RELION DH-975 Warm Moisture Humidifier Owner’s Manual
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS HUMIDIFIER
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:
- Always place this humidifier on a firm, flat and level surface. This humidifier may not work properly on an uneven surface.
- CAUTION: To reduce the risk of burns, place this humidifier in an area where it is not accessible to children.
- Do not place the humidifier near any heat sources such as stoves, radiators, and heaters.
- Before using the humidifier, check the power cord for any signs of damage. If the cord is found to be damaged, DO NOT USE and return the humidifier to the manufacturer under the warranty agreement for repair.
- This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of shock, this plug is intended to fit only one way in a polarized outlet. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt to defeat this safety feature.
- To disconnect the humidifier, first turn controls to the OFF position, then grip the plug and pull it from the wall outlet. Never pull by the cord.
- A loose fit between the AC outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause overheating and a distortion of the plug. Contact a qualified electrician to replace loose or worn outlet.
- The humidifier should always be unplugged and emptied when not in operation or while being serviced or cleaned.
- Never tilt or attempt to move the humidifier while it is operating or filled with water. UNPLUG the humidifier before moving.
- This humidifier requires regular cleaning. Refer to the CLEANING instructions provided. Never clean the humidifier in any manner other than as instructed in this manual.
- Turn the humidifier OFF if the relative humidity exceeds 60%, or if you notice moisture on the inside of your windows. For proper humidity reading use a hygrometer, which is available in many hardware and department stores or by ordering one from Honeywell. (See CARE PRODUCTS).
- DO NOT touch the steam vapor. Steam can cause burns.
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a Robitussin® Warm Moisture Humidifier.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Water passes into the Power Unit where it is heated and purified. The Warm
Moisture system then pulls the air through the top vent and spreads invisible
moisture-balanced air into the room.
MODEL DH-975
_Your humidifier is made up of these parts:
_
SET UP
NOTE: We recommend that the humidifier be disinfected prior to first use. Please see WEEKLY CLEANING instructions.
- Select a firm, level, flat location – at least six inches (15 cm) from any wall for proper air flow (Fig. 1). Place the humidifier on a water-resistant surface, as water can damage furniture and some flooring.
The manufacturer will not accept responsibility for property damage caused by water spillage.
FILLING
-
Remove the water tank by grasping the handle and pulling straight up. Set aside (Fig. 1).
-
Turn the Water Tank upside down so that the Fill Cap is facing up; unscrew the Fill Cap by turning it counter-clockwise and set aside.
-
Fill the Water Tank with COOL tap water (Fig. 2)
. Distilled water is not necessary as the water is purified by the heating element. DO NOT USE HOT WATER. Doing so may damage the humidifier.
- Replace the fill cap by turning it clockwise . DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
NOTE: WHEN CARRYING THE FILLED WATER TANK, PLEASE USE THE HANDLE AND PLACE YOUR OTHER HAND UNDER THE TANK FOR ADDITIONAL SUPPORT.
-
Turn the Water Tank right side up. Position the tank into the humidifier and push it into place (Fig. 3).
-
Some water will flow into the Removable Tray when the filled tank is properly in place.
-
Once the filled tank has been positioned, do not attempt to move the humidifier. If it has to be moved, unplug the humidifier and remove the water tank first.
CAUTION: DO NOT POUR WATER INTO THE GRILLE ON TOP OF THE HUMIDIFIER (Fig. 3). DOING SO MAY DAMAGE THE HUMIDIFIER OR CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.
OPERATION
POWER
CAUTION: DO NOT PLUG IN THE HUMIDIFIER WITH WET HANDS AS AN ELECTRICAL
SHOCK COULD OCCUR.
- Plug the filled humidifier into a polarized 120V outlet. DO NOT FORCE THE
POLARIZED PLUG INTO THE OUTLET; it will only fit one way.
HUMIDITY OUTPUT
-
Set the Power Knob to the desired position (Fig 4).
HIGH: For fast humidifying.
LOW: For more gradual humidification.
NOTE: You will not hear a difference when turning the humidifier from High to Low. -
Press down and release the Start lever to TURN ON the humidifier.
NOTE: Allow 5-10 minutes for the humidifier to begin producing moisture. -
THE START LEVER MUST BE PRESSED EVERY TIME THE WATER TANK IS REMOVED FROM THE BASE OR REFILLED.
