Operating Instructions
The AIRCARE 1041 wick filter works in conjunction with your humidifier's operating system. Ensure your humidifier's water tanks are filled to the appropriate level. The humidifier will automatically draw water through the wick to produce humidity. Adjust the humidity control and fan speed settings on your humidifier as per your comfort requirements. The humidifier is designed for manual operation, allowing you to set your desired humidity level.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance of your wick filter is crucial for efficient humidifier performance and air quality. The AIRCARE 1041 wick filter is designed to trap particulates and mineral deposits from the water.
- Replacement Frequency: It is recommended to replace the wick filter every 1 to 2 months, or at least once per season, depending on water quality and usage.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the wick for signs of mineral buildup or discoloration. A hardened or discolored wick indicates it's time for replacement.
- Humidifier Cleaning: Refer to your humidifier's manual for instructions on cleaning the water reservoir and other components to prevent mold or bacterial growth.

Troubleshooting
If your humidifier is not producing sufficient humidity or is experiencing issues, consider the following:
- Low Humidity Output: Check if the wick filter needs replacement. A clogged or old wick cannot absorb water efficiently. Ensure water tanks are full.
- Unusual Odors: Replace the wick filter and thoroughly clean the humidifier's water reservoir and components.
- Humidifier Not Turning On: Verify that the humidifier is properly plugged in and that the water tanks are correctly seated and filled, allowing the float mechanism to activate.
