away from walls and heat sources such
as stoves, radiators or heaters.
2. ALWAYS place the humidifier in an
area that is out of the reach of children.
3. Before using the humidifier, extend the cord and inspect for any sign
of damage. DO NOT use the product if
the cord has been damaged.
4. This product has a polarized plug
as a safety feature (one blade is wider
than the other). This plug will fi t into a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fully fi t into the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fi t, contact a
qualifi ed electrician. DO NOT attempt
®
to defeat or override this feature.
5. ALWAYS unplug and empty the
humidifi er when it is not in operation
or while it is being cleaned.
6. DO NOT tilt or move the humidifier
while it is in operation. Never move the
humidifi er while there is water in the
tank. Empty the water tank, turn the unit
off, and unplug the unit before moving.
7. In addition to routine maintenance
which may be required, this humidifi er
requires seasonal cleaning. Refer to and
follow the instructions for CLEANING
THE HUMIDIFIER AND THE WATER
TANK.
8. This unit was designed to be used
with distilled and/or tap water. DO NOT
add scented oils, perfumes or fragrance
additives to the water.
How the Care Free® Ultra
Evaporative Humidifi er Works
The Care Free® Ultra Evaporative Humidifi er has a
unique, patented design with several innovative
features:
• Wickless Humidifi er – Hunter’s exclusive
system does not require a wick to create
humidity. Water is transported up the tube
and is dispersed by centrifugal force against
the Atomizer. The tiny water particles created from this impact are then evaporated by
the oncoming air stream and the moist air is
released through the exhaust vents beneath
the Water Tank.

• Simple Pump System – By dispersing wa-
ter via centrifugal force through openings
in the funnel pump, stagnant water in the
reservoir is eliminated and the buildup of
mineral residue that can clog conventional
pump systems and impede performance is
eliminated.
• Built-In Antimicrobial Properties – The
plastic parts in this humidifi er and the fi lter
have built-in antimicrobial properties to inhibit the growth of bacteria, mold and fungi
that may affect these parts.
NOTE: The antimicrobial properties built-
into this humidifi er 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
®
Ultra
Evaporative Humidifi er produces no white
dust that can settle on furniture or be
inhaled.
NOTE: Yo u may notice mineral deposits
accumulating in the tank base or on other
components. This is normal and comes
with regular usage conditions. If you
would like to remove these deposits and
maintain humidifi er performance, please
see the section CLEANING THE HUMIDI-
FIER AND THE WATER TANK.
Assembly of Humidifi er Parts
ATTENTION: Before operating the unit,
remove the tape strips located on the bottom
of the power pack. These tape strips are
used to secure the pump components during
shipment and should be removed prior to
operation. See Figure 1.
