ig. 20. Cleaning your humidifier.
End of Humidification Season
• Clean the humidifier and shut it off at the end of the heating season.
• Turn the water off at the shut off valve.
• Turn the H6062 to off.
• Turn the damper blade to the "summer" position.
IMPORTANT
Be sure the humidifier power is off.
Replacement Humidifier Pads
It is recommended to replace the humidifier pad on an annual basis. However, if your home has hard water, the
pad may need to be replaced more frequently because of the buildup of minerals diminishing its ability to
operate normally. If there is access to a water softener, it is recommended to use softened water.
Vacation
• When leaving on vacation, turn off the humidifier water supply and your humidistat.
• When you return, turn on the humidifier water supply and reset your humidistat.
