Answer
You can clean the grille with a cotton swab or
pipe cleaner, gently inserting between the grille
slots.
See page 8 of your owners manual.
It is not recommended that you use dish soap to
clean your humidifier as it is very hard to remove
all the soap and this could cause damage to your
humidifier.
You should only add water treatments to your
humidifier that are specifically made for
evaporative humidifiers such as the Protec
Cleaning Cartridge, model PC-1 or PC-2. Using
water treatments that are not recommended for
evaporative humidifiers could damage your hu-
midifier. If you are concerned about hard water
it is recommended you use distilled water in your
humidifier.
Answer
You should run your humidifier on the highest
setting if your room is very dry. Once you are at a
more comfortable humidity you can turn your output
setting to the low setting.
It may take a few days for your humidity to increase.
Wood, rugs and other objects in your room will
absorb moisture before you can feel the effects if it
is extremely dry. You should also run your humidifier
with the door closed to the room.
No, your humidifier will not operate properly without
the filter. The filter absorbs the moisture distributed
by the water flow channel. A quiet fan then blows
through the filter distributing moisture into the air.
In general the wicking filter will last 1-2 months
depending on water quality and usage. See Filter
Replacement section for information on how to
determine when it is time to change the filter.
