Service
1. Open the humidifier evaporating chamber. If the tank
is hot, cool it down first. See cool‑down instructions on
facing page.
2. Inspect the tank interior for debris and pitting.
3. Inspect the valve inlet for debris.
4. Check the operation of the float valve and the condition of
the float seat.
5. Check the low water switch to make sure the float slides
freely on the stem.
6. Secure the chamber cover, making sure the cover gasket is
seated and the chamber is sealed.
Note: Although DI models do not require regular tank
cleaning, this service kit contains a new cleanout
plate gasket and nuts. If replacing the gasket, replace
the nuts also, and torque the nuts to 25 to 35 in‑lbs
(2.8 to 4.0 N‑m).
