The device was evaluated by draeger, and the odor was being caused by a foreign material (most likely mineral deposits) getting inside the evaporator.We do not know how the foreign material got into the evaporator.However, it was confirmed the user was not using distilled water as instructed in the instructions for use manual and the odor was eliminated by cleaning the evaporator of this foreign material.
