Step 3
Bi-Weekly Maintenance
Removing Scale
1. Fill the humidifier base with water and add one 8-ounce cup of white
vinegar. Let solution stay 20 minutes.
2. Clean all interior surfaces with a soft brush. Dampen a soft cloth with
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 1/2 gallon of water and 1/2 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.
End of Season Maintenance
1. Follow “Bi-Weekly Maintenance” instructions at end of humidification
season.
2. Remove
filter.
3. Let humidifier dry completely
before storing.
4. Store in cool, dry location.
5. Install a new filter in clean
humidifier before next season begins.
NOTE:

is also recommended if you do not plan to
run the humidifier for one week or more.

Positioning the Unit
The humidifier should be positioned with
the back (cord exit side) and sides, at
least 2 inches away from the wall. Air
needs to enter through all of the louvers
in the housing assembly in order for the
humidifier to operate at peak efficiency.
NOTE:
Be sure humidistat (located
approximately 4 inches outside humidifier
body on power cord) is free from
obstruction and away from any hot air
register.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire or shock hazard, only plug humidifier
into a 120V A.C. outlet. Do not use extension cords.
NOTE:
Due to release of cool, moist air from humidifier, it is best to direct air
away from thermostat and hot air registers and to position humidifiers next to an
inside wall. Unit should not be placed where cold air from outside walls or warm
air from a hot air register blows directly on it.
Step 2. Electrical Hook-Up
Locate nearest 120V A.C. wall socket in the location desired, preferably on
inside wall. With the humidifier in the desired location, route the electrical cord
safely so no one will trip or knock over the humidifier.
Plug in the electrical cord.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this
humidifier has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). This plug will fit in
a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse plug. If it still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician to install the proper
outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
