Important Safety Instructions

READ AND SAVE THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE

WHEN USING ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES, BASIC PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND INJURY TO PERSONS, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:

1. The appliance should ALWAYS be placed on a firm, flat, waterproof surface at least four feet away from bedside, six inches from the wall and out of reach of children and pets. Be sure the appliance is in a stable position and the power cord is away from heated surfaces and out of the way to prevent the Humidifier from being tipped over.
2. The appliance should not be left unattended in a closed room since air could become saturated and cause personal injury or property damage. Leave room door partly open. DO NOT aim mist directly at children, walls or furniture.
3. Before using the appliance, extend the cord and inspect for any signs of damage. DO NOT use the unit if the cord has been damaged. DO NOT operate with power cord coiled or with twist tie in place.
4. The appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) as a safety feature. This plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt to defeat this safety feature.
5. CAUTION: To avoid fire or shock hazard, plug the appliance directly into a 120V AC electrical outlet. To avoid risk of fire, shock or personal injury, DO NOT use an extension cord or power strip.
6. The appliance should always be unplugged and emptied when not in operation or while being cleaned. Shut off and unplug humidifier before moving. DO NOT move or tilt humidifier while it is in operation. Plug and unplug unit with dry hands. NEVER pull by cord.
7. DO NOT operate the appliance without water. Turn off and unplug unit when tank is empty.
8. CAUTION: When moving or lifting the full Water Tank, use two hands; one hand on the Tank Handle and the other on the bottom of the Tank.
9. Appliance requires regular cleaning. Refer to and follow cleaning instructions.
10. DO NOT operate outdoors; this appliance is intended for indoor use only.
11. DO NOT cover or insert objects into any openings on the unit.
12. DO NOT block intake or output vents.
13. DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust any electrical or mechanical functions on this appliance. Doing so will void your warranty.

Changing Your Filter

NOTE: It is recommended that all maintenance be done in the kitchen or bathroom on a water resistant surface. Remove water tank from unit before moving.

The filter should be changed every 30 to 60 days depending on your water quality. Keep in mind, depending on your water quality, mineral deposits can still clog or discolor the filter, affecting its life and that of the humidifier. This product does not protect users or others from bacteria, virus, or other disease causing organisms.

To change the filter:

1. Uses replacement filter WF2.
2. Turn off and unplug your humidifier.
3. Remove the water tank and filter tray.
4. Remove filter tray from unit. Discard old filter and set filter tray aside.
5. Soak new filter in cool water.
6. DO NOT wring filter.
7. Insert new filter into filter tray. Place filter tray back in humidifier.
NOTE: For best fit and performance remove filter tray from the humidifier and insert presoaked new filter.
8. Replace the water tank.

Wicking Filter Maintenance

It is recommended you change your Wicking Filter every 30-60 days depending on water quality and usage. If you have hard water you may need to replace your filter more frequently. Change your filter if you notice:

• The filter is hard and crusty
• The filter starts to give off an odor
• Moisture output is decreased

Be sure to use only Protec® Replacement filters. This humidifier takes Protec PWF2 Replacement Filter.
To prolong the life of your Wicking Filter, turn it over each time you fill the Water Tank. This will keep the top of the filter from drying out and will help the filter to age more evenly.
If you notice the filter getting hard, you may soak the Wicking filter in cool water to loosen mineral buildup. This will temporarily improve the performance until a replacement ilter is purchased.
DO NOT attempt to clean the Wicking Filter with vinegar or any chemical solutions. Doing so may damage the Filter.

Cleaning

Cleaning involves two steps, SCALE REMOVAL and DISINFECTING. Be sure to perform these in the proper order to avoid harmful chemical interactions.

NOTE: REMOVE FILTER BEFORE CLEANING. Failure to remove filter during cleaning will destroy the filter

Scale Removal (Recommend this process be performed on a weekly basis)

1. Turn off and unplug your humidifier.
2. Remove and empty water tank.
3. Remove filter and set aside.
4. Remove Filter Tray and fill filter tray and water tank with undiluted vinegar and soak for 10-15 minutes.
5. Using undilluted vinegar wipe base thoroughly.
6. Rinse water tank, filter tray and base thoroughly with water to remove scale.

Disinfecting (Recommend this process be performed on a weekly basis)

1. Turn off and unplug your humidifier.
2. Remove and empty water tank.
3. Remove filter and set aside. Dilute 1 tablespoon (TBS) of bleach in 1 gallon of cool water.
4. Fill water tank with water and bleach solution. Remove water tray from unit and fill with the remaining water and bleach solution. Wipe base with the same solution.
5. Let stand for 20 minutes.
6. Rinse water tray and water tank thoroughly with water until the smell of bleach is gone.
NOTE: The use of other water treatment products and chemicals may cause deterioration of the filter or damage the humidifier, thereby hindering the humidifier’s effectiveness.

Troubleshooting

Q: I hear the fan turning, but I don’t see any mist. Is my humidifier operating properly?
A: Dry air is pulled through the system and a fan disperses invisible, moisture balanced air. There is no “mist” emitted. When operating normally you will feel only cool air coming from the unit. Monitor the water level in your Tank/ Base. If you notice a decrease in the Water Tank over 24 hours then the unit is operating normally.

Q: My unit has been running for several hours. I hear the fan spinning, but I do not notice the water level in the tank decreasing.
A: First, check the filter to ensure it is wet. If the pad appears dry, remove it from the Base and gently rinse under cool water. Reposition wet filter in the Base. You may also want to note the current moisture level in your home. If the humidity level is over 60% the unit will not put out much moisture as your air is already saturated.

Q: My filter has turned light brown and rust colored. Do I need a new filter?
A: Since your filter has been made with Protec®, the change in color indicates only a mineral deposit.
Soak filter in a sink full of cool water to help break up deposits. The discoloration may remain but will not affect the humidifier’s performance. If performance is affected then it is time to replace the filter.

Q: My humidifier doesn’t appear to be as clean as when I first purchased and/or I’m smelling an unpleasant odor. What should I do?
A: If you have been using your humidifier regularly for over 30 days, follow the cleaning instructions. Weekly cleaning is recommended.

Q: How do I know if it’s time to replace my filter?
A: If your moisture output is decreased or the filter becomes hard, crusty or starts giving off an odor, it is time to replace your filter.

Q: I recently bought my humidifier and it is operating properly. The fan is running and the water level in the tank is decreasing but the room still feels very dry.
A: If you have just started using your humidifier, it will take a few days to return the normal moisture balance to your room. Wood furniture, flooring, carpeting and other objects in the room will absorb moisture before it can re-saturate the air. If you run this humidifier with the door open you may be humidifying a larger area than this humidifier was intended for. Try running with the doors closed temporarily until the room has reached the desired level of humidity. If your house does not have adequate insulation this could effect the amount of moisture your room is maintaining.

Q: I’d like to know what my relative humidity level is in my house, how can I obtain this information?
A: You can purchase a device such as the Vicks Humidity Monitor (model V70) that will display the relative humidity level in your room.
