About White Dust
Use of high-mineral-content water will cause a white mineral residue to accumulate on room
surfaces near the humidifier. The mineral residue is commonly called "white dust". The higher the
mineral content (the harder your water is), the greater the potential for white dust. The white dust
is not caused by a defect in the humidifier, but is due only to minerals suspended in the water.
Kaz Demineralization Cartridge
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 DC-51 should be available where you purchased the humidi-
fier. For assistance in locating an outlet near you or to purchase directly from Kaz, please call
1-800-VAPOR-1-2.
Scent Pad Heater Directions for Use
Your Vicks Ultrasonic Humidifier includes a Scent Pad Heater so that you can enjoy Vicks
Soothing Menthol Vapors to increase your comfort. Each scent pad is designed to last for
6-8 hours of use.
1.
Remove the Water Tank and locate the Scent Pad Slot on the Base under the Water Tank.
(See page 3.)
2.
Place one scent pad in the slot, being careful not to touch scent pad with your hands.
If your hands do come in contact with the pad, please wash them thoroughly as the
menthol can be an irritant.
3.
Replace the tank and turn the unit on.
WARNING:
AS LONG AS YOUR HUMIDIFIER IS ON, THE SCENT PAD HEATER WILL
ALSO BE ACTIVATED. THIS AREA CAN BE WARM TO THE TOUCH.
