Caring for Your Humidifier

Please take a few minutes to read this booklet. It will familiarize you with the
many features and benefits of your new humidifier, and aid you in understanding
the routine maintenance that will ensure many years of efficient operation.

If, at some point, you need parts or service to maintain the superior performance of
your humidifier, follow these simple procedures:

• Contact the heating and air conditioning contractor who installed your unit.

Often, this information can be found on a label attached to your humidifier or

heating system.

• If no label is found, look in the yellow pages of your phone book under Heating

& Air Conditioning Contractors.

• Finally, if these attempts for parts or service fail, write or call White-Rodgers at

the address or phone number printed on the front inside cover or page 5 of this
booklet.

Water Hardness
and Maintenance Schedule

Your humidifier will accumulate minerals such as calcium and lime after operating
for a short period (accumulation of minerals is a sure sign the humidifier is producing
humidity). The amount of accumulation is dependent on the hardness of the water
supply in your area. Therefore the time between cleaning is unpredictable.

NOTE: Excessive buildup of these minerals is detrimental to internal parts as well as
evaporative efficiency. Refer to the maintenance instructions above to achieve years of
satisfactory performance from your White-Rodgers Humidifier.

Maintenance Instructions for HFT2100,
HFT2700 & HFT2900FP

Danger - To Avoid Hazard of Electrical Shock or Burn Turn Off
Power Supplying This Equipment Before Servicing.

1. Shut off water supply.

2. Remove the humidifier cover by turning the screw located at the bottom of the
cover and pulling the cover out toward you.

3. Tilt out the distribution tray and evaporator pad assembly.

4. All plastic and metal parts (except electrical parts and components) can be
washed in humidifier cleaner or a 50% solution of vinegar and water.

5. Replace evaporator media, if cleaning is not satisfactory. This unit also
contains a one piece wick. This wick must be changed along with the evaporator
pad. The wick can be changed very easily by simply lifting out the old one and
replacing it with the new one provided with the evaporator pad.

6. Evaporative media should be replaced at least once a year (once each heating
season).

7. Wipe any loose sediment from the water tray (make certain no particles are
allowed to plug the drain hole).
