1.Note humidistat or control setting and turn dial to the “OFF” position.
2.Disconnect electrical power and turn off water supply.
3.Unlatch humidifier cover assembly (1) from base assembly (2) at the bottom of the cover, lift, and set aside.
4.Pull out the evaporative assembly (3) by grasping at the top and tipping out.
5.Remove the black distribution tray (4) from the evaporative assembly (3) by unsnap- ping the white plastic holding strips from the tabs at the end of the tray. Lightly scrape out any calcium deposits and clean the “V” notches (5) but do not scrape off the granular coating from the bottom. This textured surface helps ensure even water flow for maximum performance.
6.Slide the Water Panel evaporator (6) out from the white plastic scale control insert (7). Clean the insert frame by twisting and flexing it to loosen the calcium deposits or use a putty knife. Replace Water Panel evaporator annually with a new Water Panel evapo- rator (Stock No. 35). Slide the Water Panel evaporator back into the scale control insert with the red colored spot up and snap the black distribution tray (4) back into place.

10.Reconnect electrical power (9) and turn on the water supply.
