How To Extend the Life of Your Humidier
Mineral buildup on the humidier’s heating element is harmful to the unit. There-
fore, routine maintenance is vital to the effectiveness and longevity of your hu-
midier.
The normal service interval will vary from one-to-three months (i.e., one or two
cleanings during a typical humidication season, plus a thorough cleaning at
the end of the season). The hardness of your water, your humidistat setting,
weather conditions, home construction and the number of occupants in the
home all affect the amount of time between cleanings. Due to the complexity
of your Skuttle Steam Humidier, we strongly recommend that you make
arrangements with your preferred HVAC or plumbing contractor to clean
and service the unit at regular intervals.
NOTE: Some 60-series models (F60-1 and F60-2) are equipped with a
Skuttle Programmable Automatic Flushing Timer (see below), which can
reduce maintenance signicantly. Nevertheless, it is wise to check the hu-
midier for mineral buildup every two months or so during the humidication
season, and to contact an HVAC dealer if necessary.
CAUTIONS: Do not leave water in the humidier over the warm-weather
months.
If the home is left unattended for an extended period of time (e.g., when you
go on vacation), turn the humidistat and the water supply to the humidier
off.
