Checking the Humidifier Lid Seal
Under normal use, the humidifier lid seal should not require any maintenance or replacement. The seal may be
cleaned as needed by wiping it with a damp cloth. If necessary, the humidifier lid seal may be removed for further
cleaning. Gently peel the seal from the humidifier lid and clean it in a solution of warm water and a mild liquid
dishwashing detergent. Rinse with clean water. Wipe completely on both sides. Allow the seal to air dry. Inspect
the seal for damage. If the humidifier lid seal show signs of wear or damage, contact your home care provider for a
replacement.
To install or reseat your humidifier lid seal, fully open the humidifier lid. Position the seal (1) against the inside of the
lid so the seal's center hole aligns with the humidifier outlet port. Confirm that the seal is positioned so the wire
channel (2) in the seal is below the humidifier outlet port (3).
Note: The seal only fits properly in one orientation.
With the seal loosely in place, start at the bottom (1) and gently press the edges of the seal into the channel in the lid
of the humidifier. Continue sliding your fingers all around the rectangular perimeter of the seal until the outer edge
is completely seated. Next, press the seal around the humidifier outlet port (2) until the center of the seal is fully
seated. Finally, go back and run your fingers around the rectangular perimeter of the humidifier lid seal once more to
confirm it has not become dislodged.
