Cleaning and Maintenance (cont’d.)
Step 2:
To Remove Parts
a. Open the pivoting lid and remove water bottles
nd set aside. Grasp the fan assembly front
center and rear center. Lift off and set aside on
a clean flat surface. The filter housings are
now accessible.
b. Before removing the internal parts of the
humidifier cabinet, we recommend moving the
humidifier to an area where floor covers are
not susceptible to water damage, i.e.; kitchen
or bath area. Lift the filter housing assemblies
out of the cabinet and set to the side.
c. Remove the water level float from the
humidifier cabinet by pinching the float retainer
to release it from the cabinet. The cabinet
should be empty before cleaning. The cabinet
consists of the lower areas of the humidifier
where the filters are during normal operation
time.
d. Empty cabinet of any remaining water.
e. Proceed to “Bi-Weekly Maintenance” or “End of
Season Maintenance”.
f. Remove old filters and dispose of properly as
described on pages 11-12.
Step 3:
Install new filters (purchase the correct evaporative
wicking filter pads HDC12 for your humidifier) into
the location where the old filters were positioned.
Install the filter housings with the new filters into
the correct location. Reinstall the water level float.
NOTE: Float retainer should be positioned in
normal operating mode. Assure that it is positioned
in the bottom of the slot in the back of the cabinet
(See page 9 for diagram of slot).
Position the fan assembly on top of the cabinet
and return the humidifier to the desired location for
use.
Refill humidifier bottles with fresh cool water and
return them to the cabinet. Plug the unit into a 120
volt A.C. power outlet and set the controls per the
“Operating Humidifier Controls” section (page 8) of
this manual.
Removing Scale
1. Fill the reservoir with water and add one 8
oz. (236 ml) cup of undiluted white vinegar.
Let solution stay for 20 minutes.
2. Clean all interior surfaces with soft brush.
Dampen soft cloth with undiluted white
vinegar and wipe out reservoir to remove
scale.
3. Rinse thoroughly with clean warm water to
remove scale and cleaning solution before
disinfecting the reservoir.
Disinfecting Humidifier Cabinet and
Water Bottles
1. Fill humidifier cabinet with
1 teaspoon (5 ml) chlorine bleach in 1
gallon (3.8 litres) of water.
Let solution stay for 20 minutes, carefully
swishing every few minutes. Wet all
surfaces normally exposed to water.
2. Empty humidifier cabinet after 20 minutes.
Rinse with water until bleach smell is gone.
Allow unit to dry out completely.
3. Water bottles should be cleaned in the
same manner.
Bi-Weekly Maintenance
End of Season Maintenance
1. Follow “Bi-Weekly Maintenance” instructions at
end of humidification season.
2. Remove and throw away filters.
3. Let humidifier dry completely before
storing. Do not store with water inside cabinet
or water bottles.
4. Store in cool, dry location.
5. Install a new filters in clean humidifier before
next season begins.
6. “Bi-Weekly Maintenance” procedure is also
recommended if you do not plan to run the
humidifier for one week or more.
