Troubleshooting (Continued) PROBLEM Humidity display is too high (Models HCM-6012, HCM6013) POSSIBLE CAUSE Moisture/condensation accumulated in the humidity sensor Unit is overfilled with water CORRECTIVE ACTION Turn off the unit and completely dry out the unit Drain the excess water from the base and completely dry out the unit Filter turns brown Filter may need to be replaced If you filter is light brown or rust colored after a short amount of time it's probably from mineral deposits. 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 Filter E/HC-14). Visit the retailer you purchased your unit from or call 1-800-477-0457.
