How To Extend the Life of Your Humidifier
Mineral buildup on the humidifier’s heating element is harmful to the unit.
Therefore, routine maintenance is vital to the effectiveness and longevity
of your humidifier.
The normal service interval will vary from one-to-three months (i.e., one
or two cleanings during a typical humidification season, plus a thorough
cleaning at the end of the season). The hardness of your water, your
humidistat setting, weather conditions, home construction and the
number of occupants in the home all affect the amount of time between
cleanings.
NOTES: Due to the complexity of your Skuttle Steam Humidifier, we
strongly recommend that you make arrangements with your pre-
ferred HVAC or plumbing contractor to clean and service the unit at
regular intervals.
Some 60-series models (F60-1 and F60-2) are equipped with a
Skuttle Automatic Flushing Timer, which can reduce maintenance
significantly (see page 35). Nevertheless, it is wise to check humidifier
for mineral buildup every two months or so during the humidification
season, and to contact an HVAC dealer if necessary.)
Do not leave water in the humidifier over the warm-weather months.
If the home is left unattended for an extended period of time (e.g., when
you are on vacation), turn the humidistat and the water supply to the
humidifier off.
