a. Open the filter door on the back of the device.
b. Remove the humidifier connector tube from the back of the filter door and replace the filter
door.
c. Fill the humidifier with water following the manufacturer's instructions.
d. Mount the filled humidifier on the top of the EverFlo device inside the velcro strap.
