Read and Save These Instructions

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

• Wickless Humidifier – 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 water 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

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

• No White Dust – The Care Free® Ultra Evaporative Humidi-

fier 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.

Cleaning the Humidifier and the

Water Tank

Many regions have hard water with high concentrations of minerals. When water evaporates from the Care Free® Ultra Evaporative Humidifier, 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 varies depending on the quality of water you have.

1. Turn the Power Knob to OFF and unplug the humidifier.

2. Remove the Water Tank and carry it to a sink or a tub. Unscrew the Tank Cap by twisting it counterclockwise and empty any water in the Water Tank.

3. Lift the Power Pack and locate the three tabs on the top of the Funnel Pump Assembly. Press the three tabs in and remove the Funnel Pump by pulling away from the underside

of the fan blade.

6. Soak the Upper Reservoir, Funnel Pump, Pump Cap, and

Atomizer in a solution of one (1) gallon of water and eight (8) ounces of vinegar for 30 minutes.

NOTE: If the Atomizer is covered with hard white scale, you may want to run this component through the dishwasher to loosen the scale before soaking.

The Atomizer is the only dishwasher-safe component and may be placed in the top rack only.

7. To clean the Water Tank, fill the tank with one (1) gallon of water and eight (8) ounces of vinegar. Replace the Tank Cap tightly and shake the Water Tank vigorously until all interior surfaces have been exposed to the solution.

8. Rinse the Water Tank several times with cool, clean water.

9. After soaking, rinse the components with clean water several times. Use a soft cloth or sponge to remove any build-up. Allow the components to dry completely if you plan to store the humidifier.

10. To clean the surfaces of the Power Pack, wipe with a dry,

soft cloth.
