[. . . ] Line up the arrow on the bottom of the tank with the arrow on the cap. Double check that no water is coming from the tank cap or around the seal of the tank. IMPORTANT: To reduce the emission of minerals, it is recommended that the Water Purification Filter (Model Microban® UH325) be purchased. USING THE MIST VOLUME CONTROL Turn the mist volume knob clockwise as far as it will turn to achieve the highest mist setting. In this setting, the humidifier will run constantly, and produce the greatest amount of moisture. To lower your desired mist level, simply turn the knob counterclockwise to choose your setting. Depending on the size of your room and your personal comfort, you will set your mist volume control at different levels. If condensation forms on your windows or walls, or your measured room humidity reads above 50% by use of a hygrometer, turn off your humidifier, or lower your mist volume control level. Control Panel Symbols 0 = OFF II = HI I = LO CLEANING/MAINTENANCE USING A WATER PURIFICATION FILTER The Water Purification Filter (UH325) is used to retain minerals in your water and provide a clean moisture output. The filter life is determined by the average daily use of your humidifier and the water hardness in your area. Areas with hard water will require more frequent replacement of the filter. It is strongly recommended that the filter be replaced every 1-2 months (depending on use), or when white dust is emitted from the unit. Please refer to the enclosed Humidifier Accessory Card included with your humidifier. It is recommended that you order your replacement filter at once so you will have a fresh filter available when necessary. Re-install the Water Purification Filter (if being used) and replace the tank on the base. Partially fill the base with Holmes Cleanse CleanTM model S-1710 (available by calling 1-800-546-5637) as instructed on bottle, or with one 8 oz. Let solution stand 20 minutes, cleaning all interior surfaces with a soft brush. Dampen a cloth with undiluted white vinegar and wipe out entire base to remove scale. Rinse with clean warm water to remove the cleaning solution before beginning to disinfect the tank. Fill tank with 1/2 teaspoon of chlorine bleach and 1/2 gallon of water. Empty the tank after 20 minutes, and rinse well with water until the bleach smell is gone. Re-install the Water Purification Filter (if being used) into the base. Refill the water tank, place onto the base, plug in, and turn the power ON. TO USE A FILTER: 1. Remove the protective bag from the new filter and install the filter into the base (see fig.
