Seasonal changes and your local climate greatly affect your home's humidity. For a comfortable and healthy home, aim for a humidity level between 30-50%.

• When the air in your home is too moist, it can feel hot and sticky, and it can worsen health conditions like asthma and allergies, making it more difficult to breathe.

• On the other hand, when the air is too dry, you might notice dry skin, an irritated throat, or itchy eyes. Low humidity can also damage wood floors and furniture, causing them to warp or crack.

  • Dry: <30%

  • Ideal: 30-50%

  • Moist: >50%

An evaporative humidifier uses a fan to blow air through a moistened wick filter, causing water to evaporate into the air and increase humidity.

Important! Turn the humidifier off and disconnect from the power supply before maintenance.

When your humidifier's indicator light turns red, it's time to change the wick filter.

Your Blueair humidifier is safe to use with clean water of your choice, including tap. It is recommended that the water tank be cleaned weakly to ensure proper operation. After refilling press any button to restart.

Option 1: Top Pour (Recommended)

• Turn the device to standby/off
• Carefully pour water straight down the top grill, avoiding the waterproof display
• note: Do not fill past the max fill line
• Before filling the water from the top, ensure the fan is not running.

Option 2: Bucket Fill

• Remove the water tank and flip up the handle allowing you to carry it to a faucet.
• Take off the upper body of the humidifier as well as the wick filter to access the bottom tank
• Note: Do not fill past the max fill line as marked on the water tank

The wick filter should be replaced every 6 months. It should be cleaned weekly when in use according to the instructions in the user manual to maintain optimal performance.

Important! When the wick filter is replaced, the Filter Expire Indicator must also be reset. To reset your Filter Expire Indicator:

1. Extra long-press the fan speed button for about 15 seconds until LEDs on the interface light up, then release.
2. If done correctly, the wick filter replacement indicator will blink three times and then disappear.

Humidity levels can vary within the same room due to several factors. One primary reason is the distribution of air flow. Areas closer to air vents, windows, or doors might experience different humidity levels compared to more central parts of the room. This is because air circulation can cause uneven distribution of moisture.

Another factor is the presence of moisture sources. For example, the placement of the humidifier itself or a water source like a sink or plants in one part of the room might drive higher humidity levels compared to other parts of the room.
Lastly, the type and placement of humidity measuring devices can affect readings.

Different devices might have varying levels of accuracy, and their placement can influence the readings they provide. For instance, a device placed near a window might show different humidity levels compared to one placed in the centre of the room.

• The wick filter may develop a white or yellow buildup after some use. Mineral deposits and other debris, that originated in the water used to fill the humidifier, that have been trapped by the wick filter cause this buildup and staining.

• To clean, remove the wick filter from the filter cage and rinse under running water. For a deeper clean, soak with mild or citric acid cleanser, 20g citric acid for every 1L of water for 1 hour, then rinse well under running tap water according to the instructions in the user manual.

Ensure that the room the humidifier is operating in is appropriately sized for the device's capacity, ensure doors and windows are closed, and verify the hydrometer is working correctly.

If your device is set to Auto Mode, the target humidity level may have already been reached. Increase the target humidity level or exit Auto mode and use manual operation by selecting a Fan Speed.

If the water is at the max fill line prior to installing the pump, the slight displacement cause by inserting the pump will not cause an issue.
