REPLACING THE WICK FILTER
Through normal use, waterborne minerals and sedi-
ment become trapped in the Wick Filter. The harder
your water, the greater the amount of minerals in the
water, and the more often you will need to change your
Wick Filter. In general, a brown Wick Filter indicates a
need to replace the Wick Filter.
To replace the Wick Filter, follow the below steps.
1. Turn the Power Knob off and unplug the humidifier
from the
electrical outlet.

instructions.
4. Insert a new Wick Filter into the filter Support in the

It will take about 30 minutes for the humidifier to

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
Humidifiers provide comfort by adding
moisture to dry indoor air. To get the most
benefit from the humidifier and avoid prod-
uct failure, follow all maintenance instruc-
