Setup and Installation

1. Power Off: Before beginning, ensure your humidifier is unplugged from the power outlet to prevent electrical hazards.
2. Access Filter Compartment: Refer to your humidifier's original manual to locate and open the filter compartment. This typically involves removing the top cover or a specific access panel.
3. Remove Old Filter: Carefully remove the old, used humidifier filter. Dispose of it according to local waste disposal guidelines.
4. Unpack New Filter: Remove the new Pokin Humidifier Filter from its packaging.

6. Close Compartment: Securely close the filter compartment and reassemble any parts removed during the process.
7. Refill Water Tank: Fill the humidifier's water tank with clean, fresh water.
8. Restore Power: Plug the humidifier back into the power outlet.

Operating Guidelines

Once the new filter is installed, the humidifier is ready for operation. The filter's primary function is to absorb water from the reservoir and allow it to evaporate into the air, humidifying the room. For optimal performance:

• Initial Saturation: Allow the new filter to fully saturate with water for approximately 15-30 minutes before turning on the humidifier. This ensures efficient wicking from the start.
• Water Quality: Use clean, cool tap water. Distilled or demineralized water can help reduce mineral buildup on the filter, potentially extending its life.
• Regular Use: Operate your humidifier as needed to maintain desired humidity levels. The filter will continuously wick water as long as the humidifier is running and has water in its tank.

Maintenance and Replacement

Regular maintenance of your humidifier filter is crucial for efficient operation and healthy air quality. The Pokin Humidifier Filter is a consumable item and requires periodic replacement.

• Replacement Frequency: Filters should typically be replaced every 1 to 3 months, depending on water hardness, frequency of use, and air quality. Signs that a filter needs replacement include:
  • Reduced humidifier output (less mist or humidity).
  • Hardened or discolored filter material (e.g., brown, green, or white mineral buildup).
  • Unpleasant odors emanating from the humidifier.
• Cleaning: Do not attempt to wash or clean the filter. Cleaning can damage the wicking material and reduce its effectiveness. Replace with a new filter when necessary.
• Disposal: Dispose of used filters with regular household waste.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues after installing your new Pokin Humidifier Filter, consider the following:

• Humidifier Not Producing Humidity:
  • Ensure the filter is fully saturated with water. It may take some time for a new filter to become completely wet.
  • Check that the water tank is full and properly seated.
  • Verify the humidifier is powered on and set to an appropriate humidity level.
  • If the filter is old, it may be clogged with mineral deposits and require replacement.
• Unpleasant Odor from Humidifier:
  • This often indicates bacterial growth or mold on the filter or in the water tank. Replace the filter immediately.
  • Thoroughly clean the humidifier's water tank and base with a mild disinfectant solution before installing a new filter.
  • Ensure you are using fresh water daily and not letting water sit in the tank for extended periods.
• Filter Does Not Fit:
  • Double-check your humidifier model number against the compatibility listed for the Pokin filter (Essick Air 5D6-700 / 5D6700).
  • Ensure the filter is oriented correctly according to your humidifier's design.
