When the humidity level drops below the set humidity, the humidifier will turn on automatically. 13) Turn humidifier ON, the humidity is regulated by using the HI/LO speed switch. AIR CARE® FILTERS The 5D6 700 has an optional two-stage air filter (#1050) that can be inserted into the top of the chassis which filters the air as it humidifies. The first stage of the air filter is a high-efficiency, electrostatically-charged filter media which traps dust, pollen and airborne pollutants. The second stage of the Air Care filter is an activated carbon media which absorbs odors from cooking, pets or tobacco smoke. We recommend replacing the Air Care filter at least once a year, more often if necessary. When the white filter media is coated with a layer of dust and dirt, it is time to replace the filter. The certified water output of your humidifier will be reduced when using the Air Care filter. The Air Care filters are optional and are not required for normal operation of the humidifier.
