Service

WARNING: Danger of hot water. Drain water before servicing.
The humidifier requires regular periodic service to ensure efficient and trouble-free running. Regular
service involves cleaning the evaporation chamber and its components manually. Generally,
frequency of cleaning can range from 2 months to once a year, depending on the following factors:

Quality of water

Frequency of automatic drain cycles

Demand placed on the humidifier
All SKE4 humidifiers are programmed for 1000 hours of operation. This is a default factory setting.
To view the number of hours the humidifier has run and the number of service hours, use the control
panel to access the Service Menu (see page 44 for more details).
After 1000 hours of operation have passed, the Status Display LED on the control panel will turn red,
indicating that the humidifier is due for servicing. Although the humidifier will continue to operate, it is
imperative that service is performed as soon as possible, in order to ensure proper functionality.
