How the Care Free® Humidifi er
Evaporative Humidifi er Works
The Care Free® Humidifier Evaporative
Humidifi er has a unique patented design with
several innovative features:
• Exclusive Long Life Paper Wick – The
patented self-pumping paper wick has an
outer layer which disperses water to the
upper and outer areas of the wick to ensure consistent moisture distribution. This
helps to reduce buildup of mineral residue
on the lower part of the wick and retain
performance for signifi cantly longer than
traditional paper wicks.

• Built-in Antimicrobial Properties – The
plastic parts and the fi lter have built-in antimicrobial properties to inhibit the growth
of bacteria, mold and fungi that may affect
these parts.
NOTE: This product contains antimicrobial
properties which are built-in to inhibit the
growth of bacteria which may affect the
plastic and fi lter in the humidifi er. These
properties do not extend to the water,
humidifi ed air or users. Conduct routine
cleaning and maintenance based upon use
and individual conditions.
• No White Dust – The Care Free® Hu-
midifi er Evaporative Humidifi er produces
no white dust that can settle on furniture
or be inhaled.
NOTE: You may notice mineral deposits
accumulating in the tank base or on the
Humidifi er Parts
fi lter. This is normal and does not affect
performance. If you would like to clean
these deposits away, please see CLEANING
THE HUMIDIFIER AND WATER TANK.
