REPLACING THE FILTER

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 change your filter.

You will be able to monitor the life of the filter in your humidifier by checking the Filter Check™ Indicator. When the unit is off, the Filter Check™ Indicator will read in the OFF position. After 60 minutes of use, Filter Check™ Indicator (refer to fig. 3 for close-up of indicator) will move from the OFF position

and indicate your filter condition.

A brand new filter will register in the blue section reading GOOD filter. After frequent use of your humidifier, the Filter Check™ Indicator will let you know when

the filter needs to be changed.

When the needle is in the red (CHANGE) 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 replace your filter. It is important to change your filter as indicated to obtain stated performance level.
