REPLACING THE WICK 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 wick filter. You will be able to check the life of the filter on your humidifier by checking the Filter Monitor located on the moisture outlet. When the unit is not in operation, the Filter Monitor will also read as OFF. When the unit is turned on, the Filter Monitor needle will need 60 minutes to read the current filter condition. If the needle reads change after 60 minutes, then filter replacement is needed. Regular filter replacement is necessary to ensure optimal humidifier performance.
