would on manual setting.
REMOVING FILTER FOR CLEANING
Through normal use, waterborne minerals and sediment
become trapped in the wick filters. The harder your water,
the greater the amount of minerals in the water, and the
more often you will be able to monitor the life of your filters
in your humidifier.
The long life filters have an average life of 3 months of use.
Throughout the three months, the filters can be hand washed
with a mild antibacterial dish washing detergent. Please
replace filter after three months of use or when it begins to
turn into a light brown color and filter begins to deteriorate.
The FilterClean Indicator will allow you to monitor how often
