Replacement and Care of Filters
WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock or injury from moving parts, always unplug humidifier before removing or replacing any parts.
CAUTION: To help retard bacteria growth and keep maximum efficiency, the filter should be replaced at least once per season, or more often under hard water conditions. Use MoistAIR HDC12 recommended replacement filter.
The filters may be rinsed periodically in clear water only. Take care not to damage paper. To replace evaporative wicking filters in your humidifier, follow these instructions.
1.Unplug humidifier before removing the filters. We recommend moving the humidifier to an area where floor coverings are not susceptible to water damage, i.e. kitchen or bath areas.
2.Open the pivoting lid and remove water bottles and set aside. Grasp the fan assembly front center and rear center. Lift off and set aside on a clean flat surface. The filter housings are now accessible.
3.Lift filter housing out of cabinet and place where you may work on them comfortably. With a soft, absorbent cloth remove any remaining water or loose mineral deposits not trapped in the filter from the humidifier cabinet.
4.To open filter housing for easy access to filters:
a.Deflect the two spring tabs on top of filter housing. Lift top cover off of the filter housing and set aside.
b.Remove the two filters and dispose of properly. Clean internal parts of humidifier per the “Cleaning and Maintenance” section (page 12) of your operator’s manual.
c.Install new filters in the filter housing track with the glue beads of the wicking pad to the inside of the filter housing.
d.Return the top cover of the filter housing by installing cover over the fixed tabs on the rear of the lower filter housing and pivoting the cover down over the top of the filters. Snap the cover over the two spring tabs.
