Water Tank · Humidifying Filter - Hitachi EP-A8000 Instruction Manual

Change water daily with fresh tap water.
Discard any remaining water in the tank.
Pour a small quantity of tap water, tighten the cap firmly and shake to wash.
(Change water and repeat the steps twice or three times.)
WARNING
Do not use detergents (for either kitchen or laundry use) for cleaning.
Do not push in the pin at the center of the cap. Doing so may cause water to leak.
Be sure to stop operation before removing the water tank from the unit.
CAUTION
Do not set the water tank without first setting the water tray in place. Otherwise, the water tank may tip over.
When you remove the water tank, water may drip from the tank cap.
Humidifying Filter
The humidifying system employed in this product is the evaporating type that produces moisturized air
by passing an air stream through the humidifying filter.
Depending on the application environment, dirt or odor may adhere to the humidifying filter even when
the "Humidify" or "Skin Moisturize" mode is not activated.
When "Humidify" or "Skin Moisturize" mode is used, be sure to pour tap water into the water tank.
Although the humidifying filter has been treated against bacteria and mold, it may get slimy or moldy, or may
become discolored to pink, red, green, brown or gray after a short period of use depending on the quality of tap
water used, and the application environment. (Discoloration has no effect on humidifying performance.)
It is recommended that the filter be cleaned as often as practicable regardless of whether the "Clean
Humidifying Filter" indicator lights up or not.
Early replacement of the filter is recommended if it exhibits any of the following conditions despite periodical cleaning.
Heavy dirt is present, adhered water scale is difficult to remove, bad odors, serious damage or deformation
If you do not use the "Humidify" or "Skin Moisturize" mode, drain the water tank and water tray.
Remaining water can be a cause of dirt or discoloration.
Do not disassemble the humidifying filter from its case.
Submerge the
humidifying filter in either
water, lukewarm water or
water containing neutral
kitchen detergent for
30 minutes or longer.
Do not disassemble the humidifying filter from its case.
When you use neutral kitchen detergent, follow
the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
(Only use neutral kitchen detergent.)
Shake lightly to drain off water.
(Continue until no more dripping
occurs.)
As you operate the unit, whitish or brownish water scale will adhere to the inside of the water tray or
to the surface of the humidifying filter. Water scale is residue minerals from tap water that have not
evaporated. If you continue to use the filter without cleaning the water scale, it will solidify and become
difficult to remove, resulting in lower humidifying performance.
Depending on the quality of tap water used, water scale may adhere quickly.
In such a case, clean the filter on a frequent basis.
When you rinse the humidifying filter, rinse it as assembled with its case. Do not remove the case.
(Removing the case may cause deformation or damage.)
Do not scrub the humidifying filter with a brush or press forcibly to deform.
(Doing so may cause damage and deterioration in performance.)
A new humidifying filter may smell at the beginning. This is normal.
Replace the filter early if it is damaged.
Washing the humidifying filter with citric acid will deteriorate the anti-bacterial and anti-mold performance.
CAUTION
Do not install the humidifying filter on the unit if containing too much water. Doing so may cause water to leak.
