Cleaning of Humidifier (continued)

Step 3

Bi-Weekly Maintenance

Removing Scale

1.Fill the humidifier base with one 8 oz. cup of undiluted white vinegar. Let solution stay 20 minutes.

2.Clean all interior surfaces with a soft brush. Dampen a soft cloth with undiluted white vinegar and wipe out the base to remove scale.

3.Rinse thoroughly with clean warm water to remove scale and cleaning solution.

Disinfecting Base

1.Pour 1 gallon of water and 1 teaspoon chlorine bleach into the base. Let solution stay for 20 minutes, carefully swishing every few minutes. Wet all surfaces normally exposed to water.

2.Empty base after 20 minutes. Rinse with water until bleach smell is gone. Allow unit to dry out completely.

NOTE: The water bottle should be cleaned in the same manner as the base. Rinse thoroughly with clean water after all steps are complete.

Step 4

Replacing Parts

1.Install a new filter (MAF-1) or the filter previously set aside if it is in good condition into the base. Coil the filter and position it between the uprights in the bottom of the base. The start and finish of the coil should be captured in the centre of the base (see diagram) and the filter should be resting on the floor of the base.

2.Return the housing assembly to the top of the base. Return the water bottle to the right of the housing assembly and reposition the humidifier to its operating position.

3.The humidifier is now ready to be filled for operation.

End of Season Maintenance

1.Follow “Bi-Weekly Maintenance” instructions at end of humidification season.

2.Remove filter and dispose of properly.

3.Let humidifier dry completely before storing. Do not store with water inside base or bottle.

4.Store in cool, dry location.

5.Install a new filter in clean humidifier before next season begins.

Note: “Bi-Weekly Maintenance” is also recommended if you do not plan to run the humidifier for one week or more.

Position start and finish of coiled filter at center of base.

Align housing assembly bottom with top of base and reposition securely.
