Mineral Absorption Pad Instructions
CAUTION: HOT SURFACES MAY CAUSE SEVERE BURNS.
DO NOT TOUCH ANY SURFACES UNTIL THEY HAVE COOLED.
Water contains minerals and other particles. The amount of minerals varies dependent on your local water
supply. It is common for these minerals to stick to your humidifier's Heating Plate and in turn decrease the
performance of your humidifier. Mineral Absorption Pads trap the minerals and help prevent stubborn
mineral buildup on your Heating Plate.
• Before starting your humidifier, place one Mineral Absorption Pad flat on the Heating Plate. After the
humidifier has been operating, the water and all internal parts will become HOT, and caution should be
exercised when handling the Mineral Absorption Pad. Please allow the humidifier water and all internal
parts to cool down (at least 10-15 minutes). Use tongs or long tweezers when handling the pad to
prevent burns.
• The life of the Mineral Absorption Pad will vary, depending on the mineral content of the water being
used. Using normal/moderate mineral content water the Mineral Absorption Pad should be changed
after approximately 2 weeks of continuous use. Again, the life of the pad will vary dependent on your
usage and mineral content of your water.
• For indications that your Mineral Absorption Pad needs to be changed, examine it AFTER the water has
cooled down to see if it is still soft and pliable. If the pad is stiff and hard you should replace it. Another
sign that indicates your Mineral Absorption Pad must be changed is scale buildup on your heating plate.
Filling
• Remove the Water Tank by grasping handle and pulling straight
up. Set aside (Fig. 1).
• Turn the Water Tank upside down so that the Fill Cap is facing
up; unscrew the Fill Cap by turning it counter-clockwise
set aside.
• Fill the Water Tank with COOL tap water (Fig. 5). DO NOT USE HOT
WATER. Doing so may damage the humidifier.
• Distilled water is not necessary but should be considered in hard
water areas to prevent mineral build-up.
• Replace the fill cap by turning it clockwise
DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN. Turn the Water Tank right-side up.
NOTE: Do not add any medication or other additives to water.
NOTE: When carrying the filled Water Tank, please use the
handle and place your other hand under the tank for additional
support.
• Position the Water Tank in the humidifier and push into place
(Fig. 6).
• Some water will flow into the Removable Tray when the filled
Water Tank is properly in place.
• Once the filled Water Tank has been positioned, do not attempt to
move the humidifier. To avoid leaking, you should never move the
humidifier while filled with water.
CAUTION: Do not pour water into the grille on the top of
the humidifier. Doing so may damage the humidifier or
cause personal injury.
