Put your Mini-Console 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.

Remove the water bottle from the base and unscrew the water bottle cap. Take the demineralization cartridge from the parts bag and screw it into the water bottle cap. Fill the water bottle, then put the cap back on. Tighten the cap with your hands, making sure the cap is correctly threaded.

About water additives:

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

Put the water bottle in the base and let the bottle drain completely. Make sure the plunger in the cap connects with the post in the base. Remove the bottle and refill it. Put the bottle back into the base. Filled twice like this, your Mini-Console holds 2.5 gallons of water. Wait 20 minutes for the wick to become fully saturated, then proceed to step 8. Plugin your unit and press the power button Set your desired fan speed by pressing the fan button. Your Mini-Console has three fan speeds that are displayed by F1 (the lowest speed) through F3 (the highest speed). The additional AUTO setting (displayed by an A) allows the fan speed to adjust automatically to your humidity setting.

Note: On higher speeds, the Mini-Console 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.

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 Mini-Console is ready to use.

ABOUT THE CODES

• The F code means your unit is empty and needs to be FILLED with water.
• Your CONTROLS ARE LOCKED on the current setting. Activate the control lock by holding the power button for five seconds, until CL appears. Your Mini-Console 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.
• 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 wick. If your wick is still in good shape, simply clear the code by plugging your humidifier back in. If your wick needs replacing, follow these quick steps:

1. Remove the water bottle and top from the base.
2. Replace your old wick with a new MAF2 Super Wick®. Wrap the wick through the base guides in a circle so the wick’s ends meet.
3. Put the top and water bottle back on the base.

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR MINI-CONSOLE

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

1. Let the unit run until it’s empty, then turn it off and unplug it.
2. Remove the water bottle and the top from the base.
3. Throw your wick away if it is time to replace it. Otherwise, remove it from the base and put the wick in a sink while you finish cleaning your Mini-Console.
4. Pour out any remaining water from the base and bottle.
5. Clean the base and bottle by filling each half-full with water. Add 1 cup of white vinegar to each. Let these sit for 20 minutes. To disinfect, replace the vinegar with 1 teaspoon of bleach in each. Do not mix vinegar and bleach.
6. After 20 minutes, empty the base and bottle.
7. Dampen a sponge with white vinegar and wipe down the base. Rinse it thoroughly. To disinfect, replace the vinegar with bleach.
8. Wipe everything dry. Replace your wick or install a new one, then reassemble the unit.

When storing your Mini-Console, discard the used wick and disinfect the unit using the directions above. Dry the unit thoroughly, and store it in a temperature-regulated area. Do not install a new wick until you are ready to use your humidifier again. If you are missing any parts, or need replacement parts, call us at 800.547.3888 or visit our website aircareproducts.com.
