Thank you for purchasing The Care Free® Humidifier Plus
Evaporative Humidifier by Hunter Fan Company. Please read
and save these instructions to receive the maximum benefit
and performance from your humidifier.

How tHE HumIdIfIEr works

The Care Free® Evaporative Humidifier has a unique patented
design with several innovative features:
• Low Maintenance - Other humidifiers have paper filters
that need to be replaced every few months. Our exclusive
PermaWick™ filter saves time and money. It's designed to
last season after season, saving up to $45 a year. No wet
paper odors either.
• Pump System - By dispersing water from the top of the
PermaWick™ filter, stagnant water around the PermaWick™
filter is eliminated, and the buildup of mineral residue that can
clog the filter and impede performance is eliminated.
NOTE: The filter has a coating on the wick which may make it
appear old or used, but is actually new.
• Built-in Antimicrobial Properties - The plastic parts and the
PermaWick™ filter have built-in antimicrobial properties to
inhibit the growth of bacteria, mold and fungi that may affect
these parts.
NOTE: This product contains antimicrobial properties which
are built-in to inhibit the growth of bacteria which may affect
the plastic and PermaWick™ filter in the humidifier. These
properties do not extend to the water, humidified air or users.
Conduct routine cleaning and maintenance based upon use
and individual conditions.
• No White Dust - The Care Free® Humidifier Plus Evaporative
Humidifier produces no white dust that can settle on furniture
or be inhaled.
NOTE: You may notice mineral deposits accumulating in the
tank base or on the PermaWick™ filter. This is normal and
does not affect performance. If you would like to clean these
deposits away, please see CLEANING THE HUMIDIFIERAND
WATER TANK.
