How The Care Free® Humidifier Evaporative Humidifier Works

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

• Regulated Release™ System – By dis­persing water from the top of the filter, stagnant water around the filter is elimi­nated, and the buildup of mineral residue that can clog the filter and impede per­formance is eliminated.
• Built-in Antimicrobial Properties – The plastic parts and the filter 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 filter in the humidifier. These properties 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® Humidi­fier Evaporative 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 the filter. 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.

Cleaning The Humidifier And The Water Tank

Many regions have hard water with high concentrations of minerals. When water evaporates from The Care Free® Humidifier 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 can vary depending upon the quality of water you may have.

Refer to Figure 1 for part names.

1. Turn the humidifier ‘OFF’ and unplug the unit.
2. Lift the main housing and remove the wa­ter dispersion tray and the filters. The mo­tor is attached to the main housing. Do not place the motor near the water. Do not use a wet towel on the motor or motor housing as electrical shock may occur.
3. The filter should be cleaned in a vinegar and water solution to remove any mineral buildup. Place in a solution of one (1) gal­lon of water and eight (8) ounces of undi­luted white vinegar. Allow the filter to soak for 20 minutes.
4. After soaking, rinse it several times with clean water. Place the filter in a location where it can drip dry while you clean the other parts of your humidifier.
5. 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.

If you are planning on storing the humidifier, dry it inside and out, leaving the cap off to allow the tank to completely dry. Continue to clean the other parts of your humidifier.
9. Remove the water diffuser cap and sponge. Rinse the sponge in clean water to remove any debris.
