Care And Maintenance; Removing Scale; Disinfecting Unit - Aircare H12 Serie Guía De Uso Y Cuidado

OPTIONAL AIRCARE
The air filter number model 1051 is an excellent means of cleaning the air while
using your humidifier. The first stage of the air filter is a high-efficiency,
electrostatically charged filter media which traps dust, pollen, and airborne
pollutants. The second stage is an activated carbon media which absorbs odors
from cooking, pets, and tobacco smoke.
We recommend replacing the AIRCARE
often if necessary. When the white filter media is coated with a layer of dust and
dirt, it is time to replace the air filter. The certified water output of your humidifier
will be reduced when using the air filter. The air filters are optional and are not
required for normal operation of the humidifier. The 1051 is available for purchase
by calling 1-800-547-3888.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CAUTION: Disconnect power before, cleaning or servicing unit. Keep grille dry at
all times.
Cleaning your humidifier regularly helps reduce odors and bacterial and fungal
growth. Ordinary household bleach is a good disinfectant and can be used to wipe
out the humidifier base and bottle/reservoir after cleaning. We recommend
cleaning your humidifier at least once every two weeks to maintain optimum
environmental conditions for your home.
We also recommend using AIRCARE
time you refill your humidifier to eliminate bacterial growth. Add bacteriostat
according to the instructions on the bottle. Please call 1-800-547-3888 to order
Bacteriostat Treatment (part # 1970).
