HOW TO USE
HIGH MIST SETTING
Operation for fast humidification of small to medium-sized rooms. The high-
speed operation will evaporate approximately 1.4 gallons of water in 24 hours
of continuous operation. (This assumes room conditions of 70º F and 30%
relative humidity.)
LOW MIST SETTING
Operation for quiet, nighttime use or smaller rooms. On Low operation, your
humidifier may run without refilling for extended periods.
SLEEP MODE
Operation of HIGH and LOW mist without the power button LED activated for use
overnight
TIP: Lower the mist setting or turn off the humidifier if moisture forms
on walls or windows.
LOW WATER INDICATOR & AUTO SHUTOFF
When the humidifier detects a low water level, the Power Button LED will flash
red to indicate the water tank needs to be refilled before automatically
powering off. Refill the tank and power the humidifier back on to resume
operation.
CLEANING
Proper cleaning is essential to the air quality and performance of your
humidifier. The frequency in which your humidifier will need to be cleaned
will vary depending on use, water hardness, and outside environmental
factors. It is recommended, assuming average use, to thoroughly clean weekly
or when algae, mineral deposits or other particles begin to form. If the
humidifier is turned off with water in the base and not turned back on for 8
hours or longer, or if the humidifier is not cleaned as recommended, you may
experience some growth of algae or bacteria. These microorganisms may become
airborne.
NOTE: Do not use gasoline, thinners, solvents or other chemicals for
cleaning.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
- Turn the humidifier off, unplug it from the wall and disconnect the adapter from the base.
- Empty any remaining water in the water tank.
- On occasion, the water tank may need to be gently wiped down or cleaned to remove the buildup of impurities. Clean with a mild detergent and rinse with clean tap water.
- Locate the ultrasonic disk on the inside center of the water tank. Put 5-10 drops of vinegar on the surface of the ultrasonic disk. Wait for 2-5 minutes.
- Brush out the scale on the surface of the disk with the included cleaning brush.
- Rinse the ultrasonic disk with clean tap water. Do NOT submerge base into water
- Wipe the outer surface of the unit with a soft, damp cloth if needed.
