It is recommended you change your Wicking Filter every 30-60 days
depending on water quality and usage. If you have hard water you
may need to replace your filter more frequently.
Change your filter if you notice:
• The filter is hard and crusty
• The filter starts to give off an odor
• Moisture output is decreased
Be sure to use only Protec
®
Replacement filters. This humidifier takes Protec PWF2
Replacement Filter. The filter is Protec antimicrobially treated and helps prevent the
growth and migration of mold, algae and bacteria on the filter.
To prolong the life of your Wicking Filter, turn it over each time you fill the Water Tank.
This will keep the top of the filter from drying out and will help the filter to age
more evenly.
If you notice the filter getting hard, you may soak the Wicking filter in cool water to loosen mineral
buildup. This will temporarily improve the performance until a replacement filter is purchased.
Do not
attempt to clean the Wicking Filter with vinegar or any chemical solutions. Doing so may
damage the Filter.
NOTE:
Running the humidifier without water in the Tank or Reservoir will help dry out Wicking Filter
quickly for short term storage.
Protec antimicrobial layers in the Wicking Filter help to prevent growth of mold on the filter. However,
the filter still needs to be replaced regularly. Humidifier filters and accessories require replacement
and are not covered under warranty.
2.
Turn the Power Knob to high
(
)
or low
( )
setting.
High
(
)
setting will provide quicker moisture output. The fan will push more moisture off the
Wicking Filter and into the air. The water level will go down faster than on the low
( )
setting
since more moisture is going into the air.
Low
( )
will provide less moisture output. The fan will run quieter and the Water Tank will not
have to be filled as frequently since less moisture is going into the air.
3.
When the Tank is empty, turn off the humidifier and refill it. NOTE: if the humidifier will not be
used for more than a few days, empty the water from the Water Tank and Reservoir and dry out
the filter to prevent growth of bacteria or mold.
NOTE:
While the humidifier is operating, you will hear the fan running but will
NOT
see the
moisture output. This is normal for an evaporative humidifier. To check the humidity level in the
room, use a humidity monitor like the Vicks V70 or V70-CAN, available at retailers or online at
www.vickshumidifiers.com
.
You may hear a gurgling sound. This is the water flowing from the Water Tank into the Reservoir and
indicates your humidifier is working properly.
