     Note: Your Valiant’s wicks and wick housing are pre-positioned for you. Note this positioning (or take a picture of it) if you decide to add the casters to your unit, as these will need to be removed to add the casters.

2. Remove everything from the cabinet. Turn the cabinet over and insert the casters snugly into the bottom. Just use your hands! Using tools can crack the cabinet.

3. Turn the cabinet upright and place the wide end of the float in the circular area in the bottom of the cabinet. Make sure the float retainer is between the first and second bumps on the float. Squeeze the float retainer’s prongs together, position them halfway down the long vent slat, then release the prongs to lock in place.

4. Place the wick housing, with the wicks inside, on either side of the float. Make sure each housing is positioned with the FRONT imprint facing the front of the cabinet. The back of the housing should sit against the back of the cabinet. Make sure the wick housing is not touching the float, so it doesn’t obstruct the float’s movement.

5. Place the fan assembly on top of the cabinet making contact with the wick housing. Make sure the float makes a solid connection with the fan switch inside the fan assembly. The fan switch looks like a small, silver diving board.

6. Put your Valiant in the most centrally-located room of your home. It should be on a level surface against an interior wall. Make sure it’s at least two inches from the wall so the humidistat (on the cord) can accurately read your humidity.
   More about positioning:

   • To maximize humidity circulation, put your unit near a cold air return.
   • If you prefer to put your unit in the room where humidity is most needed, you can! But the humidity won’t circulate as well with this method.
   • Don’t put your humidifier under a window, as condensation may occur.
   • Put the unit on the bottom floor of a multi-story home.

7. Put the valve caps on the water bottles. Tighten them with your hands, and make sure they are threaded correctly.

8. Lay each water bottle flat and fill them through the large fill hole on the side of each bottle. Do not overfill the bottles. Screw a fill cap on each bottle with your hands, making sure each cap is correctly threaded. Your Valiant holds 5 gallons of water (2.5 gallons per bottle).
   About water additives:

   • Do not use essential oils in your Valiant.
   • Do not use water softeners.
   • We recommend our Essick Air Bacteriostat to help inhibit mold growth.

9. Your water bottles are marked LEFT and RIGHT. Place the bottles in your Valiant in their correct positions with the valve caps facing down. The raised text on your bottles should face the back of the unit. The right bottle will drain first when the humidifier is running.

10. Wait 20 minutes for the wick to become fully saturated, then proceed to step 11.

11. Plug in your unit and press the power button .

12. Set your desired fan speed by pressing the fan speed button . Your Valiant has three fan speeds that are displayed by F1 (the lowest speed) through F3 (the highest speed).
    Note: On higher speeds, the Valiant puts out a tremendous amount of humidity, so it’s louder on these levels. Most of our customers liken it to the sound of a box fan. Rest assured there is nothing wrong with your unit, it’s just working very hard to put out much-needed humidity.

13. Press the humidity control button to set your humidity level from 25% to 65%. The humidistat on your cord will read your home’s humidity and turn your fan off when the set level is reached. When set to 65%, your unit will run continuously.
    That’s it! Your Valiant is ready to use.

ABOUT THE CODES

• F – The F code means your unit is empty and needs to be FILLED with water.
• CL – Your CONTROLS ARE LOCKED on the current setting. Activate the control lock by holding the power button for five seconds, until CL appears. Your Valiant will lock on the current fan and humidity settings. Release the lock by pressing the power button again for five seconds until the display flashes CL twice, letting you know the lock is off.
• CF – The CF code triggers after 720 hours of use and means it’s time to CHECK YOUR FILTER (wick). Unplug your unit and check your wicks. If your wicks are still in good shape, simply clear the code by plugging your humidifier back in. If your wicks need replacing, follow these quick steps:
  1.  Remove the wick from the wick housing by gently squeezing the tabs connecting the upper and lower housing. Do not discard your housing.
  2.  Insert a new HDC12 Super Wick® in the housing and snap the housing tabs shut.
  3.  Put the wick and housing back into the unit with the FRONT imprint facing the front of the unit.

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR VALIANT

Regular cleaning is important for preventing mold, mildew, and other bacterial growth in your humidifier. It also keeps your Valiant working its best.

1. Let the unit run until it’s empty, then turn it off and unplug it.
2. Remove the fan assembly, bottles, and wick. Throw your wick away if it is time to replace it. Otherwise, put it in a sink while you finish cleaning your Valiant.
3. Pour out any remaining water from the cabinet and water bottles.
4. Fill the cabinet half-full with water and add 1 cup of white vinegar. Let sit for 20 minutes.To disinfect, replace the vinegar with 1 teaspoon of bleach. Do not mix vinegar and bleach.
5. Fill the water bottles half-full with water and add 1 cup of white vinegar to each. Put the caps back on, shake the bottles gently, then let sit for 20 minutes. To disinfect, replace the vinegar with 1 teaspoon of bleach in each bottle.
6. After 20 minutes, empty the cabinet and bottles.
7.  Dampen a sponge with white vinegar, wipe down the cabinet interior and bottles, then rinse everything thoroughly. To disinfect, replace the vinegar with bleach. Wipe down the bottles, float, wick housings, and cabinet interior only.
8. Wipe everything dry and replace the wick, if needed. Then reassemble.

When storing your Valiant, discard the used wick and disinfect the unit using the directions above. Dry the unit thoroughly, and store in a temperature-regulated area. Do not install a new filter until you are ready to use your humidifier again.
