Assembly Of Humidiﬁer Parts

The Care Free® Warm Mist Humidiﬁer has a unique, patented design with several innovative features:

• Removable Boiling Chamber

–

The detachable heater can be easily

removed for cleaning and maintenance.

• Humidiﬁcation System

– Water is passed through a heating element which creates warm mist to humidify the air. Stagnant water in the reservoir is eliminated due to minimal water quantity in the boiler reservoir.

• Built-In Antimicrobial Properties

–

The plastic parts in this humidiﬁer 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 humidiﬁer do not extend to the

How The Care Free® Warm Mist Humidiﬁer Works

water, humidiﬁed air or users. Conduct routine cleaning and maintenance based upon use and individual conditions.

• No White Dust

– The Care Free® Warm Mist Humidiﬁer 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 other components. This is normal and comes with regular usage conditions. If you would like to remove these deposits and maintain humidiﬁer performance, please see the section CLEANING THE HUMIDIFIER AND THE WATER TANK.

• Dishwasher Safe

– All components of The Care Free® Warm Mist Humidiﬁer are top-rack dishwasher safe, except for the powered base.

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 varies depending on the quality of water you have. Failure to perform the necessary cleaning steps can damage the unit and affect performance.

NOTE:

The Water Tank, Tank Cap, Medicine Cup, Boiler Cover, Boiling Chamber, and Exhaust Grille are dishwasher safe in the top rack only.
