Care and Maintenance

Cleaning your humidifier regularly helps eliminate odors, bacterial and fungal
growth. Ordinary household bleach is a good disinfectant and can be used to
wipe out the humidifier base after cleaning.
We recommend cleaning your humidifier at least once a week to maintain
optimum environmental conditions from your humidifier.
We also recommend using Essick Air Bacteriostat Treatment each time
you refill your humidifier to eliminate bacterial growth. Add bacteriostat
according to the instructions on the bottle. Please call 1-800-547-3888 to order
Bacteriostat Treatment, reference part number 1970.

Cleaning Instructions

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, fire or damage to humidifier, use only
cleaners specifically recommended for humidifiers. Never use flammable,
combustible or poisonous materials to clean your humidifier. To reduce the risk
of scalds and damage to humidifier, never put hot water in humidifier.
CAUTION: Local water purity varies from area to area and under certain
conditions water impurities and airborne bacteria may promote the growth of
microorganisms in the reservoir of the humidifier. To reduce bacteria growth that
may cause odors and be harmful to your health, use only HDC12 replacement
filters. We also recommend using EPA approved bacteriostat, and humidifier
cleaner, available at your local retailer.
NOTE: If it is necessary to use approved bacteriostat, follow directions correctly.
Each bottle of the whole house humidifier holds 2.375 gallons/9 litres of water.
Step 1:
To make cleaning easier, the humidifier cabinet should be empty and completely
dried out. To accomplish this, use the following method:
a. On the back side of the humidifier cabinet, find the float retainer. In normal
operating mode, the retainer will be positioned in the bottom of the slot in
the cabinet. Push the retainer up to the top slot position in the cabinet until it
locks in place. (See "Manual Dryout" section on page 8.)
b. Allow the humidifier to run until there is no water left in the cabinet.
c. Unplug humidifier.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock, always unplug humidifier before
cleaning or servicing. If humidifier is not unplugged, fan could start after housing
is removed.
Step 2:
To Remove Parts
a. Open the pivoting lid, remove water bottles and 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.
