Operating; Filter Care - Vicks VEV400 Serie Guide D'utilisation Et D'entretien

Operating

2.
Turn the Power Knob to high ( ) or low ( ) setting.
High ( ) setting will provide quicker moisture output. The fan will push more moisture off the
Wicking Filter and into the air. The water level will go down faster than on the low ( ) setting
since more moisture is going into the air.
Low ( ) will provide less moisture output. The fan will run quieter and the Water Tank will not
have to be filled as frequently since less moisture is going into the air.
3.
When the Tank is empty, turn off the humidifier and refill it. NOTE: If the humidifier will not be
used for more than a few days, empty the water from the Water Tank and Removable Tray and
dry out the filter to prevent growth of bacteria or mold.
NOTE: While the humidifier is operating, you will hear the fan running but will NOT see the
moisture output. This is normal for an evaporative humidifier. To check the humidity level in the
room, use a humidity monitor like the Vicks V70 or V70-CAN, available at retailers or online at
www.vickshumidifiers.com.
You may hear a gurgling sound. This is the water flowing from the Water Tank into the Removable
Tray and indicates your humidifier is working properly.

Filter Care

It is recommended you change your Wicking Filter every 30-60 days
depending on water quality and usage. If you have hard water you may
need to replace your filter more frequently.
Change your filter if you notice:
• The filter is hard and crusty
• The filter starts to give off an odor
• Moisture output is decreased
Be sure to only use Protec Replacement filters. This humidifier takes Protec PWF2
Replacement Filter. The filter is antimicrobially treated and helps prevent the growth
and migration of mold, algae and bacteria on the filter.
To prolong the life of your Wicking Filter, turn it over each time you fill the Water
Tank. This will keep the top of the filter from drying out and will help the filter to age
more evenly.
If you notice the filter getting hard, you may soak the Wicking Filter in cool water to loosen mineral
buildup. This will temporarily improve the performance until a replacement filter is purchased.
DO NOT attempt to clean the Wicking Filter with vinegar or any chemical solutions. Doing so may
damage the Filter.
NOTE: Running the humidifier without water in the Tank or Removable Tray will help dry out Wicking
Filter quickly for short term storage.
Protec antimicrobial layers in the Wicking Filter help to prevent growth of mold on the filter. However,
the filter still needs to be replaced regularly. Humidifier filters and accessories require replacement
and are not covered under warranty.
Caring For Your Humidifier
To keep your humidifier running efficiently, clean it regularly. Weekly cleaning is recommended.
All maintenance should be done in the kitchen or bathroom on a water resistant surface
near a faucet.
To properly clean your humidifier we recommend the separate processes of Scale
Removal and Disinfecting. These two processes must be done separately.
