MAINTAINING YOUR HUMIDIFIER

A regular maintenance program prolongs the life of your humidifier and makes your

home more comfortable. The frequency of cleaning depends on the condition of your

water.

You can use either hard or soft water in your humidifier, but hard water mineral

deposits are more difficult to clean than soft water deposits.

Use the following procedure to clean your Honeywell humidifier.

IMPORTANT

Never oil any part of the humidifier.

Once per year, depending on water quality

(either at the beginning or the end of the humidification season)

1. Disconnect the power by unplugging the transformer from the outlet and turn off

the humidifier’s water supply by turning the handle to the right (clockwise) until

the water stops flowing and/or there is resistance.

2. Remove the humidifier cover. See Fig. 18 on page 17.

3. Remove the humidifier pad assembly from the humidifier by grasping the top of

the tray and pulling it toward you.

4. Pull one side of the humidifier pad assembly frame toward you and remove the

tray from the frame.

5. Gently pinch the water nozzle prongs (a pair of prongs is located on each side of

the PerfectFLO

™

water distribution tray) inward until you can lift the water nozzle

off the tray.

6. Slide the humidifier pad out of the frame and discard the pad. Honeywell recom-

mends replacing the humidifier pad on an annual basis. However, if your home

has hard water, the pad may need to be replaced more frequently.

7. Carefully remove any mineral deposits from the tray and frame. Be sure the

frame drain hole has nothing blocking it.

8. Disconnect the drain hose from the drain fitting on the bottom of the humidifier

housing.
