ReAD AND SAve THeSe INSTRUCTIONS
The Microban
®
evaporative Humidifier has a unique patented design with several innovative
features:
• Low Maintenance – Our paper wicks are designed to last one full humidifer season.
• Regulated Release™ System – By dispersing water from the top of the wick, stagnant water around the wick is elimnated,
and the buildup of mineral residue that can clog the wick and impede performance is eliminated.
• Built-in Antimicrobial Properties – We use Microban
®
on many of the plastic parts and wick. This helps inhibit the growth
of bacteria, mold and fungi that may affect these parts.
NOTe:
This product contains antimicrobial properties which are built-in to inhibit the growth of bacteria which may affect
the plastic and wick in the humidifier. These properties do not extend to the water, humidified air, or users. Conduct routine
cleaning and maintenance based upon use and individual conditions.

Evaporative Humidifier produces no white dust that can settle on furniture or be inhaled.
