Scent pad replacement:
Your humidifier is equipped with a compartment that can hold scented medicine
pads. These typically are scented with mentholatum to help with congestion. The
pads will last approximately 24 hours before needing to be replaced. Use of these
medicine pads is optional and not necessary to operate the unit.
1. Turn the humidifier off.
2. The scent pad compartment is located on the back of the humidifier directly
under the UVC cover.
3. Slide your finger underneath the edge of the scent pad compartment and
gently pull outward. Figure 9. The scent pad is located inside the compartment.
4. Remove the used scent pad and replace with a new one. Slide the scent pad
compartment back into the unit until it snaps into place.
5. Turn the unit back on and resume operation.
Wick replacement:
The wick in your humidifer is made to last for an entire running season, about 4
months. It is possible, depending on the quality of water in your area, that it may
have to be changed more frequently.
1. Turn the humidifier off and unplug it from the wall outlet.
2. Remove the tank for the housing.
3. Locate the 3 lock tabs in the base of the unit. Turn them clockwise until the
base of the tab lines up with the indentions in the base and lift off the housing.
Figure 10.
4. Locate and turn the lock tab clockwise on the base holding the wick frame.
Remove the wick frame and set it aside. Figure 11.
5. Remove the old wick by pulling the bottom of the wick out of the frame first
and discard.
6. Insert the new wick top first. Ensure the wick is in between the tabs at the top
of the wick frame then slide the bottom part of the wick into the frame, making
sure not to crush the bottom corners of the wick.
7. Reassemble the unit and refill the water tank if necessary.
8. Turn the unit back on and resume operation.
