2. Always provide a vent on the chamber being humidified.
3. Never place the humidifier inside the chamber.
The wet air inside the chamber may damage the air pump and the
humidifier electronics. Always operate the humidifier outside the chamber
using the supplied 1” tubing.
4. Never immerse the humidifier for filling or cleaning.
5. Clean the ultrasonic transducer frequently and thoroughly.
Any dirt or particle build-up on the transducer will cause stress to the
electronics. Once the electronics overheat and stop working, the
humidifier must be replaced. With frequent cleaning, the electronics
should operate reliably for many years.
6. Use distilled or deionized water only.
6.0 MAINTENANCE & CLEANING (Model 5462 & 5472)
1. Always unplug the unit before cleaning.
2. Empty the unit of all water.
Disconnect (or remove) water tank or tap water source.
3.
Clean the surface of the transducer using distilled vinegar
and a soft,
clean cloth.
This is very important. If the transducer is not kept clean, it will fail. Using
distilled or deionized water keeps the build-up to a minimum, but cleaning
cannot be ignored.
NOTE
Do not use any tools with metal parts or sharp edges to clean the
transducer. Scratching the transducer may cause fatal damage to
the unit.
To clean thick or heavy deposits, pour a small amount of vinegar into the
humidifier until the transducer surface is completely covered. Let stand for
30-60 minutes. Wipe clean with a soft cloth. If further cleaning is needed,
a soft, plastic bristle brush may be used to gently clean the transducer
surface.
