REPLACING WICK
Part # MD1-0034
While your humidier came equipped with a Wick, you will eventually have to replace it, as they last approximately 4–8 weeks, depending on use. Many
factors affect the life of the Wicks, including amount of use, water hardness and outside environmental factors. You will know the Wick needs to be
replaced when it becomes hard and is no longer absorbing the water effectively. Replace the Wick with a genuine Vornado
®
Wick. While other brands
may t our units, these wicks do not carry the same quality and life as our own and may diminish the humidier’s performance.
The additional sodium in chemically softened water may cause Wicks
to harden. Try using untreated or tap water. Hard water or water with
excessive minerals, such as lime or iron, may shorten Wick life. Try
Bacteriostat or Water Treatment found at most hardware or home
specialty stores.
On rst use, the Wick may give off a mild odor. The odor is not harmful
and will go away after the rst few hours of operation. If the odor is
exceptionally strong, you can help eliminate most or all of it by soaking
the Wick in a solution of 2 teaspoons of white vinegar and one gallon
of water for 20–30 minutes. Rinse thoroughly in cool water. Allow excess
water to run off and dry before replacing in the Base. DO NOT wring.
