TROUBLESHOOTING

Q:I hear the fan turning, but I don’t see any mist. Is my humidifier operating properly?

A:Dry air is pulled through the system and a fan disperses invisible, moisture balanced air. There is no “mist” emitted. When operating normally you will feel only cool air coming from the unit. Monitor the water level in your Tank/ Base. If you notice a decrease in the Water Tank over 24 hours then the unit is operating normally.

Q:My unit has been running for several hours. I hear the fan spinning, but I do not notice the water level in the tank decreasing.

A:First, check the filter to ensure it is wet. If the pad appears dry, remove it from the Base and gently rinse under cool water. Reposition wet filter in the Base. You may also want to note the current mois- ture level in your home. If the humidity level is over 60% the unit will not put out much moisture as your air is already saturated.

Q:The humidifier is not running (the fan is not even spinning), but all (or some) of the lights are on. (Model V3800)

A:If the Desired Humidity light is ON: The Advanced Mist™ Humidistat knob may be set too low. Moving

the knob clockwise to the end should restart the unit.

Q:The Advanced Mist™ Humidistat knob was set according to the manual, but the humidifier never seems to turn back on. Is something wrong? (Model V3800)

A:The Humidistat knob may be set too low. Moving the Humidistat knob to the end clockwise should restart the unit.

Q:The Advanced Mist™ Humidistat knob was set according to the manual, but the humidifier never seems to turn off. Is something wrong? (Model V3800)

A:The Humidistat knob may be set too high. Reset the Advanced Mist™ Humidistat knob following the instructions under FEATURES.

Q:My filter has turned light brown and rust colored. Do I need a new filter?

A:Probably not. Since your filter has been made with Protec™ antimicrobial the change in color indi- cates only a mineral deposit. Soak filter in a sink full of cool water to help break up deposits. The discoloration may remain but will not affect the humidifier’s performance.

Q:My humidifier doesn’t appear to be as clean as when I first purchased and/or I’m smelling an unpleasant odor. What should I do?

A:If you have been using your humidifier regularly for over 30 days, follow the cleaning instructions.

Most models in this series feature an automatic shut-off function that kicks in when the water level is low, providing peace of mind for users. The models are also equipped with a filter-free operation, which minimizes maintenance and the hassle of replacing filters regularly.

Another key characteristic of the V3800 Series is its built-in medicine cup that allows users to add soothing menthol vapors or aromatherapy solutions to enhance their experience. This feature is particularly beneficial for those looking for additional relief from cold symptoms or simply wishing to enjoy a fragrant environment.

Additionally, the V3800 models often include a soothing nightlight feature, making them suitable for use in bedrooms, as they help create a calm atmosphere conducive to sleep while providing necessary humidity.