FEATURES
MEDICINE CUP:
A medicated vapor can be distributed into the air by using the Medicine Cup at
the top of the Power Unit (Fig. 5).
TO ADD MEDICINE TO THE MEDICINE CUP
- Turn the humidifier OFF and allow at least 10 minutes for the unit to cool.
- Lift the Grille with Medicine Cup from the Power Unit (Fig. 5).
- Fill the cup halfway with liquid medicine.
- Carefully place Grille with Medicine Cup back into the Power Unit.
- After use, remove the Grille with Medicine Cup and clean with warm water or in the dishwasher. Replace the clean, dry Grille with Medicine Cup into the Power Unit.
WARNING: DO NOT use any liquid medicines other than those specifically
recommended for use with a steam vaporizer or warm humidifier. DO NOT pour
medicine directly through the Grille opening or add it to the Water Tank.
The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for consequences resulting
from the uses of medicine in this humidifier.
WEEKLY CLEANING
We recommend cleaning the humidifier weekly, more often if you have hard water
or notice a build-up of impurities or detect unpleasant odors.
Cleaning involves two steps SCALE REMOVAL and DISINFECTING. Be sure to perform
these in the proper order to avoid harmful chemical interactions.
- First, turn off and unplug the humidifier. Wait at least 10 minutes for the unit to cool.
- Remove the Water Tank.
- To remove the Power Unit, pull the Latch to release (found under the Water Tank) and lift the Power Unit (Fig. 6). Turn upside-down to check condition of heating element. If build-up of minerals is heavy, follow the CLEANING THE HEATING ELEMENT instructions. Set the Power Unit aside.
- Empty any water from the Base and Removable Tray.
STEP ONE:
SCALE REMOVAL
REMOVABLE TRAY:
- Fill the Removable Tray (Fig. 6) with either:
- 1 cup (8 oz.) undiluted white vinegar or
- Use Dura Rinse® Humidifier Cleaner, part no. AC-816, following bottle instructions.
- Let solution stand for 20 minutes.
- With the vinegar or DuraRinse® in the Removable Tray clean all interior surfaces with a soft cloth or brush to help remove scale.
- Rinse the Removable Tray thoroughly with water to remove scale and cleaning solution.
STEP TWO: DISINFECTING
WATER TANK/REMOVABLE TRAY
-
Fill the Water Tank with:
- 1 teaspoon of household bleach and
- 1 gallon of water.
Pour some of this solution into the Removable Tray.
-
Let solution stand for 20 minutes.
-
Rinse with water until the odor of bleach is gone.
NOTE: THE USE OF OTHER WATER TREATMENT PRODUCTS, CHEMICALS, SOAPS, DETERGENTS OR ABRASIVE CLEANSERS NOT RECOMMENDED IN THE MANUAL MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE HUMIDIFIER OR AFFECT PERFORMANCE
CLEANING THE HEATING ELEMENT
If the unit stops producing mist, even while there is water in the tank, the
mineral build-up may need to be removed from the heating element of the Power
Unit.
How often you perform this special maintenance depends upon the hardness of
the water you are using and how quickly mineral deposits form on the interior
surfaces of the humidifier.
DO NOT clean the heating element under running water. Doing so may cause
damage or personal injury.
-
Unplug the humidifier. Allow at least 10 minutes for the unit to cool.
-
The heating element is on the bottom of the Power Unit. To access it, remove the Power Unit by pulling on the Latch (found under the Water Tank) and lifting the Power Unit (Fig. 6).
-
Turn it upside down. BE SURE IT HAS COOLED SUFFICIENTLY.
-
Use a non-metallic brush or a soft, dry cloth to wipe the outer surfaces of the heating element (Fig. 7 ).
Some deposit may remain, but should not interfere with the operation of the unit.
END-OF-THE-SEASON CARE AND STORAGE
- Follow WEEKLY CLEANING instructions when the humidifier will not be used for at least one week or more, or at the end of the season.
- Dry the humidifier completely before storing. DO NOT store with water inside the Removable Tray, Base, or Water Tank.
- Pack the unit in its original carton and store in a cool, dry location.
- Before next use, remember to clean the humidifier.
