GETTING TO KNOW YOUR COOL MIST HUMIDIFIER

How it Works
Water is released from the Water Tank into the Reservoir. A Nebulizer vibrates at ultrasonic frequency, breaking the water into a fine mist. The mist is quietly propelled by a fan up a vertical Mist Chamber to the Mist Outlet where the cool, visible mist enters the room. This humidifier will shut off when the water level is low or when the Tank is removed from the Base.

SETTING UP YOUR HUMIDIFIER

Unpack the Humidifier

• Keep this Owner’s Manual for reference
• Remove packaging materials. Locate Float Paddle and set aside. This is required for operation.
• Remove twist tie and extend power cord. Plug Adapter Cord into the port on the back of the unit. Place on a firm, level, water resistant surface a minimum of 12 inches (30 cm) from walls.

FLOAT PADDLE INSTALLATION – REQUIRED FOR HUMIDIFIER TO OPERATE

• This humidifier uses a float system to regulate the water flow from the Tank to the Reservoir. The Float Paddle must be properly installed for the unit to operate. If not properly installed, water may not flow into the Reservoir or it may leak from the Base. The Float Paddle is designed to be easy to install and remove.

1. Remove Water Tank.

2. Line up Float Paddle with the dashed line float paddle shape on the bottom of the Reservoir. Place paddle over brackets. The paddle can be gently placed in the brackets.
   It does NOT snap-in, rather is simply set in place.

3. Replace Tank in Base.

CAUTION: IMPROPER PLACEMENT OF THE FLOAT PADDLE COULD RESULT IN LEAKING OR WATER NOT FEEDING INTO THE RESERVOIR.

Hard Water and White Dust

• High mineral content in your water, also known as hard water, may cause a white mineral residue to accumulate on surfaces in the room near the humidifier. This mineral residue is commonly referred to as white dust. The higher the mineral content (hardness) of your water, the greater the potential that an ultrasonic humidifier may produce white dust.
• White dust is not a result of a defect or flaw in the humidifier. It is a result of the amount of minerals suspended in the water you are using.
• To reduce white dust, use distilled water or the HDC500 Demineralization Cartridge (HDC500CV1 in Canada) available through Consumer Relations; see back of this manual.

FILLING / REFILLING

NOTE: You have two options for filling your humidifier’s Water Tank: under the faucet at the sink, or with a pitcher of water at the humidifier.
Manufacturer and Distributor will not accept responsibility for property damage caused by water spillage. HUL585/HUL588 holds 1.25 gallons (4.7L) of water (tank and reservoir combined).
Filling

1. If filling at the sink, remove Tank using handle inside tank, carry to sink and fill with cool water. OR
2. If filling at the humidifier, ensure Tank is securely seated on Base. Open Tank lid and fill with cool water using a water pitcher.
   • NOTE: Fill Tank with cool water. DO NOT fill with warm or hot water. DO NOT ADD ESSENTIAL OILS, MEDICATIONS, OR INHALANT LIQUIDS, such as Vicks VapoSteam, to the Tank. Doing so could cause damage to the humidifier and void the warranty.
3. If filled at the sink, carry the full Tank back and place back on Base.
4. Close the Tank lid.

USING YOUR HUMIDIFIER (HUL585 ONLY)

1. Power: Plug Adapter Cord into the port on the back of the unit.
   • With the Power Knob in the off position, plug humidifier into a 120V outlet.
2. CAUTION: TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT PLUG HUMIDIFIER INTO AN OUTLET WITH WET HANDS. 2. Output: Turn the Power Knob clockwise to highest setting. It is recommended you set the output to high until you reach a comfortable humidity level.
3. Position humidifier to direct mist output away from walls, furniture and bedding.
4. Humidity Level: When a comfortable humidity level is reached, turn Power Knob to a lower setting. A comfortable humidity level is between 40-60%. To monitor your humidity level, use a humidity monitor such as the Honeywell HHM10 model, or H10CV1 in Canada (Not included).

USING YOUR HUMIDIFIER (HUL588 ONLY)

CONDENSATION: If you notice condensation on the walls, windows or around unit, your humidity level is too high. Turn humidifier off. Open doors to the room or turn off humidifier until humidity level drops.

1. Power: Press the Power icon ( ) – to turn on. The unit will default to high output, continuous humidity setting when first plugged in. Press again to turn off. If humidifier was programmed before turning off, previous settings will be remembered. Unplugging the humidifier resets to default settings.
   When unit runs out of water the Power icon will turn orange and the humidifier will turn off. Refill the Water
   Tank and replace on Base to resume operation.

2. Mist Output: Press the Mist Output icon – ( ) – to toggle between low, medium, and high mist level settings.
   A higher setting will deliver mist into the room at a higher rate. The water level in the Water Tank will decrease faster on a higher setting since more moisture is going into the air. A lower setting will provide less moisture output and run longer before the Water Tank needs to be refilled.

3. Humidistat: The humidifier features a humidistat with 5 levels. Press the Humidity Control icon – ( ) – to select a humidity level. The settings are approximately 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% and 70% Relative Humidity (RH). When a humidity level is set, the humidifier will turn on and off to maintain the set humidity level. To override the humidistat and run on continuous mode, press the Humidity Control icon – ( ) – until no levels are selected. A comfortable humidity level is between 40-60%. Consider using a humidity monitor to display current room humidity and temperature.

