• DISINFECTING:
1. Fill the Tank with water and add 1 teaspoon
of household bleach. Pour some of this
solution into the Base.
2. Let the solution stand for 20 minutes.
3. Rinse with water until the smell of bleach is
gone.
NOTE: THE USE OF OTHER WATER TREAT-
MENT PRODUCTS, CHEMICALS, SOAPS,
DETERGENTS OR ABRASIVE CLEANSERS
NOT RECOMMENDED IN OUR WEBSITE OR
REFERENCED IN THIS MANUAL MAY CAUSE
DAMAGE TO THE HUMIDIFIER OR AFFECT
PERFORMANCE.
PROLONG THE LIFE OF YOUR FILTER
• Soak the Natural Cool Moisture
each time the humidifier is filled (see SET-UP).
• Never squeeze or wring-out the filter. Always
install a wet filter into the humidifier.
• Prevent mineral build-up by using DuraFree
water softener (AC-817) each time the Tank is
filled.
• AgION prevents the surface growth and migra-
tion of mold, fungus, algae and bacteria. It is
normal for the filter to discolor from mineral
build-up. Discoloration will vary depending on
water quality.
• The filter should be changed at least once per
season, or when the humidifier's performance
starts to deteriorate.
• Do not attempt to clean the filter with any chem-
ical solution. Doing so will damage the filter.
:

CARE AND STORAGE

• Follow WEEKLY CLEANING instructions when
the humidifier will not be used for a week or
more.
• Remove all water from the Base and Tank
before storing.
• Remove and throw the filter away at the end of
each season. Do not store the unit with a used
filter.
• Store in a cool, dry place.
• Clean the humidifier after prolonged storage
and install a new filter prior to use.

TROUBLESHOOTING

• The Fan is turning but I don't see any mist.
• Dry air is pulled through the humidifier filter
and the fan dispenses the invisible moisture.
There is no "mist" emitted. Monitor the
water level in the tank. If you notice a
decrease in the Water Tank over 24 hours,
then the unit is operating normally.
• The Fan is turning, but I don't notice the
water level in the Tank decreasing.
• First, check the Filter to make sure its wet.
If dry, then remove the Filter and soak it in
cool water and then reinstall it. You may
:
also want to note the current moisture level
in you home. If the humidity level is over
TM
60%, then the unit will not emit much mois-
Filter in water
ture since the air is already saturated.
• The humidifier is not running, but some of
the lights are on.
• The Moisture Level may be set too low. Set-
TM
ting the humidity level higher should restart
the unit. If the unit has a Refill light and its
on, then the unit is out of water. Refill and
install the Tank and the unit should start.
• The Moisture level is set according to the
manual, but the humidifier never seems to
turn back on.
• The Moisture Level may be set too low.
Adjust the Moisture Level to the highest set-
ting and the unit should restart. Reset the
Moisture Level following the instructions.
• The Moisture level is set according to the
manual, but the humidifier never seems to
turn off.
• The Moisture Level may be set too high.
Reset the Moisture Level following the
instructions.
• My filter has turned brown and rust colored.
Do I need a new filter?
• Probably not. Your filter has AgION technol-
ogy and the color change indicates only
mineral deposits. Soak the filter in a sink full
of cool water to help break-up the deposits.
The discoloration may remain but will not
affect the humidifier's performance.
