FILTER INDICATION:
The filter’s condition is critical to the humidifier’s effectiveness. A check filter
function (
CF
) will display every 720 hours of operation to remind the user to check
the condition of the wick. Water condition significantly affects the life of a wick, so
replacement of wick may be required more often if hard water conditions exist
.

the power cord and check the condition of the wick. Replace
wick as necessary. The CF function is reset after plugging the
unit back in.
OPTIONAL AIRCARE
®
AIR FILTER
The optional AIRCARE
®
filter #1051 is an excellent means of cleaning the air
while using your humidifier. The first stage of the air filter is a high-efficiency,
electrostatically charged filter media which traps dust, pollen, and airborne
pollutants. The second stage is an activated carbon media which absorbs odors
from cooking, pets, or tobacco smoke.
We recommend replacing the AIRCARE
®
air filter at least once a year and more
often if necessary. When the white filter media is coated with a layer of dust and
dirt, it is time to replace the air filter. The certified water output of your humidifier
will be reduced when using the air filter. The air filters are optional and are not
required for normal operation of the humidifier.
