CLEANING and FILTER CARE
1.Regular cleaning is necessary to ensure proper and efficient operation. The frequency of cleaning depends on the amount of impurities which may be found in the water or how often the Humidifier is in operation. In either instance, it is recommended that the Humidifier be cleaned at least once a week.
CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, always turn Control Knob to OFF (0) position and unplug before cleaning.
9.Use a dry soft cloth to wipe the Chassis area, which includes the motor area. DO NOT use water to clean the Motor or
Switch area. Doing so may result in electrical shock or dam- age to the Humidifier.
10.Commercial "Descalers" and "Bacteriostats" are available at your local home improvement center.
11.Do not operate Humidifier when there is still cleaner in the water.

AC wall outlet. |
CAUTION: Do not plug Humidifier into electrical outlet with wet hands, or electrical shock may occur.
7.Set Moisture Control Knob to regulate desired amount of humidity. (Figure 3)
Figure 3 | HIGH (3): For fast humidification of a large |
| |
| room. This setting will provide approxi- |
| mately 3 gallons of moisture output in |
| a 24 hour period.* |

| LOW (1):For quiet, night time operation. |
5.To increase the life of your Evaporative Pad, unsnap Holder, remove Pad and flip over. (Figure 6)
Evaporative Pad life may be extended by cleaning the Pad in a vinegar solution. To clean Pad, mix one part undiluted vin- egar with four parts warm tap water. Soak the Pad in this solution for 20 minutes, rinse Pad thoroughly with warm wa- ter to remove vinegar odor.
DO NOT FLATTEN, SQUEEZE OR TWIST FILTER WHEN CLEANING.
6.Discoloration of the Evaporative Pad is normal after extended use. The discoloration is caused by mineral deposits in the wa- ter, and the degree of discoloration will vary depending upon the amount of mineral content in the water. When the Pad sur- face area is thoroughly discolored, or you notice reduced wa- ter usage, it is a good indicator that the Evaporative Pad needs to be replaced. The Evaporative Pad should be replaced at least once every season.
