Your Humidity Source humidifier
is
a precision-built
instrument that, given proper care, will provide years
of
dependable service. All that is required is periodic cleaning
during the humidifying season when your humidifier is most
used. Depending on local water conditions, mineral solids and
other matter may accumulate
in
various parts
of
the unit.
These accumulations must be removed so that water flows
freely for efficient operation
of
the humidifier. A reverse
osmosis water treatment system will remove minerals and
greatly reduce the need to clean the humidifier.

CLEAN YOUR HUMIDIFIER AT END OF THE HEATING
SEASON. LEAVE THE UNIT EMPTY AND DRY
DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS. REFILL AGAIN
IN
THE
FALL. INSPECT AND CLEAN (IF NEEDED) ONCE
OR
TWICE DURING THE HEATING SEASON.
IF

QUARTERLY
STEP 1.
DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL PLUG FROM HOUSE LINE.
TURN OFF WATER SUPPLY.
STEP 2.
REMOVE DOME FROM UNIT, AFTER FIRST REMOVING
DOME STRAP. The dome rests on the copper motor pan; it
lifts up and away from the duct and the unit. The vapor tube
and extension tube are connected by the rubber tube seal and
will come out together.
STEP
3.
LIFT OUT THE ATOMIZING UNIT. This rests freely
in
the
reservoir pan and lifts out easily.
STEP 4.
CLEAN THE ATOMIZING UNIT. Do not submerge unit
in
water
or
the atomizer motor will be damaged. First, remove
the cylindrical screen. Twist slightly out
of
lock position and
remove. Next, remove the impeller cap from the pump tube by
tapping lightly on edge
of
cap with a flat object (such as a file
or flat screwdriver). Do not tap
on
face
of
cap,
this can
damage its ability to pump water. Insert a pointed scraper or
pipe cleaner through the open end
of
the pump tube into the
three apertures located inside the pump tube (you may not
actually see the apertures but you can "feel" them). Gently
poke and free the three apertures
of
any solids that may have
accumulated. Scrape out waste materials along the inner
walls
of
the pump tube. Flush out pump tube with low
pressure water being very careful to not force water into the
atomizer motor. Replace impeller cap on pump tube by
tapping into place around edge
of
cap, again, do not tap face
of
cap.
Spin the pump tube by hand to insure it rotates freely.
Replace screen by twisting into lock position. Brush-clean the
vapor maker comb with a small wire brush or old tooth brush.
Rinse out motor pan being careful not to get water into the
motor.
STEP
5.
EMPTY AND CLEAN RESERVOIR
of
all liquids and waste
materials. Use white vinegar to dissolve minerals. Care should
be taken so as not to disturb floats
or
float valve.
STEP
6.
REASSEMBLE THE UNIT. Replace the atomizing unit
in
the
reservoir. Place the dome on the motor pan with the discharge
exhaust and extension tube positioned in line with the air
intake tube on the reservoir. Set entire unit back on mounting
plate positioning discharge tube and air intake tube through
the duct openings.
Be
sure the angled cut
of
the intake tube is
pointing toward the duct air flow.
TURN
ON
YOUR WATER SUPPLY, PLUG
IN
YOUR
ELECTRIC CORD AND YOUR HUMIDIFIER
IS
AGAIN
READY FOR THE NEXT HUMIDIFING SEASON.
