be emptied. There is a water plug and a hose that comes with the unit. I have not had to empty the unit yet...possibly because I have only used it for heating so far. I will know if I need to drain the unit when I use the air conditioning.

The tank is not removable, just the plastic basket. I see no need to remove it. I use a mixture of just a little Windex and mostly distilled water. If it starts to look a little murky, I remove the basket and rinse it. Then carefully holding the cord and top out of the way, dump the contents out of one side, avoiding the control panel. Then just wipe dry.

We empty it every time we use it. I would think that if you left the water in it that you may get a build up of sediments in the tank from the water.

I'm not sure. The instruction read that it should not be used outdoors, so I would say close the vents. As long as water does not get into the unit there shouldn't be a problem.

I don't know it you can empty it, but Cuisinart suggests that the internal water tank be purged if you haven't used the unit in more than a week. Purge by running a 12 oz hot water cycle three times.

Just pull the water container out and dump the water. Water should be fully drained within 1 min after unit turned off.

We read somewhere that you can leave the water in it. I would assume because you used distilled water there is not all the rust and sediments in the water to cause damage to the stainless steel tank.