4. Humidity Reached: When the set humidity level is reached, the green Humidity Reached icon – ( ) – will illuminate and the mist will turn off. As long as this light is illuminated, the humidifier will not produce mist. Once the humidity level drops below the set humidity level, the green light will turn off and the humidifier will start running again. To increase the set humidity level, press the Humidity Control icon – ( ) – to increase the set humidity level.

Way Mist Outlet
This humidifier features a 2-Way Mist Outlet that allows you to direct mist in two directions. Positioning both openings in the same direction results in a strong mist plume into the room. Separating the mist outlets allows for pointing the mist in two directions for wider distribution.

Using The Essential Oil Tray

• This humidifier features an Essential Oil Tray that can be used with your favorite essential oil for added enjoyment.
• This is not a diffuser – the oil does not come in contact with water and is passively evaporated into the air.
• Essential oils are not included.

1. Push and release the tray to open.
2. Add a few drops of essential oil to the Pad.
   • WARNING: DO NOT POUR ANY LIQUIDS INTO THE MIST OUTLET. DO NOT ADD LIQUID INHALANTS, ESSENTIAL OILS OR ANY ADDITIVES TO THE WATER TANK. DOING SO CAN HAVE ADVERSE EFFECTS ON THE HUMIDIFIER AND VOID THE WARRANTY.
3. To clean the Essential Oil Tray, gently wipe residue from the Tray. Replacement essential oil pads can be ordered through Consumer Relations; see back of this manual.

Using The Demineralization Cartridge (not included):

This humidifier has been designed to be used with the HDC500 Demineralization Cartridge, model HDC500CV1 in Canada. In hard water areas, use of distilled water or a demineralization cartridge with tap water will help minimize the production of white dust. Cartridges can be ordered through Consumer Relations; see back of this manual.

Daily Maintenance

For best results, use fresh, clean water every day.

CLEANING YOUR HUMIDIFIER

To keep your humidifier running efficiently, clean it regularly. Weekly cleaning is recommended. All maintenance should be done in the kitchen or bathroom on a water resistant surface near a faucet.
To properly clean your humidifier, we recommend the separate processes of Scale Removal and Disinfecting. These two processes must be performed separately.
Before Cleaning

1. Turn off and unplug humidifier. Never clean the humidifier when it is running.
2. Remove Water Tank and empty completely. Remove any accessories from the water tank.

We recommend changing water and airing out between uses.

Scale Removal (Mineral Buildup)
Follow steps 1-2 in Before Cleaning section, then follow the additional steps below.

1. Pour a minimum of 1 cup (1/4 liter) of undiluted distilled white vinegar in the Water Tank. Gently swish vinegar around in the Tank to wet entire inside of Tank.

2. Place Tank on Base. Vinegar will drain into the Water Reservoir and loosen mineral buildup (scale) in the
   Reservoir and bottom of the Water Tank. There should be enough vinegar to cover the bottom inside of the Tank.

3. Soak for 20 minutes, then remove Water Tank and slowly empty vinegar into sink. Rinse with tap water until the smell of vinegar is gone.

4. Empty vinegar from Base and Reservoir area; rinse with water until the smell of vinegar is gone.

5. Remove Float Paddle from Reservoir by lifting up on Float Rod and set aside. Use a soft cloth or the included Cleaning Brush to gently clean Nebulizer, and all areas in the Reservoir.
   NOTE: Nebulizer is fragile. DO NOT apply extreme pressure. Wipe Float Paddle with a soft cloth to remove loosened minerals.

6. Place Float Paddle back in Reservoir. Position in place. For detailed instructions, refer to the Float Paddle Installation section.

CAUTION: DO NOT SUBMERGE BASE IN WATER. DOING SO WILL DAMAGE THE HUMIDIFIER AND VOID THE WARRANTY.

Disinfecting
Before starting the disinfecting process, follow Steps 1-2 in the Before Cleaning section.

NOTE: Bleach may stain clothes. It is recommended to wear rubber gloves during this process to protect your hands.

1. Add 1 teaspoon (5mL) of bleach to 1 gallon (3.8L) of water. Pour the bleach solution into the Tank.
   • Note: Using more than 1 teaspoon of bleach to 1 gallon (3.8L) of water may result in damage to the humidifier.
2. Place Tank on Base. Bleach solution will drain into the Water Reservoir.
3. Soak for 20 minutes, then remove the Water Tank and slowly empty bleach solution into sink. Rinse Tank with tap water until the smell of bleach is gone.
4. Empty bleach solution from Base and Reservoir area; rinse with water until the smell of bleach is gone.
5. Remove Float Paddle from Reservoir and rinse.
6. Place Float Paddle back in Reservoir. Position in place. For detailed instructions, refer to the Float Paddle Installation section.

CAUTION: IMPROPER PLACEMENT OF THE FLOAT PADDLE COULD COULD RESULT IN LEAKING OR WATER NOT FEEDING TO THE RESERVOIR.
