REMOVING PERMANENT FILTER FOR CLEANING
Through normal use, waterborne minerals and sediment become trapped in the wick filter. The harder your water, the greater the amount of minerals in the water, and the more often you will need to clean your filter.
You will be able to monitor the life of the filter in your humidifier by checking the FilterCleanTM. The FilterCleanTM Indicator will only read the filter condition when the humidifier is in operation.
NOTE: It may take up to
60 minutes of operation for the FilterCleanTM Indicator to reflect the filter condition
(see Fig. 2 for closeup of indicator). A brand new filter will register in the
section reading Good filter. After frequent use of your
humidifier, the FilterCleanTM will let you know when the filter needs to be cleaned .
When the needle is in the Wash Filter section, this means the proper amount of moisture is not getting into your air due to the excessive minerals and sediment that have become trapped on your filter. At this point, you should wash your filter. It is important to wash your filter as indicated below to obtain stated performance level.
