PREPARATION BEFORE USE

Unpacking your humidifier

• Unpack the device from the packaging.
• Remove the adhesive tape, unlock the top cover with a small coin and take out all the transit packaging materials from inside the device.
• Completely unravel the power cord, so as not to damage it.

LOCATING YOUR HUMIDIFIER:

For best results we recommend you locate your device in the middle of a room. Do not place the humidifier near furniture, paintings or any other object which could suffer damage from the moisture.

CONNECTING TO POWER SUPPLY:

• Before using the humidifier, extend the cord completely and inspect for any signs of damage.
• Plug the unit into the power socket (230Volt-50 Hz 10Amps).
• Humidifier consumption does not exceed 0.5 Amps (110Wh)

HOW IT WORKS

This humidifier is designed to increase the room humidity up to a specified level. Two major systems are employed:

1. Air flow system, which uses an asynchronous motor and axial flow fan to drive the air through the evaporative pads and blow a certain amount of humid air into the room.
2. Water wheel, which holds the evaporative pads onto the drum, which is driven by a synchronous motor and gear mechanism. The pads deliver water from the water tank through the drum rotation and the fan removes certain moisture from the sponge by the principle of evaporation.
   Important: Before switching on the device, ensure that the water wheel snaps into the bearings at both ends correctly, to ensure the correct movement of the water wheel

FILLING THE WATER

Lift up the water inlet cover. Fill the water into the tank through the water inlet tube . Once the water reaches the max level, there will be a 10sec audible alarm and the green light will illuminate. When you fill the water with the unit unplugged from the electric socket, please check the “MAX” water level indicator through the overflow connector cap located at the left of the backside of the water tank. You can also fill water directly into the tank by removing the tank as follows:

1. Unlock/open the top cover and remove the water wheel.
2. Unlock the tank, and slide it out . Important: In order to avoid the risk of electric shock, unplug the device during filling and cleaning, and take care not to spill water on the control panel and wiring inside the device..

DIRECT WATERCONNECTION

Using a direct water connector is convenient for continuous supply of water to your humidifier. The tank has a built-in float and valve system to control the water supply. Before use please read these instructions carefully.
Please connect the hose tightly onto the connector at the back of the tank using a 25.4mm female screw nut. Connect the other end of the hose to your water tap. Note: The tank is equipped with an overflow protection. In the unlikely event of malfunction with the float valve system, the excess water can be discharged through the overflow connector.
The transparent cap with “MAX“ water level mark can display the water level when the water is being filled manually.

WIRING DIAGRAM

OPERATION & FEATURES

1. Plug the power cord into a properly grounded 220~240Volt AC outlet.
   The power indicator will illuminate.

2. To turn the device on, press the button, the device will run in the default  setting (low fan speed and continuous humidity).

3. Use the button to alter the fan speed between High, Medium and Low. The indicator will show the setting you have selected. The high fan speed will result in quicker humidity increase.

4. Press the button to choose a desirable humidity setting. The indicator will  show the setting you have selected. In order to keep the room at the selected level of humidity/comfort the device will automatically switch ON and OFF. ؔ
   Note:
   L (low), the device will keep the humidity level around the 30% RH Between L and M, the device will keep the humidity level around the 40% RH M (medium), the device will keep the humidity level around the 50% RH Between M and H, the device will keep the humidity level around the 60% RH H (high), the device will keep the humidity level around the 70% RH C (continuously), the device will work continuously

5. Use the timer button to set the device to automatically switch off in 2, 4 or 8 hours. While the device is running, you can set the timer to switch the device off.

6. This device is designed to allow the use of an external HALE AIR HUMIDITY CONTROL (humidistat) which is connected with the power supply cord. If using the external humidistat, press the button so that the humidity level  can be solely set by the external device. The timer also doesn’t work in this mode, only the fan speed can be altered between High, Medium and Low.

7. Top cover is equipped with a child lock. Please use a small coin or flat head screwdriver to unlock it. When the cover is opened for servicing or removing the water wheel, the power will be cut-off automatically to avoid any electrical shock/injury.

8. When the water level drops to the min level, there will be a 10sec audible alarm and the red light will illuminate and keep flashing. You can only reset it by re-filling water into the tank.

9. This humidifier has a memory function .When the device is routinely turned off without any power interruption, the previous fan & humidity settings will become the default settings when the unit is switched on the next time. This is often referred to as auto restart after power cut.
   The device has 6 casters of which two are lockable. These two casters are at the left and right of rear side of the unit. We strongly recommend when the device is in operation these two casters are locked by pushing down the lock lever.

Important:

• Once the room humidity is higher than the set parameter, the device will not turn on.
• Move the device gently and very carefully when it is filled with water in order to avoid water splashing onto the floor or internal electrical parts.
• When restarting the device or opening and re-placing the top cover, TANK FULL and TANK EMPTY sensors will re-detect the water level, and give the signals accordingly.

CARE AND CLEANING

Frequent cleaning is necessary to maximize and extend the life of your humidifier.
Always disconnect the device from the wall socket before cleaning and maintenance.

1. Evaporative Pads
   The humidifier evaporative pads have several functions. They are the most important parts of your humidifier since they perform the following functions:

   • Moisture Evaporation
   • Air cleaning
     It is essential to keep the pads clean and replace them periodically (at least year-ly, but preferably twice a year depending on the amount of use, water hardness, local air pollution. To replace the pads, open the humidifier top cap . Take out the air flow direction part . Remove the wheel carefully . Open the clip holding the round foam-pad . Remove the circular foam-disk, and clean the foam pads with white vinegar or de-scaling agent or replace with new ones if too old . Relocate in original position. Fix foam pads in correct position with clip. Do the same with the foam-pad that sits around the wheel.
     Please order replacement evaporative filter set (2 piece evaporation media and 1 carbon dust filter) Article number: EFS-45DW.

2. WATER RESERVOIR
   Open the humidifier top cap. Remove the airflow direction part. Remove the wheel, carefully unlock and slide back the water reservoir. Clean all remaining scale with a scouring pad. Relocate water reservoir by smoothly sliding it back till the water reservoir is in the correct position and locked.

3. FILTER
   Remove the filter protection guard by un-screwing the small screw. Remove the dust filter and clean this by using a vacuum cleaner and rinse in warm water. Before replacing ensure that the dust filter is fully dry. Replace the dust filter and replace the filter protection guard and fix with the screw.
   We recommend that the dust-filter is replaced at least once a year.

4. CLEANING INSIDE AND OUTSIDE
   Use a soft cloth with mild soap to clean the outside and other inside parts with possible scale deposits on your humidifier. Never use aggressive detergents to clean the device. In order to extend the lifetime of your humidifier we recommend that you regularly clean the device inside, outside and the water reservoir.

5. KEEP YOUR WATER FRESH
   For optimal and hygienic use of your humidifier we recommend HALE
   AQUA CONTROL. It keeps the water in your water tank fresh, prevents nasty odours and reduces calcium deposits in your device. This will benefit the service life of your device.
