F
– The F code means your unit is empty and needs to be FILLED with water.
CL
– Your CONTROLS ARE LOCKED on the current setting. Activate the control lock by holding the power button for five
seconds, until CL appears. Your Valiant will lock on the current fan and humidity settings. Release the lock by pressing the
power button again for five seconds until the display flashes CL twice, letting you know the lock is off.
CF
– The CF code triggers after 720 hours of use and means it’s time to CHECK YOUR FILTER (wick). Unplug your unit and
check your wicks. If your wicks are still in good shape, simply clear the code by plugging your humidifier back in. If your wicks
need replacing, follow these quick steps:
1.
Remove the wick from the wick housing by gently squeezing the tabs connecting the upper and lower housing.
Do not discard your housing.
2. Insert a new HDC12 Super Wick® in the housing and snap the housing tabs shut.
3. Put the wick and housing back into the unit with the FRONT imprint facing the front of the unit.
Regular cleaning is important for preventing mold, mildew, and other bacterial growth
in your humidifier. It also keeps your Valiant working its best.
1. Let the unit run until it’s empty, then turn it off and unplug it.
2. Remove the fan assembly, bottles, and the wick. Throw your wick away if it is time to
replace it. Otherwise, put it in a sink while you finish cleaning your Valiant.
3. Pour out any remaining water from the cabinet and water bottles.
4. Fill the cabinet half-full with water and add 1 cup of white vinegar. Let sit for 20 minutes.
To disinfect, replace the vinegar with 1 teaspoon of bleach.
Do not mix vinegar and
bleach.
5. Fill the water bottles half-full with water and add 1 cup of white vinegar to each. Put the
caps back on, shake the bottles gently, then let sit for 20 minutes.
To disinfect, replace
the vinegar with 1 teaspoon of bleach in each bottle.
6. After 20 minutes, empty the cabinet and bottles.
7. Dampen a sponge with white vinegar, wipe down the cabinet interior and bottles, then
rinse everything thoroughly.
To disinfect, replace the vinegar with bleach. Wipe down
the bottles, float, wick housings, and cabinet
interior
only.
8. Wipe everything dry and replace the wick, if needed. Then reassemble.
When storing your Valiant
, discard the used wick and disinfect the unit using the
directions above. Dry the unit thoroughly, and store in a temperature-regulated
area. Do not install a new filter until you are ready to use your humidifier again.
ABOUT THE CODES
HOW TO CLEAN YOUR VALIANT
Your water bottles are marked LEFT and
RIGHT. Place the bottles in your Valiant in
their correct positions with the valve caps facing
down. The raised text on your bottles should face
the back of the unit. The right bottle will drain first
when the humidifier is running.
Wait 20 minutes for the wick to become
fully saturated, then proceed to step 11.
Plug in your unit and press the power
button .
Set your desired fan speed by pressing
the fan speed button . Your Valiant
has three fan speeds that are displayed by F1 (the
lowest speed) through F3 (the highest speed).
Press the humidity control button to
set your humidity level from 25% to 65%.
The humidistat on your cord will read your home’s
humidity and turn your fan off when the set level
is reached. When set to 65%, your unit will run
continuously.
That’s it! Your Valiant is ready to use.

Note:
On higher speeds, the Valiant puts out a tremendous amount of
humidity, so it’s louder on these levels. Most of our customers liken it to
the sound of a box fan. Rest assured there is nothing wrong with your
unit, it’s just working very hard to put out much-needed humidity.
