Setting Up Your Slant Fin Humidifier
Congratulations on purchasing your brand new Slant Fin humidifier!
You have taken the first step to ensuring that you and the members of your family are comfortable during the cold winter months as well as actively improving the quality of air that you and your family breathe within your home.
To set up your Slant Fin humidifier, find a place that is level and not slippery. Now, you are going to place your humidifier filter at the bottom of the water tank, and then proceed to fill up the water tanks of the humidifier.
Next, wipe away any excess water from around the Slant Fin humidifier. Now all you have to do is simply plug the power cord completely into the unit and into the wall and turn on the humidifier.
To start off, it is best to switch your humidifier to the LO mode. Next, turn the humidity knob to the desired level until you hear a faint click and the power light comes on. If your unit takes a few minutes to heat up and begin producing mist, don’t worry, this is completely normal.
When your Slant Fin humidifier needs to be refilled with water, the ‘refill water’ light will come on. How often will you need to fill your humidifier? Well, it all depends on how often you run the humidifier. For instance, a full tank of water will last approximately 3 days if it is constantly running.
In order to prevent damage, all Slant Fin humidifiers are designed to automatically stop heating or producing mist when the water levels are low and the heating element will shut off automatically once the unit has indicated that it needs more water.
Slant Fin Humidifier Absorption Pad Replacement Instructions
Now that you have a better understanding of how to set up and operate your new Slant Fin humidifier, it is also important that you understand exactly how and when to replace the absorption pad filters as well. As you may know, Slant Fin humidifiers do not expel white dust or more commonly known as filter dust.
This is a huge benefit for people who suffer from respiratory problems as well as keeping the furniture in your home protected. The design of a Slant Fin humidifier allows it to easily trap dust and debris in the unit’s filtration system.
On a side note, a Slant Fin humidifier is perfectly capable of operating without an mineral absorption filter bad, but keep in mind, if you do operate the unit this way, it will need to be cleaned a lot more frequently. If you do use a mineral pad, I highly suggest that you place the pad in warm water before you place in into the humidifier.
After you have placed it in warm water, use a pair of tongs or a pair of tweezers to correctly place the pad into its correct position. The life of the mineral pads will vary depending on how hard the water is that is being used with the humidifier unit.
A general rule of thumb to follow is that if you are using your Slant Fin humidifier constantly, you must change the absorption pads at the very least, once per month. The reason behind this is that the absorption pads become quite stiff toward the end of their life-cycle.
In fact, you may even notice that the existing pad exhibits a layer of salt deposit on them or a yellow color; if you notice this, it is time to replace the existing mineral absorption pad.
