Store in a cool dry location.

Disinfecting the Water Tray and Tank

1. Fill tank with 1 teaspoon of household bleach in 1 gallon of water. Let stand twenty (20) minutes, shaking vigorously every few minutes, drain and rinse with clean water until the bleach smell is gone. Dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.

2. Wipe the Water Tray with a soft cloth dampened in the bleach and water solution. Rinse the Water Tray thoroughly or place in dishwasher before proceeding.

3. Wipe all exterior surfaces of the Base with a soft, dry cloth. Do not immerse the Base in water or use water to clean the base. An electric shock may result or the humidifier may be damaged.

CAUTION: Do not wash the Wicking Filter since this could damage the wick.

End of Season Maintenance

1. Follow above weekly cleaning procedure at the end of the humidification season, or when the humidifier will not be used for several days, being sure to dry all parts. Allow the Water Tank to air dry before storing. Do not store with water inside.

2. Leave Tank Cap partially loosened during storage to prevent Tank Cap and Gasket from sticking together. This will prolong the life of the gasket.

3. At the end of season, remove and throw away the Wicking Filter. Never leave a used filter in the humidifier during storage.

4.

5. Order your new Kaz Replacement WF2 Wicking Filter now, so that it will be available for use next season.

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 humidifier will run for increasingly longer periods between fillings

•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.

This advanced device offers a range of features and technologies that make it a popular choice for families seeking relief from dry air and respiratory ailments.

One of the standout features of the Vicks V3100 is its cool mist technology. This humidifier operates by converting water into a fine mist that is released into the air, effectively elevating humidity levels without warming the moisture.

The V3100 is equipped with a large water tank that holds up to 1.5 gallons of water, allowing for extended operation without the need for frequent refilling. This feature is particularly convenient for overnight use, ensuring that your environment remains comfortable throughout the night. The tank is easy to fill and clean, promoting hygienic usage and reducing the risk of bacteria growth.

Another significant characteristic of the Vicks V3100 is its adjustable mist output. Users can customize the level of humidity to suit their individual preferences, whether they need a gentle mist for a baby's room or a more robust output for a larger space. This flexibility is complemented by a built-in humidity control system that automatically regulates output based on the room's current humidity levels, optimizing performance and energy efficiency.

For added functionality, the Vicks V3100 is compatible with Vicks VapoPads, infused pads that contain soothing menthol scents. These pads can help to ease breathing and promote relaxation, making it a versatile option for those seeking additional relief from congestion and discomfort.

The unit is also designed with user-friendly features such as an illuminated water level indicator, making it easy to monitor water levels at a glance. Additionally, the quiet operation ensures that it won’t disturb sleep, producing only a gentle hum.

Overall, the Vicks V3100 humidifier combines advanced technology with thoughtful design, offering effective moisture relief while enhancing air quality. Its features cater to various needs, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking to improve their indoor environment.
