7) We recommend using Bemis by Essick Air Anti-Bacteria Treatment, whenever you refill the humidifier reservoir
to eliminate bacterial growth. Add bacteriostat according to the instructions on the bottle.

AIR CARE® FILTERS
The 526 300 and 526 302 have an optional two-stage air filter that can be inserted into the top of the chassis
which filters the air as it humidifies.
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 of the Air Care filter is an activated carbon media which absorbs odors
from cooking, pets or tobacco smoke.
We recommend replacing the Air Care filter at least once a year, more often if necessary. When the white filter
media is coated with a layer of dust and dirt, it is time to replace the filter.
The certified water output of your humidifier will be reduced when using the Air Care filter. The Air Care filters
are optional and are not required for normal operation of the humidifier.
