1. Unplug humidifier. Before removing the filter,
we recommend moving the humidifier to an
area where floor coverings are not susceptible
to water damage. (i.e. kitchen or bath areas.)
2. Remove the water bottle and set aside. Be sure
not to bump or damage the fill valve.
3. Grasp the housing assembly and lift straight up
and away from the base and set aside. The
filter is now accessible.
,
Take note of the filter position. Remove the
filter. You may want to clean the base at this
time. See the "Cleaning Your Humidifier"
section of this manual.
5. Install a new filter (32-14906) into the base.
Coil the filter and position it between the
uprights in the bottom of the base. The start
and finish of the coil should be captured at the
center of the base (see diagram) and the filter
should be resting on the floor of the base.
6. Return the housing assembly to the top of the
base. Reposition the humidifier to its operating
position.
7. The humidifier is now ready to be filled for
operation.
