tive humidity in your home is below the humidistat
setting and will turn the humidifier off when the re-
lative humidity reaches the humidistat setting. For
initial operation, set the humidistat at its midpoint
"two-droplet" setting and adjust up or down from
there to achieve the desired humidity level.
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 recommend re-
placing the AirCare filter at least once a year and more
often if necessary. When the white filter media is coa-
ted 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 fil-
ter. AirCare filters are optional and are not required for
normal operation of the humidifier.

05. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning your humidifier regularly helps eliminate
odors and bacterial and fungal growth. Ordinary hou-
sehold bleach is a good disinfectant and can be used
to wipe out the humidifier base and bottle/reservoir
after cleaning. We recommend cleaning your humidi-
fier at least once every two weeks to maintain opti-
mum 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.
REMOVING SCALE
4. Empty the water from the reservoir and water bot-
tle. Fill both reservoir and water bottle ½ full with
water and add 8 oz. (1 cup) of undiluted vinegar to
each. Let stand 20 minutes. Then empty solution.
5. Dampen a soft cloth with undiluted white vinegar
and wipe out reservoir to remove scale. Rinse the
water bottle and reservoir thoroughly with fresh
water to remove scale and cleaning solution before
disinfecting.
DISINFECTING UNIT
6. Fill the water bottle and reservoir ½ full with water
and add 1 teaspoon of bleach to each. Wet all sur
faces on water bottle and cabinet. Let solution stay
for 20 minutes, then rinse with water until bleach
smell is gone. Dry with clean cloth. The outside of
the unit and water bottle may be wiped down with a
soft cloth dampened with fresh water.
