TROUBLESHOOTING
Q: hear the fan turning, but | 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. | hear the fan spinning, but |
do not notice the water level in the tank decreasing.
A: _ First, check the fitter to ensure it is wet. If the pad appears dry,
remove it from the Base and gently rinse under cool water. Reposition wet
fitter 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 tumed light brown and rust colored. Do | need a new filter?
A: Probably not. Since your filter has been made with Protec™ antimicrobial
the change in color indicates only a mineral deposit. Soak fitter in a sink
full of cool water to help break up deposits.
The discoloration may remain but will not affect the humidifier’s performance.
Q: My humidifier doesn’t appear to be as clean as when | first purchased
and/or I’m smelling an unpleasant odor. What should | do?
A: _ If you have been using your humidifier regularly for over 30 days, follow
the cleaning instructions.
Q: How do | know if it’s time to replace my filter?
A: A buildup of impurities and minerals on the Wicking Filter (evidenced by
discoloration of the Wicking Filter), an appreciable decrease in Humidifier
output, the top of the Wicking Filter is not moist to the touch, the Wicking
Filter has large holes or tears.
Q: 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.
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 |
obtain this information?
A: You can purchase a device such as the Vicks V70/V70-CAN, called a
hygrometer that will display the relative humidity level in your room.
