Step 6

NOTE: It is recommended that all maintenance be done in the kitchen or bathroom on a water resistant surface.
Remove water tank from unit before moving.

The filter should be changed every 30 to 60 days depending on your water quality. Keep in mind, depending on your
water quality, mineral deposits can still clog or discolor the filter, affecting its life and that of the humidifier.

It is recommended you change your Wicking Filter every 30-60 days depending on water quality and usage.
If you have hard water you may need to replace your filter more frequently. Change your filter if you notice:

• The filter is hard and crusty

• The filter starts to give off an odor

• Moisture output is decreased
Be sure to use only Protec

®

Replacement filters. This humidifier takes Protec WF2 Replacement Filter. The filter is

Protec antimicrobially treated and helps prevent the growth and migration of mold, algae and bacteria on the filter.
To prolong the life of your Wicking Filter, turn it over each time you fill the Water Tank. This will keep the top of the

filter from drying out and will help the filter to age more evenly.
If you notice the filter getting hard, you may soak the Wicking filter in cool water to loosen mineral buildup. This will

temporarily improve the performance until a replacement filter is purchased.
DO NOT attempt to clean the Wicking Filter with vinegar or any chemical solutions. Doing so may damage the Filter.

WARRANTY AND CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE HUMIDIFIER OR PERSONAL INJURY.

CLEANING (Continued) TROUBLESHOOTING

Q: I hear the fan turning, but I don’t see any mist. Is my humidifier operating properly?
A: Dry air is pulled through the system and a fan disperses invisible, moisture balanced air. There is no

“mist” emitted. When operating normally you will feel only cool air coming from the unit. Monitor the
water level in your Tank/ Base. If you notice a decrease in the Water Tank over 24 hours then the
unit is operating normally.

Q: My unit has been running for several hours. I hear the fan spinning, but I do not notice the

water level in the tank decreasing.

A: First, check the filter to ensure it is wet. If the pad appears dry, remove it from the Base and gently

rinse under cool water. Reposition wet filter in the Base. You may also want to note the current
moisture level in your home. If the humidity level is over 60% the unit will not put out much moisture
as your air is already saturated.

Q: My filter has turned light brown and rust colored. Do I need a new filter?
A: Since your filter has been made with Protec

™

antimicrobial the change in color indicates only a
mineral deposit. Soak filter in a sink full of cool water to help break up deposits. The discoloration
may remain but will not affect the humidifier’s performance. If performance is affected then it is
time to replace the filter.

Q: My humidifier doesn’t appear to be as clean as when I first purchased and/or I’m smelling an

unpleasant odor. What should I do?

A: If you have been using your humidifier regularly for over 30 days, follow the cleaning instructions.

Weekly cleaning is recommended.

Q: How do I know if it’s time to replace my filter?
A: If your moisture output is decreased or the filter becomes hard, crusty or starts giving off an odor, it

is time to replace your filter.

Q: I recently bought my humidifier and it is operating properly. The fan is running and the water

level in the tank is decreasing but the room still feels very dry.

A: If you have just started using your humidifier, it will take a few days to return the normal moisture

balance to your room. Wood furniture, flooring, carpeting and other objects in the room will absorb
moisture before it can re-saturate the air. If you run this humidifier with the door open you may be
humidifying a larger area than this humidifier was intended for. Try running with the doors closed
temporarily until the room has reached the desired level of humidity. If your house does not have
adequate insulation this could effect the amount of moisture your room is maintaining.

Q: I’d like to know what my relative humidity level is in my house, how can I obtain

this information?

A: You can purchase a device such as the Vicks Humidity Monitor (model V70) that will display the

relative humidity level in your room.

Step 5 Step 6

Let stand for 20 minutes. Rinse water tray and water

tank thoroughly with water
until the smell of bleach
is gone.

END-OF-SEASON CARE AND STORAGE
