Servicing your Venta-Airwasher
Cleaning the gear
Do not submerse the gear in water. To clean any buildup of calcium or lime from the gear “teeth”, brush with a soft bristled brush. The gear teeth should be pointed toward the floor while brushing, otherwise deposits will fall into the gear and cause it to malfunction.
Removal of gear and coupling
1Switch the unit off (to ZERO position).
2Unplug the power cord from the A/C outlet.
3Remove the motor housing from the upper housing.
4Remove the coupling from the gear by pushing the coupling down toward the fan and away from the gear.
5Pivot (turn) the gear 90 degrees so it is laying on its side.
6Gently pull one of the two motor housing arms approximately 1/8 of an inch away from the gear and remove the gear from the motor housing.
7Remove the locking ring from the center shaft of the fan by prying it up using a small screwdriver.
