Please read and save these instructions to receive the maximum benefit and performance from your humidifier. • Never fill the humidifier tank with hot water. Always use clean, cool tap water. The Hunter® Evaporative Humidifier has a unique patented design with several innovative features: • Low Maintenance - Our paper wicks are designed to last one full humidifer season. • Regulated Release™ System - By dispersing water from the top of the wick, stagnant water around the wick is elimnated, and the buildup of mineral residue that can clog the wick and impede performance is eliminated. • Built-in Antimicrobial Properties - We use Microban® on many of the plastic parts and wick. This helps 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 wick 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 Hunter® Evaporative Humidifier produces no white dust that can settle on furniture or be inhaled. NOTE: You may notice mineral deposits accumulating in the tank Tray. This is normal and does not affect performance. If you would like to clean these deposits away, please see "Cleaning and Storage" on page 7. ©2011 Hunter Fan Company 3
