Is the humidifier inside ready to go? Or do I need to soak it initially?

It's ready to go, just pill off the sticky pad and place it on the top of the box lid.

The humidifier does need to be "installed." Just peel of the adhesive cover and stick it to the inner lid and you're ready to go!

The instructions say you should & I did. I used soap & water & let mine soak for a few hours. I also used some lemon peels, sea salt & oil to prepare it for my first use. Cleaned that out, & I love mine!

Yes. I just roll it over to the sink, which has a pull-out head. (You could use a bucket, too.) It's SO EASY to fill, compared to those heavy water tanks on most humidifiers. Some of them ever require you to lift the heavy tank and turn it over before fitting it back into the unit. And, if the tank ISN'T heavy, it probably doesn't hold enough water to do an adequate job for 24 hours.

I would recommend getting a humidifier with a better handle, the handle on this is very poor and they don't recommend using it to hold the water tank. The tank can be slippery when wet. I dropped mine trying to fill it and the water tank shattered, and I'm no where near 80 years old.

on my particular humidifier, the fan portion lifts up exposing the filter. the filter is then picked up out of a pan and you will replace it with a new one in the same spot. The filter will be wet when you pull it so be careful not to drip on floors that you may not want wet. Good luck

Mine has started to do this as well. I usually try to take the tanks off and clean the unit with warm water and try to remove any dust or dirt from the filter. It also depends where the humidifier is located. It should be on an inside wall

Where is the humidifier located? Is it in a location with humidity from a washer? It may be the gasket. Make sure it's not crimped or damaged. They are inexpensive to replace.

It's quite simple: you just lift the tank and rinse out the base with cold water (be careful not to get water into the spout). The specs recommend that you disinfect with vinegar every week, but we do it about once a month or so with no adverse effects. The daily (or once every two days) rinse is important though, without that you'll get mineral depositing. What I really like about the humidifier (besides the quiet operation) is that there is no filter. Those things get really dirty really fast because they suck up dust, etc from the air. Instead, the atomizer gives you a cool clean visible mist.

According to the directions in the instruction booklet, you must not use any drops or anything other than clean water in the humidifier. You also must not stick something in the opening where the mist comes out.

The manual recommends partially filling the base with 8oz of undiluted white vinegar and letting it soak for 20min. You could also try a cap full of humidifier bacteriostat with a full tank of water, then running the unit.

Thanks. How do u like it so far. It seems rather expensive if u have to replace a wick every couple of weeks. Would you recommend this humidifie? And thank you for the information.

You should fill the Humidifying device till you can see the liquid under the screen, Then you should dump out the excess and shake out any drop from the device. After it is drip free, re-install in the humidor and you are ready to go!

Yes, there is plenty room for that. I thought I would do the same however, I really haven't felt the need for the humidifier.

Make sure the seal is tightened all the way; I purchased 2 humidifiers with no issues.

I change mine every 2 to three months. Look at the filter opening,gaze inside see if it is discolored or full of dust or hair .. If it is you are due.Also if the filter grill is full of dust, the inside is going to contaminated.Keep dust down around the humidifier as it will suck it in like a vaccum cleaner. I never try to clean a filter. At 5 bucks from lasco its not worth the bother.If you do try to clean it ,it may fall apart or distort. Keep the plastic holders that are around the filter as these will not come with the new filter..

The right button if you hold it down should turn on humidifier. It will sound like a fan is kicking on and a mist will come out of top. The left is to turn on and off the lights. No I don't believe that it de-humidifies.
