This model is an evaporative humidifier, so it does not produce a visible mist.

We recommend changing the wick filter every 30-60 days. Your water may require more or less frequent changes - it all depends on the minerals in your water.

If your humidifier is full with water and the fill light is still displayed, this means your float rod has not been installed correctly. Check the position of your float rod, and make sure the top of the humidifier is flush with the base of the unit. The float rod should make a solid connection with the internal power switch - this looks like a small silver diving board.

The unit can be placed next to your air return or in a centralized location in your home. Wherever the humidifier is placed, the humidity will be more concentrated in that area, so place it where it will be more beneficial to those in your household.

Yes, this humidifier comes with your first MAF2 Super Wick so you can run your unit straight out of the box.

How often you fill your tank is based on the speed you run the humidifier on and whether your home already has a good amount of humidity. If the conditions are less than ideal, you may need to refill your bottle 2 – 3 times in a 24-hour period. Refill frequency will slow down once your home is properly humidified.

This model comes with a bottle that holds 1.2 gallons of water.

Even with the use of bacteriostat treatment, we recommend that you routinely clean your humidifier. An ideal regimen of cleaning is biweekly or monthly.

Invert the bottle. Press the valve stem button into the bottle and turn clockwise to lock in open position. Place bottle under the faucet, and then fill the bottle
