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. AIR WASHING PRE FILTER: The Filter in your humidifier also includes a specially formulated "pre-filter" which helps capture some dust, dirt, pollen and other small particles that pass through the filter. Protec™ Treated Filter: Your filter has been treated with Protec™ which helps prevent surface growth and migration of mold, mildew, algae, fungus and odor-causing bacteria in the filter for its life - approximately 1-3 months**. 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. **The agent contained in this product is intended to prolong filter life only by inhibiting the growth of unsightly mold, mildew and algae, as well as controlling odor from odor-causing bacteria. The filter does not protect users or others against bacteria, viruses, germs or other disease-causing organisms. Always follow the humidifier manufacturer's instructions regarding cleaning, maintenance and servicing of your humidifier. 3
