Soak filter in a sink full of cool water to help break up the deposits. The discoloration may remain but it should not affect the humidifier's performance. If you notice a performance decrease or live in a hard water area you may have to replace your filter more regularly. Replace your filter (Model HC14). Visit the retailer you purchased your unit from or call 1-800-332-1110. Reset humidity to a lower level and/or reduce the output level. Relocate the unit If you have been using your humidifier for over 30 days chances are you need to replace the Protec™ cartridge. (Models: PC-1 or PC-2). Visit the retailer you purchased your unit from or call 1-800-331-1110. Clean your unit as directed in the Cleaning section. Regular cleaning is recommended to keep the unit functioning properly. The humidifier cycles on/off The humidifier is responding to your room humidity based on the humidistat setting. This is normal. Set the humidistat to a higher or lower desired setting.
