They include both personal comfort as well as the preservation of furniture, draperies, carpets, wooden floors and cabinets, paintings, pianos, etc. . Your home will be more comfortable at a lower temperature (i. e. : 68° F) at 30-40% Relative Humidity (RH) than at 71° to 72° F without controlled humidity. [. . . ] Bacteria or fungi may appear on the water surface, the sides, or bottom of your humidifier. A crusty deposit or scale may also appear and is composed of minerals that have settled out of the water. Annual cleaning is required for the efficient and safe operation of this humidifier. However, more frequent maintenance and cleaning may be required in areas of poor water quality. During the first heating season, check for scale buildup on a monthly basis and establish the proper cleaning schedule. Failure to do so can result in reduced efficiency and/or water damage to house and property. If frequent cleaning of the humidifier is required, a sediment filter should be installed upstream of the conical mesh filter to reduce the frequency of cleaning. Water softeners can be used to improve the quality of the supply water, however, deionized water is corrosive and can reduce the operating life of your unit. To Inspect and Clean the Conical Mesh Water Filter 1. Turn OFF the water supply at the saddle valve by turning the valve handle clockwise. Disconnect the water line from the INLET fitting of the solenoid valve using two (2) wrenches, one for the compression nut and one on the INLET fitting. Remove the conical mesh filter from inside the inlet fitting using a small nail or paper clip. NOTE: Be careful not to puncture the filter. Replace the filter and reconnect the water line to the INLET fitting reversing the directions in Step 2. Turn the water back ON at the saddle valve. To Inspect and Clean the Fluid Restrictor 1. Turn OFF the water supply at the saddle valve by turning the valve handle clockwise. Disconnect the water line from the OUTLET fitting of the solenoid valve using two (2) wrenches, one for the compression nut and one on the OUTLET fitting. Locate the fluid restrictor, inside the end of the water line, and inspect it for sediment clogging and accumulation. Clean or replace fluid restrictor as needed. NOTE: Do NOT attempt to enlarge the hole size in the restrictor. This is one of the most common questions from homeowners with new humidifiers. [. . . ] Holes in tray must be cleaned periodically. 11 Parts list Item 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Base Description Model part number Brass solenoid assembly 24VAC Conical mesh filter (12 pack only) Drain tray assembly Evaporator pad (6 pack only) Fluid restrictors (12 pack only) Grommet Side panel Side panel with collar Model G-200 Model G-300 351454-001 351454-015 351409-001 351409-007 454278-002 454278-002 354410-002 354410-002 G-109 G-125-12 G-206-6 G-217-12 G-123 G-109 G-125-12 G-206-6 G-217-12 G-123 G-109 G-125-12 G-116-6 G-128-12 G-123 G-109 G-125-12 G-116-6 G-128-12 G-123 353226-002 353226-002 353226-001 353226-001 454281-002 454281-002 454281-002 454281-002 454280-002 454280-002 454280-002 454280-002 G-139 G-105 IN-2ST 256592-001 G-105 IN-2ST G-105 IN-2ST G-139 256592-001 G-105 IN-2ST 10 Transformer 120/24v 10a Transformer 240/24v 11 Unit cover 12 Water distribution tray 13 Saddle valve assembly 14 Humidistat 454279-002 454279-002 354411-002 354411-002 352680-004 352680-004 352680-004 352680-004 12 Unit Diagram 1 13 12 8 5 9 14 4 11 10 7 3 6 2 13 Warranty Humidifier Limited Two Year Warranty This limited warranty covers Herrmidifier Residential Type Humidifiers, excluding duct work, wiring and installation.
