tive humidity in your home is below the humidistat

4. The refill light will indicate when the unit is comple-
tely out of water. The motor will also shut off. To
refill, see Step 9.
NOTE: When excessive condensation exists, a
lower speed setting is recommended.
CAUTION: Disconnect power before filling,
cleaning or servicing unit. Keep grille dry at all
times.
OPTIONAL AIRCARE® FILTER
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 is an activated carbon media which absorbs
odors from cooking, pets, or tobacco smoke. We re-
commend replacing the AirCare filter at least once a
year and more often if necessary. When the white fil-
ter media is coated with a layer of dust and dirt, it is
time to replace the AirCare filter. The certified water
output of your humidifier will be reduced when using
the AirCare filter. AirCare filters are optional and are
not required for normal operation of the humidifier.

05. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning your humidifier regularly helps elimina-
te odors and bacterial and fungal growth. Ordinary
household bleach is a good disinfectant and can be
used to wipe out the humidifier base and bottle/re-
servoir after cleaning. We recommend cleaning your
humidifier at least once every two weeks to maintain
optimum environmental conditions for your home.
We also recommend using B 200 ionic silverstick 50
each time you refill your humidifier to eliminate bac-
terial growth. Add bacteriostat according to the inst-
ructions on the bottle.
1. Turn off unit completely counterclockwise and un-
plug from outlet.
2. Lift out the water bottle and the power pack.
3. Carry bottle and base to cleaning basin. Lift wick
with float assembly from the base allowing the wa-
ter to drain and remove float assembly from wick.
Rinse wick under freshwater only. Do not use soap,
detergent, or any other cleaners on the wick. Leave
in sink to drain.

tle. Fill both reservoir and water bottle ½ full with
