Care and Maintenance
To make cleaning easier, the tank should be completely dried out. Proceed as follows.
a. Loop switch actuato_ Fi_ngaround plastic hook located directly above the switch actuator.(Fig. 12)
b. Set humidity control to Constant On, air flow to High.
Run till tank is dry._
NOTE: With the switch actuator ring in place unit will con- tinue to run until the ring is released. Depending upon humidity levels, once the tank is empty the average dry out time is approximately 2 hours.
1.When unit is dry, release switch actuator ring and shut the unit off.
2.Unplug humidifier, and proceed to clean.
WARNING: If humidifier is not unplugged, fan could start after motor support is removed.
3.Raise lid to rest on hinges.
4.Lift out the motor support section and wipe off any mineral deposits with a clean cloth. (Fig. 13)
CAUTION: The switch actuator is a fragile part. Set
the motor support section down carefully to be sure the switch actuator does not become dam-
aged.
5.Before removing the filters, we recommend moving the humidifier to an area where floor coverings are not susceptible to water damage, i.e. kitchen or bath areas.
6.Slide up the filter holders and remove (either discard or store for further use) the filters located inside by gently pushing out from either side. Wash off mineral deposits on filter holder and wipe with a clean cloth.
7.Remove the floats from the bottom of the humidifier cabinet. The cabinet should be empty and the water
reservoir is ready for cleaning. (The water reservoir is the lower areas of the humidifier cabinet that the
floats and filter holders are located during the normal operation time.)
