Cleaning The Humidifier And The Water Tank
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 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. If the tank is properly
located on the base, you will see air
bubbles flowing up into the tank.
Many regions have hard water with high
concentrations of minerals. When water
evaporates from The Care Free
® Humidifier Plus
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
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™
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 electri-
cal shock may occur.
3. The PermaWick™ Filter should be cleaned
in a vinegar and water solution to remove
any mineral buildup. Place in a solution of
3.5 L of water and 219 mL of undiluted
white vinegar. Allow the filter to soak for
20 minutes.
4. After soaking, rinse it several times with
clean water. Place the PermaWick™ Filter
in a location where it can drip dry while
you clean the other parts of your humidifier.
5. Remove the water tank from the base and
empty any water that is left in the tank.
Soak the base in a mixture of 3.5 L of wa-
ter and 219 mL of vinegar for 20 minutes.
6. 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 humidi-
fier, be sure the base is completely dry.
7. Fill the water tank with 3.5 L of water and
219 mL 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.
8. 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.
9. 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
3.5 L of water and 219 mL 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.
