Service
WARNING: Danger of hot water. Drain water before servicing.
The humidifier requires regular periodic service to ensure efficient and trouble-free running. Regular
service involves cleaning the evaporation chamber and other humidifier components manually.
Generally, frequency of cleaning can range from two months to once a year, depending on the
following factors:
Quality of water
Frequency of automatic drain cycles
Demand placed on the humidifier
All SKG4 humidifiers are programmed for 1000 hours of operation. This is a default factory setting.
To view the number of hours the humidifier has run and the number of service hours, use the control
panel to access the
Service
Menu (see page 54 for more details).
After 1000 hours of operation have passed, the Status Display LED on the control panel will turn red,
indicating that the humidifier is due for servicing. Although the humidifier will continue to operate, it is
imperative that service is performed as soon as possible, in order to ensure proper functionality.
Cleaning the Humidifier
Cleaning the humidifier involves the following steps:
Stage 1 - Drain the Evaporation Chamber
Stage 2 - Shut Down the Electrical Supply
Stage 3 - Remove the Evaporation Chamber
Stage 4 - Clean the Evaporation Chamber
Stage 5 - Clean the Other Components
Stage 6 - Reinstall the Evaporation Chamber
Stage 7 - Restart the Humidifier
Stage 1 - Drain the Evaporation Chamber
Before commencing the cleaning procedure, ensure that the evaporation chamber is cool and
comfortable enough to handle, as the evaporation chamber and its contents can be extremely hot and
can cause burning. To allow the evaporation chamber to cool, initiate a drain cycle:
1. Press and hold the Power
button for 3 seconds to switch off the humidifier.
2. Press and hold the Drain button
for 3 seconds to initiate a drain cycle and empty the
evaporation chamber.
At the end of the drain cycle, check the temperature of the evaporation chamber. To check the
temperature, open the front door of the humidifier and touch the chamber with the back of your hand.
If necessary, press and hold the Power
button for 3 seconds to turn on the humidifier and refill the
evaporation chamber with water, then repeat the above steps until the chamber is cool enough to
handle.
