SERVICING YOUR HUMIDIFIER
CLEANING THE GEAR
DO NOT submerge the gear in water. To clean any buildup of calcium or lime from
the gear “teeth,” brush with a soft-bristled brush. The gear teeth should be pointed
toward the floor while brushing, otherwise deposits will fall into the gear and cause it
to malfunction.
REMOVAL OF THE GEAR AND COUPLING
1. Switch the unit off.
2. Unplug the power cord from the
outlet.
3. Remove the motor from the upper
housing.
4. Remove the coupling from the gear
by pushing the coupling down to-
ward the fan and away from the
gear
5. Pivot turn the gear 90 degrees so that
it is laying on its side.
6. Gently pull one of the two motor as-
sembly arms approximately 1/8 of an
inch away from the gear and remove
the gear from the motor assembly.
7. Remove the locking ring from the
center shaft of the fan by prying it up
using a small screwdriver.
