Maintenance
BEFORE PERFORMING MAINTENANCE ON THE UNIT, READ AND UNDERSTAND THE SAFETY
INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS GUIDE.
The Wine Guardian Humidifier is designed for minimal maintenance. Never oil any part of the
humidifier. Always disconnect the electrical power to the humidifier and the cooling unit prior to
servicing.
A regular maintenance program prolongs the life of the humidifier and maintains the humidity in
the cellar. Frequency of cleaning and replacement of the drip pad depends on the inlet
water conditions and the cleanliness of the cellar air. The drain system may also trap dust and
dirt. When water no longer stays on the pad or mineral build-up has started to reduce airflow, the
pad needs to be replaced.
Suggested Maintenance Schedule
Monthly
(may change to quarterly depending on experience with individual cellar)
√ Check drain – clean as needed – confirm steady flow of water while in operation
√ Check for noise or vibration
Yearly
(in addition to above)
√ Clean the humidifier and replace humidifier pad if needed (see procedures below)
√ Check for any loose fasteners, gaskets or connections
√ Check wiring connections and integrity of cords
√ Check operation of humidifier fan and water solenoid
√ Check to be sure the water supply tube is aimed at the center of the distribution
tray between the two center holes.
