How The Hunter®

Evaporative Humidier Works

The Hunter® Evaporative Humidier has a unique patented design with several innovative features:

• Built-in Antimicrobial Properties – The plastic parts and the lter have built-in antimicrobial properties to inhibit the growth of bacteria, mold and fungi that may aect these parts.

• No White Dust – The Hunter® Evaporative Humidier produces no white dust that can settle on furniture or be inhaled.

NOTE: This product contains antimicrobial properties which are built-in to inhibit the growth of

bacteria which may aect the plastic and lter in the humidier. These properties do not extend to the water, humidied air or users. Conduct routine cleaning and maintenance based upon use and individual conditions.

NOTE: You may notice mineral deposits accumulating in the tank base. This is normal and does

not aect performance. If you would like to clean these deposits away, please see CLEANING THE HUMIDIFIER AND WATER TANK.

Relling The Water Tank

1. When the water tank level is low, turn the humidier ‘OFF’, and unplug.

2. Remove the tank and take it to the sink or tub to rell.

3. Turn the tank upside down and unscrew the tank cap by turning it counterclockwise. Empty the tank, rell with fresh cool water (never use hot water), and replace the tank cap. Be sure not to overll the tank as water damage may occur to furniture or ooring due to spillage. HUNTER WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY CAUSED BY WATER SPILLAGE.

4. Carry the tank back to the humidier. Turn the tank upright and place it on the humidier. 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 owing up into the tank.

Cleaning The Humidier And The Water Tank

Many regions have hard water with high concentrations of minerals. When water evaporates from The Hunter® Evaporative Humidier, 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 humidier ‘OFF’ and unplug the unit.

2. Lift the main housing and remove the water dispersion tray and the wick. 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 electrical shock may occur.

3. Replace the humidier’s wick every 4 - 8 weeks or when it has turned brown.

4. Remove the water tank from the base and empty any water that is left in the tank. Soak the base in a mixture of one (1) gallon of water and eight (8) ounces of vinegar for 20 minutes. The base is dishwasher safe.

5. 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er, be sure the base is completely dry.

6. 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.

7. Empty the tank of the water/vinegar mixture. Rinse it several times with clean water and then replace the tank cap. If you are planning on storing the humidier, dry it inside and out, leaving the cap o to allow the tank to completely dry. Continue to clean the other parts of your humidier.

8. Wipe the surfaces of the main housing with a soft cloth.

9. Once all the parts are clean, reassemble the humidier, and follow the USING YOUR HUMIDIFIER to continue use. If you are storing the humidier, make sure the parts are completely dry, reassemble, and store in a dry location.

Replacing the Humidier Wick

NOTE: The humidier’s Wick is made of paper and is NOT washable. Over time, minerals in your water will build up in the humidier’s Wick, degrading its ability to absorb

water and reducing the humidier’s output. Therefore, you should replace the humidier’s Wick every 4 - 8 weeks, depending on the hardness of your water.

1. Turn the humidier ‘OFF’ and unplug the unit.

2. Lift the Main Housing, remove it from the Base, and set it aside.

3. Grasp the humidier Wick, hold it over the base, and squeeze the water from it. This will keep water from dripping onto your oor. You may also want to wrap the Wick in a towel to keep it from dripping while you transport it to disposal.

4. Replace the old Wick with a new Hunter humidier Wick, number 31911. New Wicks are available at your local Hunter retailer or at www.hunterfan.com.

5. Ensure the Wick is properly seated, resting on the bottom of the base and not tilted or otherwise out of position.

6. Return the Main Housing to its position on the Base. Make certain the Main Housing is properly seated on the Base.

7. Plug the humidier’s Power Cord into a standard household power outlet and turn the Power/Speed Control to your desired setting.
