The Hunter® evaporative Humidifier has a unique, patented design with several innovative features:  
• 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 6.

Cleaning and Storage  
Many regions have hard water with high concentrations of minerals. When water  
evaporates from the Hunter® 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 “Know Your

Replacing the Wick  
NOTe: The humidifiers wick is made of paper and is NOT washable.  
Over time, minerals in your water will build up in the humidifiers wick, degrading  
its ability to absorb water and reducing the humidifiers output. Therefore, you  
should replace the humidifiers wick every season, depending on the hardness of  
your water.  
1. Turn the humidifier off and unplug the unit.  
3. Grasp the humidifier wick, hold it over the base, and squeeze the water from  
it. Figure 8. This will keep water from dripping onto your floor. You may also  
want to wrap the wick in a towel to keep it from dripping while you transport  
it to disposal.  
Figure 7.

5. Ensure the wick is properly seated, resting on the bottom of the base and not

housing is properly seated on the base.  
7. Plug the humidifiers power cord into a standard household power outlet and  
turn the power/speed control to your desired setting.
