[. . . ] IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following: 1. Read all instructions before using the appliance. Keep the cord out of heavy traffic areas. To avoid fire hazard, NEVER put the cord under rugs or near heat registers. [. . . ] Allow up to 30 minutes for the filter to fully absorb water and the unit to produce the maximum moisture output. NOTE: We recommend the use of the hygrometer which reads the actual humidity level in your room. A humidity level below 20% can be unhealthy'and uncomfortable. The recommended humidity level is between 40% to 50%. When the water tank is empty and the water in the base is almost empty, you need to refill the tank. The fan will continue to run to help dry the humidifier. Filter CheckTM (located on the front of the housing near the grill) will let you know when the filter needs replacing. IMPORTANT: If you do not plan to use your humidifier for two or more days, make sure any residual water is drained from the water tank, base and wick filter to prevent any algae or bacteria growth in stagnant water. 4 gallons of water between the tank and the base and will produce up to 3 gallons of moisture over a 24-hour period, depending on the room humidity and temperature. REPLACING THE FILTERS Through normal use, water borne 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 CheckTM Indicator. When the unit is off, the Filter CheckTM Indicator will read in the OFF position. After 60 minutes of use, Filter CheckTM Indicator (refer to Figure 3 for close-up Figure 3 of indicator) will move from the OFF position and indicate your filter condition. A brand new filter will register in the blue section reading GOOD filter. After frequent use of your humidifier, the Filter CheckTM 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. Be sure the humidifier is switched OFF and disconnected from the electrical outlet. Discard the old filter and follow weekly cleaning instructions.
