REPLACING WICK

While your humidifier came equipped with a Wick, you will eventually have to replace it, as they last approximately 4–8 weeks, depending
on use. Many factors affect the life of the Wicks, including amount of use, water hardness and outside environmental factors. You will know
the Wick needs to be replaced when it becomes hard and is no longer absorbing the water effectively. Replace the Wick with a genuine
Vornado ® Wick. While other brands may fit our units, these wicks do not carry the same quality and life as our own and may diminish the
humidifier's performance.
REPLACING WICK
1. Turn humidifier Off and unplug.
2. Remove humidifier body from
base by lifting up.
3. Remove and discard used Wick.
4. Install new genuine Vornado
Wick by slightly bending the
Wick to match curve of unit.
Make sure Wick fits flush against
bottom and side of humidifier.
5. Replace humidifier body. Your
humidifier is now ready for use.

The additional sodium in chemically softened water may cause Wicks
to harden. Try using untreated or tap water. Hard water or water with
excessive minerals, such as lime or iron, may shorten Wick life. Try
Bacteriostat or Water Treatment found at most hardware or home
specialty stores or clean the Wick. See CLEANING for instructions.
On first use, the Wick 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 Wick in a solution of 2 teaspoons of white vinegar and
one gallon of water for 20–30 minutes. Rinse thoroughly in cool water.
Allow excess water to run off and dry before replacing in the Base.
DO NOT wring.

CLEANING

Proper cleaning of your Evaporative Whole Room Humidifier is essential
to the air quality and performance of your humidifier. The frequency in
which your humidifier will need to be cleaned will vary depending on use,
water hardness and outside environmental factors. It is recommended,
assuming average use, to thoroughly clean the unit several times
throughout the season, or when algae, mineral deposits or other particles
begin to form. Note: If the humidifier is turned Off with water in Base and
not turned back on for 8 hours or longer, or if humidifier is not cleaned as
recommended, you may experience some growth of algae or bacteria.
These microorganisms may become airborne.
