HIGH or LOW power light and the percent humidity light will remain
lit during operation (See Figure 2).
NOTE: Allow up to 30 minutes for the filter to fully absorb water
and for the unit to produce moisture.
NOTE: The 1 Touch™ Humidifier has memory. This means that when
you turn the unit back on, it will be at the last setting the humidifier was
set at. If you do not plan to use the humidifier for two or more days,
make sure any residual water is drained from the water tank, base
and wick filter to prevent algae or bacteria growth.
REPLACING THE FILTER
Through normal use, waterborne minerals and sediment become
trapped in the wick filter. The harder your water, the greater the
amount of minerals in the water, and the more often you will need
to change your filter. You will be able to monitor the life of the filter
in your humidifier by checking the Filter Check™ Indicator. When
the unit is off, the Filter Check™ Indicator will read in the OFF position.
After 60 minutes of use, Filter Check™
Indicator (refer to Figure 3 for close-up
of indicator) will move from the OFF
position and indicate your filter
condition. A brand new filter will register
in the section reading GOOD filter. After
frequent use of your humidifier, the Filter Check™ Indicator will let you
know when the filter needs to be changed. When the needle is in the
CHANGE section, this means the proper amount of moisture
is not getting into your air due to the excessive minerals and sediment
that have become trapped on your filter. At this point, you should
replace your filter. It is important to change your filter as indicated
to obtain stated performance level.
