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.
