REPLACING THE WICK 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 2 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.
To replace the filter, follow the steps below.
1. Be sure the humidifier is switched OFF and disconnected
from the electrical outlet.
2. Remove the tank and main housing to access the base tray.
3. Discard the old filter and follow weekly cleaning instructions.
4. Insert a new filter into the filter support in the base.
5. Replace the main housing and then the tank.
6. Repeat Operating Instruction steps.
It will take about 30 minutes for the humidifier to reach maximum
output. You can obtain a new filter by calling 1-800-253-2764 in
the USA or Canada or by visiting your nearest retailer or authorized
service center. This humidifier takes model BWF65 replacement filter.
