Here’s a detailed guide on how to change the humidifier pad for a Humidifier 1042:
Unplug the Humidifier: Always ensure safety first by unplugging the unit before starting any maintenance work.
Locate the Screws: Identify the two screws located above the pad area, which are on top of the black mounting bracket.
Unscrew the Bracket: Use a screwdriver to carefully unscrew the two screws. Make sure to keep them in a safe place so you don’t lose them.
Detach the Water Pipe: Gently pull away the water pipe that is attached to the side solenoid. Be cautious not to apply too much force to avoid damaging any connections.
Remove the Black Bracket: Once the screws are removed and the water pipe is detached, lift the black mounting bracket straight up to access the humidifier pad.
Remove the Old Pad: Gently lift out the humidifier pad. Note that the pad may have a metal border around it; take care while removing it.
Install the New Pad: If you have a new pad, place it in the same position as the old one, making sure it fits securely within the mounting bracket.
Reattach the Black Bracket: Lower the black bracket back into position over the new pad.
Reconnect the Water Pipe: Carefully reattach the water pipe to the side solenoid, ensuring it’s secure.
Secure the Bracket: Use the screws you removed earlier to secure the black bracket back into place.
Plug in the Humidifier: Once everything is secure, plug the humidifier back in.
Test the Unit: Turn it on and check to make sure it’s functioning correctly.
