NOTE: The humidifier’s Wick is made of
paper and is NOT washable.
Over time, minerals in your water
will build up in the humidifier’s Wick,
degrading its ability to absorb water
and reducing the humidifier’s output.
Therefore, you should replace the
humidifier’s Wick every 4 - 8 weeks,
depending on the hardness of your
water.
1. Turn the humidifier ‘off’ and unplug the
unit.
2. Lift the Main Housing, remove it from
the Base, and set it aside.
ClEaning thE humidifiEr and
WatEr tank
Many regions have hard water with
high concentrations of minerals. When
water evaporates from The Hunter®
Evaporative Humidifier, minerals may be
left behind. These minerals can form a
hard white scale which can be removed
by following the cleaning instructions.
The frequency of cleaning due to mineral
build up can vary depending upon the
quality of water you may have. Refer to
Figure 1 for part names.
1. Turn the humidifier ‘off’ and unplug the
unit.
2. Lift the main housing and remove the
water dispersion tray and the wick. The
motor is attached to the main housing.
Do not place the motor near water. Do
not use a wet towel on the motor or
motor housing as electrical shock may
occur.
3. Replace the humidifier’s wick every 4 -
8 weeks or when it has turned brown.
4. Remove the water tank from the base
and empty any water that is left in the
tank. Soak the base in a mixture of one
(1) gallon of water and eight (8) ounces
of vinegar for 20 minutes. The base is
dishwasher safe.
5. After soaking, wipe the base with a
soft cloth or sponge to remove any
mineral build up. Rinse with clean
water several times. If you are planning
on storing the humidifier, be sure the
base is completely dry.
6. Fill the water tank with one (1) gallon
of water and eight ounces of undiluted
white vinegar. Replace the tank cap
and shake the tank vigorously until all
interior surfaces of the tank have been
exposed to the water/vinegar mixture.
7. Empty the tank of the water/vinegar
mixture. Rinse it several times with
clean water and then replace the tank
cap. If you are planning on storing
the humidifier, dry it inside and out,
leaving the cap off to allow the tank to
completely dry. Continue to clean the
other parts of your humidifier.
8. Wipe the surfaces of the main housing
with a soft cloth.
9. Once all the parts are clean,
reassemble the humidifier, and follow
the USING YOUR HUMIDIFIER to
continue use. If you are storing the
humidifier, make sure the parts are
completely dry, reassemble, and store
in a dry location.
