Replacing the Wick
3
NOTE: The humidier’s wick is made of paper and is NOT washable.
Over time, minerals in your water will build up in the humidier’s wick, degrading
its ability to absorb water and reducing the humidier’s output. Therefore, you
should replace the humidier’s wick every season, depending on the hardness of
your water.
1. Turn the humidier off and unplug the unit.
2. Lift the main housing, remove it from the base, and set it aside. Figure 7.
3. Grasp the humidier wick, hold it over the base, and squeeze the water from
it. Figure 8. This will keep water from dripping onto your oor. You may also
want to wrap the wick in a towel to keep it from dripping while you transport
it to disposal.
4. Replace the old wick with a new Hunter humidier wick. New wicks are
available at your local Hunter retailer or at www.hunterfan.com.
5. Ensure the wick is properly seated, resting on the bottom of the base and not
tilted or otherwise out of position.
6. Return the main housing to its position on the base. Make certain the main
housing is properly seated on the base.
7. Plug the humidier’s power cord into a standard household power outlet and
turn the power/speed control to your desired setting.
