Check Fi_ter Indicator
The ability of any humidifier to efficiently supply humidity output reIies heavily on the condition of the filter.As the filter loads with trapped
impurities found in water it gradually loses its
wicking capability. When tNs happens moisture output is red_._cedand the humidifier has
to work longer to satisfy the selected setting.
When such a condition occurs, a flashing
"CHECK FILTER" message wilt be displayed.
If the condition persists for more then 24 hours
shut off the humidifier, disconnect the power
and check the condition of the filter.
