and pull out on white plastic frame (Scale Control Insert) (3). To clean the “V”
openings of the tray, it will be necessary to gently pry the distribution tray cover (4)
from the tray. Follow instructions below depending upon the type of distribution tray
in your humidifier.
For trays with a synthetic fabric liner: Lightly scrape out or brush off any mineral
deposits, being careful not to stretch or loosen the synthetic fabric liner. Soaking the
tray in vinegar or a lime-removing agent is helpful when trying to remove stubborn
mineral deposits.
For trays with granular coating:
Do not scrape off the granular coating,
but lightly
scrape out any mineral deposits and clean the “V” notches
.
This textured surface
helps ensure even water flow for maximum performance. See page 3 if removed.

Insert with a putty knife or similar tool and flush clean with water. Install new Water
Panel evaporator (Stock No. 35). Snap plastic cover into tray and tray into Scale

wear. Replace tube if it is cracked, brittle or has been damaged.

calcium deposits. Then flush it with water under pressure and slip it back onto the
black drain fitting (6). Make sure the drain hose has a constant downward slope and
is not flattened or blocked.
