1) Turn the unit off and unplug
the cord.
2) Remove the water bottles from the
humidifier and lay bottles on their
backs.
3) Remove the top housing from the
tray. See Item 3 "CLEANING THE
TRAY."
4) Locate the air filters mounted above
the air inlet grille on both sides of
the humidifier. The air filters are flexible. Place a finger underneath the
bottom edge and slide filter out of the slots in the base. Pull it up and
out.
5) Inspect the air filters. The air filters are a
two-stage device. The fluffy white media is an
ELECTROSTATIC charged particulate filter for
removing dust and small particles. The black
inner media is an activated carbon filter for
removing odors.
6) Clean filters are important to maintain performance. Observe the
amount of contaminate on the white electrostatic side of the filter. If there
is a visible layer of dust accumulation, the filter should be cleaned or
replaced.
7) Replacing the air cleaning filters at least once each humidifying season
is recommended. The air filters may be gently cleaned with a soft-bristle
brush. Care should be used not to pull apart the bonded area around
the edge of the filter. Frequent cleaning will lengthen the life of the air
filter.
8) To replace the air filters, slip the side edges (white side up) into the slots
above the inlet grille.
END-OF-SEASON MAINTENANCE
Caution: Disconnect power before cleaning or servicing.
1) Follow weekly cleaning instructions when humidifier will not be used for
at least one week or more.
2) At the end of the humidification season, discard used evaporative wicks
and air cleaning filters.
3) Clean, disinfect and dry completely before storing. Do not store with
water inside water bottles or water tray. If used wicks are not being
replaced, run unit without water to dry wicks completely before storage.
4) Store in cool, dry location.
