Electric high efficiency air filter humidifier inoperative These units, when operating properly,
contain extreme high voltages and great care should be exercised when
performing maintenance on them. Most of the filter inserts (the metal
ones) can be washed out with ordinary water and dish soap. Some can be
inserted into your dishwasher and cleaned. It is important that you
thoroughly dry the filter before reinserting it into the unit. Some
units also have charcoal filters. The charcoal filter cannot be washed
and must be replaced. Most problems associated with electronic air
cleaners and humidifiers cannot be repaired by the property owner. It is
therefore suggested that you contact an air conditioning or heating
company for further advice.
