Introduction HOW DOES IT WORK? COOL MOISTURE SYSTEM: Dry air is pulled through the humidifier and the QuietCare™ fan blows out invisible, moisture-balanced air. Unwanted minerals and bacteria from the water are trapped inside the filter. When the unit is running you will not see or feel a "mist". You will know your humidifier is putting moisture into the air as you watch the water level in your tank decrease throughout the day. COMPLETE PROTECTION Your new QuietCare™ humidifier has double Protec™ Product Protection with the exclusive Protec™ Cleaning Cartridge and Protec™ treated filter. Protec™ Cleaning Cartridge: Your humidifier has been designed with the Protec™ Cleaning Cartridge which helps your unit to stay cleaner longer. This unique cartridge features an advanced patented media which continually inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria and mold in the cartridge as well as prevents the buildup of slime in your humidifier. In addition, the Protec™ cartridge provides peace of mind that the mist is fresh and clean. Protec™ Antimicrobial Treated Filter: Your filter has been treated with Protec™ antimicrobial which helps prevent surface growth and migration of mold, fungus and bacteria in the filter for it's life - approximately one season. Keep in mind, depending on your water quality, mineral deposits can still clog or discolor the filter, affecting its life and that of the humidifier. Your humidifier is made up of these parts: Water Tank Motor Housing Protec™ Cleaning Cartridge Holder Fill Cap Filter Base 3
