AIRCARE MAF2 Replacement Wicking Humidifier Filter Instruction Manual

Introduction

This manual provides essential information for the proper installation, operation, and maintenance of your AIRCARE MAF2 Replacement Wicking Humidifier Filter. Following these instructions will help ensure efficient humidification and prolong the life of your humidifier.

Setup and Installation

Proper installation of the MAF2 filter is crucial for effective humidification. Always ensure your humidifier is unplugged before beginning installation.

1. Prepare the Humidifier: Unplug the humidifier and remove the top cover and water reservoir(s). Empty any remaining water from the base.
2. Remove Old Filter: Carefully lift out the old wicking filter from the humidifier base. Dispose of the old filter according to local regulations.
3. Clean Humidifier Base: Clean the humidifier base thoroughly to remove any mineral deposits or residue. This helps prevent premature clogging of the new filter.
4. Install New Filter: Unpack the new AIRCARE MAF2 filter. The filter is designed with a honeycomb construction that expands to fit the humidifier's internal channels. Gently place the new filter into the designated area in the humidifier base, ensuring it sits securely and evenly.
5. Reassemble and Fill: Replace the humidifier top cover and water reservoir(s). Fill the reservoir(s) with clean water and place them back onto the humidifier base.
6. Power On: Plug in the humidifier and turn it on. The new filter will begin to absorb water and facilitate humidification.

Operating Instructions

The AIRCARE MAF2 filter works by absorbing water from the humidifier's reservoir and allowing air to pass through its moist surface. This evaporative process naturally adds moisture to the air without producing white dust.

• Ensure the humidifier is placed on a flat, water-resistant surface.
• Keep the water reservoir filled to the appropriate level. The filter will continuously wick water as needed.
• Monitor the humidity levels in your room using a hygrometer to ensure desired comfort.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance of your MAF2 filter and humidifier is essential for optimal performance and hygiene.

• Filter Lifespan: The MAF2 filter typically lasts 4 to 6 weeks, depending on water hardness and usage. Replace the filter when it becomes hard, discolored, or when humidification output decreases.
• Cleaning: While the filter itself is not designed for extensive cleaning, you can gently rinse it under cool water to remove loose mineral deposits. Avoid using detergents or harsh chemicals.
• Humidifier Cleaning: Clean the humidifier base and water reservoir weekly to prevent mineral buildup and bacterial growth. Use a mild disinfectant or a vinegar solution.
• Rotation: Some users find that flipping or rotating the filter periodically can help extend its life by promoting even water absorption.

Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your humidifier after installing the MAF2 filter, consider the following:

• Low Humidification Output:
  • Check if the filter is saturated with water. If it's dry or hard, it may need to be replaced.
  • Ensure the humidifier fan is operating correctly.
  • Verify that the water reservoir is adequately filled.
• Unpleasant Odor:
  • An odor can indicate bacterial growth. Clean the humidifier base and replace the filter.
  • Use a bacteriostatic treatment in your humidifier water to inhibit growth.
• White Dust: The MAF2 is a wicking filter designed to prevent white dust. If white dust appears, it may indicate an issue with the humidifier itself or the use of an incorrect filter type.
