Always unplug the humidifier before removing the water tank. Empty all water before cleaning water tank, replacing filter or moving the humidifier. Only place the water tank on a hard, solid surface; do not place on carpeting.

1. Prepare the water filter
   Remove plastic bag from filter. For optimal performance, submerge filter in bowl of water for 1 hour.

2. Install the water filter
   a) Unscrew gray cap. b) Secure the filter onto gray cap. c) Tightly secure gray cap with filter onto water tank until indicator meets lock symbol. Failure to properly tighten gray filter cap may result in leaking. Return water tank on top of base.

3. Fill the water tank
   Remove water tank lid and fill with room temperature water (preferably distilled) with the pitcher. The light in the tank is blue when it contains sufficient water (tank is red when it needs refilling).
   WARNING: Do not pour water into the mist outlet or directly into the base/reservoir. Do not fill over the “Max” indicator line.
   CAUTION: Heavy object. To avoid injury always fill tank from the top and use care when lifting.

4. Set up
   Place humidifier on a dry, firm, flat surface that is free from obstructions.
   Note: Failure to properly tighten gray filter cap may result in leaking.
   Open lid of battery chamber found on SensorPod (bottom) and insert 2 AAA batteries (provided).* SensorPod will automatically begin monitoring if the humidifier is on.
   For optimal results, place SensorPod on a tabletop or counter across the room, within line of sight of the humidifier. Control the humidifier with the touch buttons on SensorPod.
   NOTE: When the base reservoir is completely dry, like at the first use or at the start of each new season, there may be a delay of up to 30 seconds before the mist is produced.

CONTROL PANEL

• Power Button

• Warm Mist
  When on, mist is warmed.
  Note: It will take a few minutes to achieve its full temperature.

• Timer Mode
  A humidifier will automatically turn off after 2, 4, 8, or 12 hours. To cancel this countdown, simply press button until no timer setting is displayed.

• Target Humidity
  Press the – or + button to set your own target humidity between 40 – 60%. The humidity level will be displayed as a percentage on panel (i.e. 45 = 45%).

• Filter Change Indicator
  The filter indicator glows red when it is time to be replaced. To reset, simply hold the Filter Reset button for 3 seconds. If you replace the filter before the indicator turns red, simply hold the Filter Reset Button for 10 seconds to notify the humidifier that a new filter has been installed. (See page 14 for replacement instructions. Follow above Reset button instructions after replacing the filter.)

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the tank and base reservoir on a regular basis is critical to ensure the optimal performance of the humidifier. The water filter will help to prevent mineral scale buildup, but a regular cleaning routine is important for addressing mineral scale in areas with especially hard water, as well as to prevent any odors that may be caused by standing water if the humidifier is not used for days at a time. If you have concerns about your local water quality or if you have especially hard water, we recommend using distilled water.

WARNING:
Always unplug the humidifier before removing the water tank. Always empty any water from the tank before cleaning. Always allow any remaining water in the reservoir to cool before cleaning.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE

We recommend that the following is carried out when you refill the water tank:

1. Rinse the water tank with water and wipe clean.
2. Dry with clean cloth.

Note:
Lower humidity control settings or turn off the humidifier if moisture forms on wall or windows

WARNING:
Do not use any detergents or cleaning chemicals. Do not place any part of the humidifier in a dishwasher. Do not submerge the base reservoir underwater at any time.

WEEKLY MAINTENANCE

Base Reservoir

1. Empty the water by pouring out the left side of the base, to avoid splashing onto the control panel or power cord inlet.
2. Remove the covers of the UV-C chamber and PTC heater.
3. Pour 20 fl oz cup of distilled white vinegar into the reservoir, making sure that the atomizer, UV-C chamber and PTC heater are submerged in vinegar. Allow the vinegar to soak for 30 minutes, and then carefully empty the vinegar by pouring out of the left side of the base.
4. Dampen a soft cloth with undiluted white vinegar and gently wipe the reservoir, including all components.

FAQ & TROUBLESHOOTING

Where do I place the SensorPod™?

|

Anywhere you want to measure the humidity within the room.

For optimal results, place the SensorPod™ up to 33ft (10 m) away from the humidifier on a counter or table, within line of sight of the humidifier. In Auto Mode, the humidifier will work to distribute humidity until the SensorPod reads an acceptable level.

---|---

How often do I need to change the filter?

|

That’s easy! The humidifier’s replacement indicator will notify you when it is time to replace the water softening filter. Plan on replacing the water filter every 3-4 months, with the normal use of 8 hours per day and average hardness of water.

How often do I need to replace the aromatherapy pad?

|

The humidifier comes with one aroma pad. Replace as needed.

Humidifier won’t turn on.

|

Check that the power cord is connected securely to both the wall outlet and the humidifier. Check if there is a power outage in the outlet by trying a nearby light or device, or by trying a working device in the same outlet.

Check that there is water in the tank, and consider filling the tank to the “Max” indicator line.

Please contact us if you’re still having a problem (page 19).

Humidifier won’t go into Auto Mode.

OR

Humidity indicators are off. OR

Humidifier’s sensor signal indicator is blinking.
