About White Dust:
Use of high mineral content hard water may cause a white mineral residue to accumulate on surfaces in the room near the humidifier. The mineral residue is commonly called “white dust.” The higher the mineral content (or, the harder your water is), the greater the potential for white dust. The white dust is not caused by a defect in the humidifier. It is caused only by minerals suspended in the water.
Unique Features and Specifications
Ultrasonic Technology:
This humidifier uses ultrasonic high frequency technology to convert the water
into 1–5 million super particles that are dispersed into the air evenly.
Warm & Cool Mist Function:
Choose either warm or cool mist for customized comfort. In winter, a more
draught weather was expected. Warm mist function can release mist around 35℃
which helps to make the air relatively warmer, a greater comfort to user,
especially those suffered from irritated sinuses. Besides, by using the warm
mist mode, mist output can be 20-30% more than cool mist.
Night Light: A useful night light feature is included for your
convenience.
Built-in Timer: Programmable timer, up to 12 hours
Auto Shut-Off Protection When the tank is empty the unit will shut off
automatically.
Voltage Watts Capacity
230-240V 55-62W 5.6 liters
Run Time: Up to 65 hours
Run time is calculated based on using cool water and setting the mist level to
the low setting. Based on the natural humidity level in your home, the
temperature of water you use, and the mist level setting you choose, you may
experience longer or shorter run times.
