OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1.Turn the Power Knob to the desired setting (HIGH, MED or LOW).
2.Turn the Humidistat Knob to the highest setting.
3.When the desired humidity level is reached the Humidistat Knob can be set to a lower setting to reduce the humidification rate.
NOTE: Allow up to 30 minutes for the Wick Filter to fully absorb water and the unit to produce the maxi- mum moisture output.
4.When the Water Tank is empty and the water in the Humidifier Base is almost empty, you need to refill the Water Tank. The fan will continue to run to help dry the humidifier. Switch off and unplug the unit. Please follow the Daily Cleaning instructions before refilling the Water Tank.

IMPORTANT: If you do not plan to use the humidi- fier for two or more days, make sure any residual water is drained from the Water Tank, Humidifier Base and the Wick Filter to prevent algae or bacte- ria growth.
FILTER MONITOR
(Located on the top of the Humidifier Housing) will let you know when the Wick Filter needs replacing (see Figure 1).
You will be able to monitor the condition of the Wick Filter in your humidifier by checking the Filter Monitor Indicator. When the unit is off or empty of water the Filter Monitor will read in the OFF/FILL position. Within 60 minutes of use the Filter Monitor will move from the OFF position and indicate your Wick Filter condition. A brand new Wick Filter will register in the green section reading GOOD filter. After frequent use of your humidifier, the Filter Monitor indicator will let you know when the Wick Filter should be changed. When the needle is in the purple CHANGE section this means the proper amount of moisture is not getting into your air due to the large amount of minerals and sediment that have become trapped in your Wick Filter. At this point you should replace your Wick Filter. It is important to change your Wick Filter to get the best performance from your humidifier.
