Humidifier Water Line Maintenance
(See Figure 8.0)
1) Start by disconnecting the electrical power and shutting off the water supply.
2) Remove front cover of humidifier or remove humidifier from ducted Wine Guardian unit
(depending on your set-up).
3) Disconnect the water line at the inlet to the solenoid valve.
4) Remove the in-line strainer from inside the inlet fitting by using a small flat-bladed
screwdriver. Do not insert anything into the strainer that has a sharp end on it as it might
penetrate the strainer and render it useless.
5) Clean the strainer by flushing under hot water or immersing in a demineralizing solution to
break down the mineral deposits. Inspect and replace the strainer if it cannot be cleaned or if
the screen is damaged.
6) Reinstall the strainer in the valve inlet and replace the tubing and tighten the compression
nut. Double wrench to prevent damage and leaks.
7) Disconnect the water line on the outlet of the solenoid valve.
8) Remove the orifice from the copper tube and make sure this small opening is unplugged.
9) Replace the orifice and reconnect the outlet water line. Double wrench to prevent leaking.
10) Reinstall the in-line strainer and reconnect the inlet water line. Double wrench to prevent
leaking.
11) Turn on water supply and reconnect electrical power to the humidifier.
12) Check to be sure the water supply tube is aimed at the center of the distribution tray between
the two center holes. This will ensure even distribution off water across the entire tray and
equally into each of the six holes, thereby evenly wetting the entire surface of the drip pad.
