and

Pour some of this solution into the Base.

NOTES:
• The use of other water treatment products and chemicals may cause deterioration of the Filter or
damage the humidifier, thereby hindering the humidifier's effectiveness.
• If you are experiencing more buildup than when you first purchased your humidifier, you may
need to replace your Protec
™
Cleaning Cartridge. Changing your cartridge every 30 days will
provide continuous protection.
Your Protec
™
Cleaning Cartridge helps your humidifier stay cleaner longer and will help extend the life of
your Filter. However, you should still continue to clean your humidifier regularly as needed.
Cleaning involves two steps, SCALE REMOVAL and DISINFECTING.
Be sure to perform these in the proper order to avoid harmful chemical interactions.
• First, turn off and unplug the humidifier.
• Remove the Water Tanks and Motor Housing.
• Remove the Filter from the Base.
• Empty any water from the Base.
NOTE: REMOVE FILTER AND PROTEC
™
CLEANING CARTRIDGE BEFORE CLEANING.
Failure to remove Filter during cleaning will destroy the Filter.
The Protec
™
Cleaning Cartridge will last 30 days or longer, depending on
your usage. To install or replace your cartridge, simply remove it from its
special inlet located in the base of the unit (Fig. 15).
