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 counter-clock-
wise. Empty the tank, refill with cool, fresh water, and replace the tank cap (never
use hot water). Be sure not to overfill the tank as water damage may occur to furni-
ture or flooring due to spillage. HUNTER WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY
FOR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY CAUSED BY WATER SPILLAGE.
4. 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.
Cleaning The Humidifier And The Water Tank
Many regions have hard water with high concentrations of minerals. When water evapo-
rates from The Care-Free Humidifier™ Evaporative Humidifier, some minerals may be
left behind. These minerals can form a hard white scale which can be removed by fol-
lowing the cleaning instructions. The frequency of cleaning due to mineral build up can
vary depending upon the quality of water you 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 filter. The motor is attached to the main hous-
ing. 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. Remove the filter and replace at the end of every season. The filter is enclosed in the
filter frame which should not be discarded. To open the filter frame, you must release a
plastic hook at each of the four corners of the frame. Remove the old filter from the filter
frame and replace with a new filter. (To locate replacement filters, call 1-800-4-HUNTER
or visit our Web site at www.hunterfan.com.)
4. Remove the water tank from the base and empty any water that is left in the tank. 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 surfaces of the tank
have been exposed to the water/vinegar mixture.
5. Empty the water in the base and soak the base in a mixture of one (1) gallon of water and
eight (8) ounces of vinegar for 20 minutes.
