Protec Demineralization Cartridge
(Model PDC-51)
This humidifier may be supplied with a Demineralization Cartridge that removes minerals
from the water. This prevents the precipitation of minerals (“white dust”) that can occur in
hard water areas. The Demineralization Cartridge is designed to last for about a month to
two months of normal use; the effective time will vary depending on the mineral content of
the water used. If you live in a hard water area, we recommend the use of distilled water for
better results from the humidifier.
If you are using distilled water in the humidifier, you may find the Demineralization Cartridge
unnecessary. And, if you choose, you may operate the humidifier without it.
Replacement Cartridge Model PDC-51 should be available where you purchased the
humidifier. For assistance in locating an outlet near you or to purchase directly from Kaz,
please call 1-800-VAPOR-1-2.

to last for 6-8 hours of use.

Tank. (See page 4.)

White Dust
Hardness of water can vary greatly depending on the area. Hard water contains higher-than-
normal levels of various minerals which can be emitted into the air (often referred to as “white
dust”) possibly causing adverse reactions to people with breathing difficulties. The white dust
is not caused by a defect in the humidifier, but it is due to the minerals suspended in the water.
To help reduce this effect, this humidifier is supplied with a Protec Demineralization Cartridge
(Model PDC-51).
Operating Instructions
1.
Do not operate the humidifier without water in the Water Tank.
2.
After filling the humidifier, be sure the Power Knob is in the OFF position, then plug the
power cord into a 120 volt AC wall outlet.
3.
Turn the Power Knob to the On position and then set mist intensity.
4.
Mist will not appear immediately;
allow a few minutes for the water to fill the
Reservoir. If you are using a new Demineralization Cartridge, it may take up to fifteen
minutes for the filtering material to become saturated and for mist to appear.
5.
Direct Mist Nozzle away from walls and furniture. If condensation forms on walls or
windows, or if indoor relative humidity exceeds 50%, reduce mist intensity setting,
open door to room where humidifier is operating, or turn unit off.
6.
If mist is not produced, unplug cord and check the Water Sensor in the Reservoir to
ensure it is in contact with the water. The water level in the Base must be high enough
to partially immerse the Water Sensor in order for the humidifier to work.
7.
Turn the humidifier off before removing and refilling the Water Tank. When the tank is
empty the mist will stop although the fan will continue to operate.
