Can you clean the water reservoir?
300684
I returned it before I ever had to clean it. It did not steam to my satisfaction.

Yes you can, easily. Rinse it out, take care not to submerge the machine of course. Just a bit of water, swish it around and pour it out. Then wipe out with dry cloth. There will be some hard water deposits on the heating core/part, not sure of the technical term, but vinegar and water will remove this. This machine is very easy to clean as well as use. Hope this helps.

There are two areas where the water resides - at the bottom where it is filled and another smaller area that handles water during the steaming process resting right above it. With the steaming process, everything that holds the hot/boiling water is kept rather clean. I do not use any additives in my food as I don't want anything to go down into the water. After the steaming process, the smaller tray can be washed with soap and water (haven't put it in the dishwasher) and the larger one at the bottom can be drained and simply wiped out when cooled. I love this steamer and have a friend who feels the same way....you will not be sorry!!!!

I contacted customer service and this is what they told me:"Hi Matthew, Thank you for contacting Luma Comfort. We do not recommend placing oils in the water reservoir, if you choose to do so run a cleaning cycle within in the unit. Sincerely, Lupita, Customer Care"Since this responce I added oils not to the water tank, but to the reservoir (we're the ultrasonic disc is) because the tank has the filter on it. It worked well while the oils lasted, but as expected they got diluted and flushed as the unit replenished its water.

Yes. The water flows from the reservoir into the base where it's wicked up by two evaporative pads (inside the housing). The air flowing over these pads becomes humidified and exits the top of the unit.

Better Rest Solutions, the distributor of the device, say you don't need to change the water. But, you do need to clean the reservoir every few weeks or a bacterial scum will form on the bottom. This is what I do.

Nope. The reservoir is designed for either water or mouthwash only. If you put a thick substance in the reservoir you will gum up the works.

Yes - use only plain water. Any cleaners, etc. will only serve to clog the machine and may render it useless.

Yes, I have used mine for about 3 hours and there was still water left in the reservoir.

We have not used a water filter on this as the water we fill the reservoir tank is already filtered.

It is VERY easy to clean and there is only one large reservoir. I rinse it out about once a week or so and really clean it about 1x a month. It's very quiet.

You can, but the pik is so hard to remove that I, with arthritis in my hands, can hardly remove it, so I leave it open and have a paper towel that I draped over the top of the reservoir wet and when it dries, it shapes to the top and dust/debris can't get in. I wish the pic came out easier - but we do what we have to do to make things work.

Yes you can but filter is not greatest we purchase new one in petsmart clean water better..

Water reservoir is removable and this one did not leak - only after placing it on the machine did it leak.You will need to pull it out.

I have not had to clean the unit - it comes with a "demineralization" cartridge that is built into the reservoir lid. If it will not be used for a period of several days, empty and let the reservoir dry to prevent mildew.

U can. But it has moving parts that water can get into. Just need to dry it out completely.

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.

You don't have to open the reservoir to clean it. Bunn recommends pouring white vinegar through it once, followed by several pots of plain water. That works OK, but I found a product on the internet (just google, automatic coffee pot cleaner) that is a natural citrus powder that works even better. Same procedure. My Bunn is about 10 years old and works great; now I buy them as gifts.

you can refill the reservoir, or you can buy a new system, i prefer buy a new one because is cheaper, thank you :))
