READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
The Care Free®Ultra Evaporative Humidifier has
a unique, patented design with several innova-
tive features:
• Wickless Humidifier – Hunter’s exclusive
system does not require a wick to create
humidity. Water is transported up the tube
and is dispersed by centrifugal force against
the Atomizer. The tiny water particles cre-
ated from this impact are then evaporated by
the oncoming air stream and the moist air is
released through the exhaust vents beneath
the Water Tank.
• Simple Pump System – By dispersing wa-
ter via centrifugal force through openings
in the funnel pump, stagnant water in the
reservoir is eliminated and the buildup of
mineral residue that can clog conventional
pump systems and impede performance is
eliminated.
• Built-In Antimicrobial Properties – The
plastic parts in this humidifier and the filter
have built-in antimicrobial properties to in-
hibit the growth of bacteria, mold and fungi
that may affect these parts.
How the Care Free®Ultra
Evaporative Humidifier Works
Important Safety Instructions:
Read all instructions before
using this humidifier.
Thank you for purchasing the Care Free®
Ultra Evaporative Humidifier by Hunter
Fan Company. Please read and save these
instructions to receive maximum benefit
and performance from your humidifier.
1. This humidifier may not work prop-
erly on an uneven surface. ALWAYS
place this humidifier on a firm, level
and water resistant surface. ALWAYS
place the humidifier at least six (6) inches
away from walls and heat sources such
as stoves, radiators or heaters.
2. ALWAYS place the humidifier in an
area that is out of the reach of children.
3. Before using the humidifier, ex-
tend the cord and inspect for any sign
of damage. DO NOT use the product if
the cord has been damaged.
4. This product has a polarized plug
as a safety feature (one blade is wider
than the other). This plug will fit into a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fully fit into the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt
to defeat or override this feature.
5. ALWAYS unplug and empty the
humidifier when it is not in operation
or while it is being cleaned.
6. DO NOT tilt or move the humidifier
while it is in operation. Never move the
humidifier while there is water in the
tank. Empty the water tank, turn the unit
off, and unplug the unit before moving.
7. In addition to routine maintenance
which may be required, this humidifier
requires seasonal cleaning. Refer to and
follow the instructions for CLEANING
THE HUMIDIFIER AND THE WATER
TANK.
8. This unit was designed to be used
with distilled and/or tap water. DO NOT
add scented oils, perfumes or fragrance
additives to the water.

Assembly of Humidifier Parts
NOTE: The antimicrobial properties built-
into this humidifier 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®Ultra
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 other
components. This is normal and comes
with regular usage conditions. If you
would like to remove these deposits and
maintain humidifier performance, please
see the section CLEANING THE HUMIDI-
FIER AND THE WATER TANK.
ATTENTION: Before operating the unit, re-
move the tape strips located on the bottom
of the power pack. These tape strips are used
to secure the pump components during ship-
ment and should be removed prior to opera-
tion. See Figure 1.
1. Remove the Care Free®Ultra Evapora-
tive Humidifier from its packaging.
2. Select a location for your humidifier.
The location should be flat, hard, water-
resistant and at least six (6) inches away
from walls and sources of heat.
HUNTER WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSI-
BILITY FOR DAMAGE DUE TO WATER
SPILLAGE.
3. Remove the Lower Reservoir (marked
with the number 2) from the Water Tank
and Upper Reservoir (marked with the
number 1). See Figure 3.
4. Set the Lower Reservoir on the flat,
hard surface you have chosen.
NOTE: Once the unit has been filled with
water and is operating, you should not
use the Upper Reservoir handles or Water
Tank handles to pick up and relocate the
humidifier without emptying all water from
the humidifier. Prior to moving the humidi-
fier, check the water window in the Lower
Reservoir for water. If there is water in the
Lower reservoir, remove the Water Tank
and Upper Reservoir and drain all water.

Many regions have hard water with high con-
centrations of minerals. When water evaporates
from the Care Free®Ultra 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 varies depend-
ing on the quality of water you have.
1. Turn the Power Knob to OFF and un-
plug the humidifier.
2. Remove the Water Tank and carry it
to a sink or a tub. Unscrew the Tank Cap by
twisting it counterclockwise and empty any
water in the Water Tank.
3. Lift the Power Pack and locate the
three tabs on the top of the Funnel Pump
Assembly. Press the three tabs in and remove
the Funnel Pump by pulling away from the
underside of the fan blade.
4. Remove the Pump Cap from the Funnel
Pump by holding the Pump Cap securely in
one hand while twisting the Funnel Pump in
a clockwise direction. This will unlock the two
components. See Figures 14a and 14b.
Figure 14a
Figure 14b
5. Remove the Atomizer and the Upper
Reservoir. See Figure 15.
Figure 15
6. Soak the Upper Reservoir, Funnel
Pump, Pump Cap, and Atomizer in a solu-
tion of one (1) gallon of water and eight (8)
ounces of vinegar for 30 minutes.
NOTE: If the Atomizer is covered with hard
white scale, you may want to run this com-
ponent through the dishwasher to loosen
the scale before soaking.
The Atomizer is the only dishwasher-
safe component and may be placed in
the top rack only.
7. To clean the Water Tank, fill the tank
with one (1) gallon of water and eight (8)
ounces of vinegar. Replace the Tank Cap
tightly and shake the Water Tank vigorously
until all interior surfaces have been exposed
to the solution.
8. Rinse the Water Tank several times with
cool, clean water.
9. After soaking, rinse the components
with clean water several times. Use a soft
cloth or sponge to remove any build-up.
Allow the components to dry completely if
you plan to store the humidifier.
10. To clean the surfaces of the Power Pack, wipe
with a dry, soft cloth.

with three short posts should be facing
upward. See Figure 17.
Figure 17
4. Assemble the Pump Cap and the
Funnel Pump by aligning the arrows on
both components and inserting the Funnel
Pump into the Pump Cap. Twist the Fun-
nel Pump counter-clockwise until the two
