Filter Replacement; Operating Tips - Vornado EVAP3-EU Manual De Instrucciones

Filter Replacement

The Filters may accumulate minerals and other impurities that occur
naturally in any water supply. While your Humidifier came equipped
with two Filters, you will eventually have to replace them, as they
last approximately 4-8 weeks, depending on use. You will know the
Filter needs to be replaced when it becomes hard and is no longer
absorbing the water effectively. Replace the Filter with only a genuine
Vornado® brand Filter. While other brands may fit our units, these
filters do not carry the same quality and life as our own and can
diminish the Humidifier's performance.
Replacing The Filter
1. Turn the unit Off and unplug.
2. Remove Power Head.
3. Remove and discard used Filters.

4. Install new genuine Vornado Filters by making sure they are flush
against the sides of the unit and touching the bottom of the Base.
5. Replace Power Head. Your Humidifier is now ready for use.
There are several things to be aware of as your Vornado® Evaporative
Humidifier is operating:
† If you operate your Humidifier continuously, it may need to be
refilled with water every day. Simply look through the Water Tank to
be certain that there is adequate water supply for operation.
† Protect the Water Tank from damage. Any cracks or damage to the
Tank may cause it to leak water onto the floor or other surfaces.
† On first use, the Filters may give off a mild odor. The odor is not
harmful and will go away after the first few hours of operation. If the
odor is exceptionally strong, you can help eliminate most or all of it
by soaking the Filters for 20 to 30 minutes in a solution of 3.8 liters
of water to 2 teaspoons white vinegar. Rinse thoroughly.
If the Humidifier is turned Off, with water in the unit, and not
†
turned back on for 8 hours or longer, or if the unit is not cleaned
as recommended, you may experience some growth of algae or
bacteria. These microorganisms may become airborne. Thoroughly
clean the unit to eliminate any microorganisms.
† Allow for optimum airflow by keeping the grill unobstructed. Ensure
curtains and other items are far enough away from the unit to not
be pulled into the side inlets or interfere with airflow.
† We recommend you operate your Humidifier continuously. This
helps maintain humidity all day long, costs only pennies a day, and
will not harm the unit.

Operating Tips

Extending Filter Life
Many factors affect the life of the Filters - including amount of use,
water hardness, and outside environmental factors. Below are tips to
help extend the life of your Filter:
1. The additional sodium in chemically softened water may cause
Filters to harden or become mushy. Try using untreated or tap
water.
2. Hard water or water with excessive minerals such as lime or iron
may shorten Filter life. Try Bacteriostat or Water Treatment found
at most hardware or home specialty stores. Or periodically remove
the Filters and clean, by soaking them in cool tap water (enough to
cover the Filters) and two teaspoons of white vinegar. Let stand 20
minutes, then rinse in cool water. Allow excess water to run off and
dry before replacing them in the Base. DO NOT wring.
3. Leaving the Filters too long in a filled Humidifier without the fan
running may cause mold, mildew, and deterioration. If Humidifier is
filled, do not leave it off for more than eight hours.
