User instructions

NOTICE!
Before each use
CHECK HUMIDIFIER PLACEMENT – Place the Humidifier on a nonmetallic, lint free, waterproof, level surface for best performance. This is to help disperse the mist in the air and prevent it from being knocked or tipped over.

CAUTION!
DO NOT operate the humidifier without water in the water tank.
DO NOT plug in the power supply cord with wet hands; electric shock could happen.

− Be sure the humidifier is turned OFF and the humidifier is unplugged from the electrical outlet.

Operation

1. Lift water tank (p. 3, fig. A 2 ) off of base holding bottom of tank with both hands.

2. NOTE: DO NOT hold water tank by handle (p. 4, fig. 2 3 ) when empty or full.

3. Turn tank upside down and unscrew water tank cap (p. 4, fig. 3 5 ) by turning it counterclockwise.

4. Fill water tank with cold water. Do not fill all the way to the rim.

5. NOTE: If you have hard water, it is recommended to use filtered or distilled water.
   While using the humidifier, if you see a film of white dust, it is because of hard water.

6. DO NOT add any medication or other additives into the water tank itself. For use of essential oils, see page 17.

7. Screw water tank cap back onto tank by turning clockwise.

8. Place tank onto the base (p. 3, fig. A 3 ). Make sure it is laying flush into the base. There should not be a space between the tank and base.

9. Place mist lid (p. 3, fig. A 1 ) on top of water tank and turn mist lid to face desired direction of the mist.

10. NOTE: DO NOT move humidifier while water tank is on base. Water may leak into the base causing a malfunction.

11. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet. DO NOT use an extension cord.

12. Turn power on by turning the control knob (p. 4, fig. 5 12 ) clockwise (to the right). You will hear a minor clicking noise when turning unit on and off. The green power indicator light will turn on.

13. In a few moments, the mist will start coming through the mist lid. Use the control knob to adjust the intensity of the mist output. Turning the knob clockwise will increase the moisture output, turning the knob counterclockwise will reduce the moisture output.

14. Note: When at maximum level, it is normal to hear a faint dripping sound.

15. Turn on the blue unit LED night light by pressing the ‘LED On/Off’ button (p. 4, fig. 5 14 or 15 ). To turn it off, press and hold the button for 2 seconds.

16. Turn on the white unit LED color changing night light by pressing the ‘LED On/Off’ button (p. 4, fig. 5 15 ). The LED lights will change continuously in the following order;
    • Purple, dark blue, light blue, green, yellow, orange and red To turn it off, press and hold the button for 2 seconds.

17. When the humidifier runs out of water, the power light (p. 4, fig. 5 13 ) will turn red, and the mist output will stop. This is a safety feature to prevent the humidifier from possibly overheating and damaging the nebulizer (p. 4, fig. 4 7 ). This safety feature uses a water level sensor (p. 4, fig. 4 9 ) to stop the nebulizer once the water level sinks below the required level in the water basin.

18. Turn the humidifier off and unplug before removing and refilling the water tank.

Setting the correct humidity output

Adjust the mist control so that the mist rises up and gets absorbed by the room air. Do not turn on too high an output as the mist cannot be absorbed by the air and accumulates on the surface around the humidifier. If the humidifier is placed near a fan or air conditioning outlet, the mist may be forced down by the foreign air stream. Change the location of the humidifier or reduce the output of the other room conditioning appliances.

Using essential oils

Essential oils can be used on the aroma pad located in the aroma tray on the side of the base. You can mix and match any oil scents you would like.

1. Place about 3 drops of desired scent on the aroma pad located in the aroma tray 16 (see above).
2. Push the aroma tray into the base.
3. Each pad should only be used per desired scent.
4. Before attempting to reuse aroma pad with a different scent, clean the aroma pad by lightly hand washing it in warm water and letting it thoroughly air dry.

Helpful hints

1. It is best to keep the humidity level at about 30-50 percent of relative humidity.
2. The comfort level of humidity will vary from room to room and with changing room conditions.
3. In cold weather, windows and even some walls may fog or develop frost from excessive indoor humidity. If this occurs, reduce the mist intensity setting to avoid damage from condensed water dripping on windowsills.
4. Too much humidity in the room may allow moisture to accumulate on surfaces where bacteria and fungi can grow. Moisture that gathers may also damage furniture and walls, especially wallpaper.
5. To eliminate excessive humidity, especially in small rooms, leave the room door open and adjust the mist intensity control setting.
6. Note: To avoid possible white dust due to hard water, it is recommended to use filtered or distilled water.
7. DO NOT use hot water. Use cool tap water.
8. DO NOT add any medication or other additives to the water.
9. DO NOT pour water into Vapor Outlet Channel (p. 4, fig. 2 2 ).
10. Note: Do not attempt to move humidifier while water tank is placed on the water basin. Doing so may cause leakage of water. Also, do not place humidifier on the floor. Place humidifier on an elevated surface.

Cleaning and maintenance

Portable humidifiers require regular cleaning in order to reduce the risk of bacterial growth and also to remove any scale residue to maintain good operational performance. Follow the procedures below for healthy maintenance of your Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier.

CAUTION!
NEVER PLUG OR UNPLUG HUMIDIFIER WITH WET HANDS.
Always be sure that the humidifier is unplugged and switched OFF before cleaning or attempting to clean or store the item.
DO NOT leave water in water tank (p. 3, fig. A 2 ) or water basin when unit is not in use as it may result in the buildup of mineral deposits and bacteria that can inhibit the output efficiency of the humidifier. PLEASE NOTE that if water remains in the water tank for more than a day or two, bacterial growth is possible.
NOTE: When removing water tank, water may accumulate under vapor lid and on the bottom of the water tank. It is recommended to have a dry cloth ready to dry wet surfaces.

Disinfecting the water tank and water basin

1. Fill water tank with 2 tablespoons of white vinegar or bleach in a ½ gallon of water. Let stand 20 minutes. Screw on water tank cap (p. 4, fig. 3 5 ) and shake vigorously with two hands every few minutes, drain and rinse with clean water until the vinegar or bleach smell is gone. Dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.
2. Fill the base with water and add 2 tablespoons of white vinegar or bleach to the water and let it soak for 20 minutes. Drain the base and rinse with cool water. Dry with a soft cloth. DO NOT IMMERSE WATER BASIN IN WATER. An electric shock may result or the humidifier may be damaged.
3. Wipe all exterior surfaces of the base with a damp, soft cloth.
4. It is normal for water to be in the water basin. However, water must not get inside the central body. If this should happen, take the humidifier to an authorized service center before using it again.

NOTE: It is recommended to clean humidifier with the water and white vinegar solution as stated above after using the humidifier about once a week or if cleaning seems necessary.
IMPORTANT: Failure to keep this humidifier clean from mineral deposits normally contained in any water supply will affect the efficiency of the operation. Customer failure to follow these instructions may void the warranty.

Storage

Allow the humidifier to dry completely before storing. Store the humidifier in a dry location. Do not place any heavy items on top of humidifier during storage as this may result in possible damage of the appliance. Always check the plug before use to assure metal items have not become attached.

• Save the box for off-season storage.
• Make sure the tank, water basin and water tank cap are dried thoroughly before storing.
• If water is left in the unit during storage, it may evaporate completely and leave deposits that can prevent the unit from operating properly.
• Leave the water tank cap loose to prevent the water cap and gasket from sticking together. This will prolong the life of the gasket.
