HUMIDIFYING FILTER

Care Cycle
Frequency of maintenance cycle will depend on the hardness or the impurities of the water that
you use; the harder the water the more often descaling will be necessary.
Pay attention not to spill water when cleaning the fi lter.
1
Remove the Water Tank and
Humidifying Tray.
2
Remove the Humidifying filter
from the Humidifying Tray.
Avoid spilling water from the Humidifying
Tray.
3
Preparing the descaling solu-
tion.
Citric acid, available at some drugstores,
or 100 % bottled lemon juice are used for
descaling. Choose either one to use, and
prepare the descaling solution.
<For using citric acid>
Dissolve 3 teaspoons of citric acid and 2
1/2 cups of lukewarm water in a suitable
container, and stir well.
<For using lemon juice>
100 % bottled lemon juice can be used
for descaling. Use only 100 % bottled
lemon juice with no pulp (strain juice if
necessary). Combine 1/4 cup lemon juice
and 3 cups of lukewarm water in a con-
tainer large enough to hold the Humidify-
ing fi lter and stir well.
4
Pre-soak the Humidifying filter
in the solution for 30 minutes
before cleaning.
When using lemon juice, it is recommend-
ed to pre-soak longer than citric acid.
Once a month or when the Filter Indicator Light is on.
(See E-15)
5
Rinse the Humidifying fi lter re-
peatedly with lukewarm water
to remove all the solution resi-
due.
Inadequate rinsing may cause odor and
affect the performance and/or appear-
ance of the unit.
* Do not scrub the Hu-
midifying filter, rinse
gently under lukewarm
water only.

ON, and press the Filter Reset
Button on the display for more
than 3 seconds to reset.
You may notice reddish-brown or
white deposits forming on the surface
of the Humidifying fi lter. These impuri-
ties (calcium, etc.) are due to the im-
purities contained in tap water; this is
not a defect. Replace the Humidifying
fi lter when it is covered completely in
white deposits.
