Cleaning the Humidifi er and the Water Tank
Many regions have hard water with high
concentrations of minerals. When water
evaporates from The Care Free
Evaporative Humidifi er, 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 fi lters. 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. At the end of the season, discard the
paper wick and order Hunter replacement
wicks. Call customer service at 1-800-

4. Carry the tank back to the humidifier.
Turn the tank upright and place it on the
humidifi er. Be sure that the tank is seated
properly in the base. If the tank is properly
located on the base, you will see air bubbles
fl owing up into the tank.
5. Place the full tank on the unit and allow
the water to fi ll the bottom tray. The water is
at the proper level in the bottom tray when
the tank stops bubbling. Set the unit to the
desired speed.
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.
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 humidifi er,
be sure the base is completely dry.
6. Fill the water tank with one (1) gal-
lon 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 humidifi er, dry it
inside and out, leaving the cap off to allow
the tank to completely dry. Continue to clean
the other parts of your humidifi er.
