END-OF-THE-SEASON CARE AND STORAGE

•Follow weekly CLEANING instructions when the humidifier will not be used for at least one week or more, or at the end of the season.

•At the end of the season, remove and throw away the filter; do not store with a used filter.

•Dry the humidifier completely before storing. DO NOT store with water inside the Base or Water Tank.

•Pack the unit in its original carton and store in a cool, dry location.

•Before next use, remember to install a new filter and clean the humidifier.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

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 Cool Moisture 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 moisture pad to be sure 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 check 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.
