Cleaning Your Humidifier

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, fire or damage to humidifier, use only cleaners specifically rec- ommended for humidifiers. Never use flammable, combustible or poi- sonous 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 air- borne bacteria may promote the growth of micro-organisms in the reservoir of the humidifier.

To retard bacteria growth that may cause odors and be harmful to your health, use only Emerson HDC-2R or HDC411 replacement filters. We also recommend using liquid EPA- approved bacteriostat, available at your local retail store.

NOTE: If it is necessary to use approved bacteriostat, follow directions correctly.

1.To make cleaning easier, the cabinet should be emptied. To accomplish this, allow the humidifier to run until the automatic shutoff turns the humidifier “OFF”. Unplug the humidifier.

WARNING: If humidifier is not un- plugged, fan could start after housing is removed.

Refer to pages 9 and 10 to remove parts if necessary.

NOTE: Before removing the internal parts of the humidifier cabinet, we recommend moving the humidifier to an area where floor coverings are not susceptible to water damage, i.e., kitchen or bath area.

2.Remove the bottle cover and water bot- tle. Grasp the fan assembly at the front center and rear center, and lift it off the cabinet. Set aside on a clean flat sur- face.

3.Lift the filter housing assembly out of the cabinet and set to the side.

4.Remove the filters and water level float from the humidifier cabinet. To remove the water level float simply pinch the float retainer to disengage it from the rear of the cabinet.

5.Empty any remaining water in the bot- tom of cabinet.

6.Proceed to “Bi-Weekly Maintenance” or “End-of-Season Maintenance”.

7.Continue as described below.

8.Install new filters in the humidifier. Reinstall the float and float retainer into the cabinet and install the filter housing on top of the new filters. Position the fan assembly on top of the cabinet and return the humidifier to the desired location for use.

9.Refill water bottle with fresh cool water and replace bottle cover.

10.Plug the unit into a 120V A.C. power outlet and set the controls per the “Operating Humidifier Controls” section of this manual.
