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.

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 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 It is a result of the amount of minerals suspended in the water you are using.
- To reduce white dust, use distilled water or a Protec PDC51V2 (PDC51CV2 in Canada) Demineralization Cartridge available through Consumer Relations; see back of this
