Wicking Filter Maintenance

Wicking Filter performance will diminish depending on the mineral content of the water and the amount of airborne dust in the environment.

IMPORTANT: CHECK WICKING FILTER REGULARLY. Any of the following conditions indicate that it is time to replace the Wicking Filter.

A buildup of impurities and minerals on the Wicking Filter (evidenced by discoloration of the Wicking Filter)

An appreciable decrease in Humidifier output

The top of the Wicking Filter is not moist to the touch

The Wicking Filter has large holes or tears

The Wicking Filter should be replaced at least one or two times during the season, depending on usage, mineral content of the water and the environment. We encourage you to only use a Kaz Model WF2 Replacement Wicking Filter. The use of other Wicking Filters may lead to substandard performance.

Replacement Filters

WF2 Wicking Filters are generally available where you purchased your Humidifier. If you are unable to locate replacement filters at your local retailer, they may be ordered directly from Kaz.

WF2 Wicking Filters cost $10 for 2 Filters or $7 for 1 Filter plus $4 for handling and postage.

Trouble-Shooting

If the unit does not operate:

Check that polarized plug is fully inserted into wall outlet.

Check airflow. Are there any obstructions preventing airflow?

The motor contains a temperature-limiting fuse. If the motor overheats, the fuse will trip and shut off the motor. Unplug the unit and contact our Consumer Service Department. Do not attempt to repair the motor yourself.

If you do not obtain enough humidity:

The moisture output from an evaporative Humidifier is invisible. It is operating properly if water level goes down during usage, even when you cannot see the vapor.

Check the Wicking Filter. Replace the Filter if it is clogged, torn or discolored.

Check the water level. Refilling may be required.

If you are obtaining too much humidity:

If room air is excessively humid (greater than 50% relative humidity), do not use the Humidifier. Excessive humidity is indicated by condensation on cold surfaces or walls in the room. For proper humidity readings, use a hygrometer available in most hardware and department stores.

If water leakage occurs:

Make sure unit is unplugged from wall outlet.

Remove Tank from Base and check Fill Cap. Make sure the Cap Gasket (O-Ring) is properly positioned in the cap and the spring valve operates freely. If leakage still occurs contact our Consumer Service Department.

If Fill Cap is too tight:

Lightly lubricate the Cap Gasket (O-Ring) with petroleum jelly.

V3500 specifications

The Vicks V3500 is a prominent vaporizer that has garnered attention for its ability to provide soothing relief during cold and flu seasons. This device is particularly popular among families with children, as it operates quietly and effectively, helping to maintain a comfortable environment for sleeping and relaxation.

One of the main features of the Vicks V3500 is its ability to release a cool mist, which is beneficial for alleviating symptoms of respiratory illnesses. The cool mist not only helps to hydrate the air but also can soothe irritated nasal passages and throats. This makes it an ideal choice for those suffering from congestion, sinus pressure, or allergies. Utilizing ultrasonic technology, the V3500 creates a fine mist without producing noise, ensuring that it won’t disturb sleep, which is crucial during times of illness.

The vaporizer is equipped with a large water tank that can hold up to 1.5 gallons of water, allowing for extended operation without frequent refills. This feature is particularly advantageous during overnight use, as it can run continuously, providing relief throughout the night. Additionally, it has an easy-to-fill tank design, making it convenient for regular use.

Another characteristic that sets the Vicks V3500 apart is its compatibility with Vicks VapoSteam and other inhalants. By adding these soothing menthol vapors to the tank, users can enhance their experience, making breathing even easier during times of congestion or discomfort. This versatility allows families to tailor their usage to meet specific needs, further enhancing its effectiveness.

Safety is also a priority in the design of the V3500. The unit features an automatic shut-off function that activates when the water level is low. This not only protects the device from damage but also adds a layer of safety for users, particularly in homes with children.

Maintenance is straightforward, as the Vicks V3500 is designed for easy cleaning. Regular maintenance helps to ensure that the vaporizer operates efficiently and continues to provide relief without the buildup of bacteria or mold.

In summary, the Vicks V3500 offers a combination of cool mist technology, large capacity, and compatibility with soothing inhalants, making it a popular choice for families. Its quiet operation, automatic shut-off feature, and ease of maintenance further elevate its status as a reliable solution for respiratory comfort during demanding cold and flu seasons.
