Question 1

How do I clean and descale the Levoit Classic 160?

Accepted Answer

You should clean the tank every three days and descale it when you see mineral buildup. Remove the water tank, fill it with 3 cups (710 mL) of distilled white vinegar, swish it around, and let it soak on the base for 15-20 minutes. Scrub gently with a soft brush, then rinse all parts thoroughly with clean water.

Question 2

Are the Levoit Classic 160 parts dishwasher safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but only specific parts. The water tank, top cover, mist tube, and filter housing are dishwasher safe as long as the water temperature stays below 158°F (70°C). Never place the base chamber in the dishwasher, as water will instantly destroy the electronics.

Question 3

How often should I change the filter sponge?

Accepted Answer

Levoit recommends replacing the water filter sponge every month, though this depends heavily on the hardness of your water. If the sponge looks visibly dirty or stiff, it is time to change it. You can find official replacements by searching for SKU B09ZY9N6PD.

Question 4

Do I have to use distilled water?

Accepted Answer

While tap water works, Levoit strongly recommends using purified or distilled water. Using tap water will result in white mineral dust settling on your furniture and will require you to descale the machine much more frequently.
