How The Care Free®Humidifier Plus

Evaporative Humidifier Works

The Care Free® Humidifier Plus 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 TMfil-

ter saves time and money. It's designed to

last season after season, saving up to $45 a

year. No wet paper odors either.

Regulated Release TM System - By dis-

persing water from the top of the

PermaWick TMfilter, stagnant water around

the PermaWick TM filter is eliminated, and

the buildup of mineral residue that can

clog the filter and impede performance

is eliminated. NOTE: The filter has a coat-

ing 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 TM filter

have built-in antimicrobial properties to in-

hibit 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 _M filter in the hu-

midifier. 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® Humidi-

fier 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 TM filter. This is normal and

does not affect performance. If you

would like to clean these deposits away,

please see CLEANING THE HUMIDIFIER

AND WATER TANK.

fier at least six (6) inches away from walls and

sources of heat.

HUNTERWILL NOTACCEPT RESPONSIBILITYFOR

DAMAGE TO PROPERTY CAUSED BY WATER

SPILLAGE.

6. Carry the tank back to the humidifier. Turn

the tank upright and place it on the humidi-

fier. Be sure that the tank is seated properly

in the base. If the tank is properly located on

the base, you will see air bubbles flowing up

into the tank.

7. With the power control knob in the 'OFF' po-

sition, plug the humidifier into the wall.

CAUTION: Never plug in the Humidifier

while your hands are wet as Electric Shock

could occur.

8. Use the power control knob to turn the

humidifier 'ON' by selecting a speed set-

ting.

Only for models with an Adjustable Humi-

distat

,You can choose the desired humidity out-

put by adjusting the Adjustable Humidis-

tat knob. In a very dry room, the "HI"

setting should be used to quickly achieve

a comfortable level of humidity. Once the

room is comfortable, you can turn the

Adjustable Humidistat down. Selection

of your desired humidity level is a per-

sonal choice and you may have to adjust

the dial to find the level where you feel

most comfortable. To begin with, we sug-

gest you try a middle location between

the lowest and the maximum setting.

Then, adjust the level to suit your needs.

10.When the humidity reaches the level you

have set, the "Desired Humidity" light will

be illuminated. The humidifier will not

output humidity while the humidity in the

room is at the selected humidity level. The

"Desired Humidity" light will stay on un-

til the humidity changes. When the hu-

midity in the room drops below the se-

lected level, the humidifier will cycle on

again and the "Desired Humidity" light

will go off.

Only for models with Automatic Shut-off

11. When the water tank is empty, the humidi-

fier will automatically shut itself off. The

red light will be illuminated, indicating that

the water tank needs to be refilled.

12. Follow REFILLING THE WATER TANK di-

rections. Once the water tank is refilled,

the Refill Light will not be illuminated.

Only for models with aNiteGIo TMNight Light

13. Use the control to turn the night light off

and on. The night light can be operated

even if the humidifier fan is turned 'OFF'.

Refilling The Water Tank

1. When the water tank level is low, turn the

humidifier 'OFF', and unplug.

2. Remove the tank and take it to the sink or

tub to refill.

3. Turn the tank upside down and unscrew the

tank cap by turning it counterclockwise.

Empty the tank, refill with fresh cool water

(never use hot water), and replace the tank

cap. Be sure not to overfill the tank as water

damage may occur to furniture or flooring

due to spillage.

HUNTER WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBIL-

ITY FOR DAMAGE TO PROPERTYCAUSED

BY WATER SPILLAGE.

Carry the tank back to the humidifier. Turn

the tank upright and place it on the hu-

midifier. Be sure that the tank is seated

properly in the base. If the tank is properly

located on the base, you will see air bubbles

flowing up into the tank.

Cleaning The Humidifier And The Water Tank

Many regions have hard water with high

concentrations of minerals. When water

evaporates from The Care Free® Humidifier Plus 5.

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 can vary

depending upon the quality of water you 6.

may have.

Refer to Figure 1 for part names.

1. Turn the humidifier 'OFF' and unplug the

unit.

2. Lift the main housing and remove the wa-

ter dispersion tray and the PermaWick TM

Filters. The motor is attached to the main

housing. Do not place the motor near

water. Do not use a wet towel on the

motor or motor housing as electrical

shock may occur.

3. The PermaWick TMFilter should be cleaned

in a vinegar and water solution to remove

any mineral buildup. Place in a solution of

one (1) gallon of water and eight (8) ounces

of undiluted white vinegar. Allow the filter

to soak for 20 minutes.

4. After soaking, rinse it several times with

clean waten Place the PermaWick TMFilter

in a location where it can drip dry while

you clean the other parts of your humidifier.

Remove the water tank from the base and

empty any water that is left in the tank.

Soak the base in a mixture of one (1) gal-

lon of water and eight (8) ounces of vin-

egar for 20 minutes.

After soaking, wipe the base with a soft

cloth or sponge to remove any mineral

build up. Rinse with clean water several

times. If you are planning on storing the

humidifier, be sure the base is com-

pletely dry.

Fill the water tank with one (1) gallon of

water and eight ounces of undiluted white

vinegar. Replace the tank cap and shake

the tank vigorously until all interior sur-

faces of the tank have been exposed to the

water/vinegar mixture.

Empty the tank of the water/vinegar mix-

ture. Rinse it several times with clean water

and then replace the tank cap. If you are

planning on storing the humidifier, dry it

inside and out, leaving the cap off to allow

the tank to completely dry. Continue to

clean the other parts of your humidifier.

Remove the water diffuser cap and sponge.

Rinse the sponge in clean water to remove

any debris. If the sponge contains hard

water residue, soak it in a mixture of

one (1) gallon of water and eight (8)

ounces of vinegar for 20 minutes. Rinse

well and reinstall sponge and diffuser cap

in unit. Do not expose motor or other

electrical components to water.

10. Wipe the surfaces of the main housing with

a soft cloth.

11.Once all the parts are clean, reas-

semble the humidifier, and follow the

USING YOUR HUMIDIFIER to con-
