Slant/Fin GF-350 - Manual (Page 5)

10. After base is totally cleaned and dried, replace mineral absorption pad. Place
steam dome on base by aligning its slots with tabs in base. (You may have to
reposition steam dome to other set of tabs, because it will only fit one way.)
Rotate steam dome clockwise until it locks. Place steam diffuser on base so
that the slots in steam diffuser line up with tabs on the base. Rotate steam
diffuser clockwise until it locks in place.
11. Replace tanks. Plug in the unit and resume normal use.
CHANGING THE UV GERMICIDAL BULB
1. If the “REPLACE UV BULB” indicator illuminates during normal use, it is time
to change the UV germicidal bulb, which is a special 3.5W bulb.
2. Turn the POWER switch to the “OFF” position, unplug it and allow it to cool.
3. Remove the water tanks from the
base of the humidifier. Remove steam
diffuser and steam dome by rotating
them counterclockwise and lift up.
4. Place the base of the humidifier over
the sink and tilt the unit to remove any
remaining water.
5. Carefully turn the base of the humidi-
fier over and place it upside
down on a flat level surface. You will
see a door at front of unit that is
closed with two Phillips head screws.
6. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, carefully turn the screws counterclockwise
until the screws separate from the door.
7. Open the door, by pulling forward. The UV germicidal light bulb will be visible.
Pull the door out the minimum amount to have access to unscrew bulb from
socket.
8. Take a replacement 3.5W UV germicidal bulb that you purchased from
Slant/Fin Corporation or another supplier and change the bulb. To prolong
the life of the bulb, limit your direct contact with the glass of the bulb by using
a cloth or tissue to screw it into place.
9. When the new bulb is in place, close the door and replace the screws by
using your Phillips head screwdriver and rotating them clockwise until they
are just tight. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
10. DO NOT turn power on, while UV lamp door is open, and DO NOT view illu-
minated bulb directly because eye damage may occur.
11. Turn the unit upright, place the water tanks on top of the base of the humidifi-
er, plug the unit in, and turn the POWER switch to either the LO or HI posi-
tion. The “REPLACE UV BULB” indicator should no longer be lit.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Even though you will not receive maximum germicidal effects,
you can still use your GF-300 and GF-350 humidifier until the replacement bulb
arrives.
