REPLACING WICK
Part #
MD1-0002
While your humidifier came equipped with a Wick, you will eventually have to replace it, as they last approximately 4–8 weeks, depending
on use.
Many factors affect the life of the Wicks, including amount of use, water hardness and outside environmental factors. You will know
the Wick needs to be replaced when it becomes hard and is no longer absorbing the water effectively. Replace the Wick with a genuine
Vornado
®
Wick. While other brands may fit our units, these wicks do not carry the same quality and life as our own and may diminish the
humidifier’s performance.
The additional sodium in chemically softened water may cause Wicks
to harden. Try using untreated or tap water. Hard water or water with
excessive minerals, such as lime or iron, may shorten Wick life. Try
Bacteriostat or Water Treatment found at most hardware or home
specialty stores.
On first use, the Wick may give off a mild odor. The odor is not
harmful and will go away after the first few hours of operation. If the
odor is exceptionally strong, you can help eliminate most or all of it
by soaking the Wick in a solution of 2 teaspoons of white vinegar and
one gallon of water for 20–30 minutes. Rinse thoroughly in cool water.
Allow excess water to run off and dry before replacing them in the
Base. DO NOT wring.
