Filter turns brown Filter may need to be replaced If you filter is light brown or rust colored after a
short amount of time it's probably from mineral
deposits. Soak filter in a sink full of cool water
to help break up the deposits. The
discoloration may remain but it should not
affect the humidifier's performance. If you
notice a performance decrease or live in a hard
water area you may have to replace your filter
more regularly. Replace your filter (Model HC-

from or call 1-800-477-0457.
