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.

Troubleshooting
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
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.
•Adjust the humidistat to allow a higher humidity level.
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. Adjust the humidistat to restrict to a lower humidity level.
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
If Fill Cap is too tight:
•Lightly lubricate the Cap Gasket
