4. Istruzioni per l'installazione

Follow these general steps to replace the humidifier filter. Always refer to your specific humidifier's instruction manual for detailed, model-specific instructions.

Spegnere e scollegare: Before beginning, ensure your humidifier is turned off and unplugged from the power outlet to prevent electrical hazards.
Disassemble Humidifier: Carefully remove the water tank and any other components necessary to access the filter compartment.
Rimuovi il vecchio filtro: Locate the old wicking filter. Gently lift it out of its housing. Dispose of the old filter responsibly.
Prepara nuovo filtro: Unpack the new ProTec PWF2AM filter. It is recommended to soak the new filter in cool water for 15-30 minutes before installation to ensure it is fully saturated. This helps with initial wicking performance.
Installa nuovo filtro: Place the saturated new filter into the filter compartment. Ensure it sits securely and correctly within its designated tray or slot. The filter should fit snugly to ensure proper air flow.
Rimontare l'umidificatore: Reattach all removed components, including the water tank. Ensure all parts are correctly aligned and secured.
Riempire il serbatoio dell'acqua: Fill the water tank with clean, cool water according to your humidifier's instructions.
Accensione: Plug the humidifier back into the power outlet and turn it on. The humidifier may take some time to reach full mist output as the new filter fully saturates.
