water or when the unit is switched off, the
Power on light indicator will not be working.
3.

or stop emitting mist altogether. Should this
occur, simply remove excess water from the
humidifier base.
IMPORTANT:
If you do not plan to use your
humidifier for two or more days, make sure any
residual water is drained from the tank and base
to prevent any bacteria growth in stagnant water.
CARE AND CLEANING
Humidifiers provide comfort by adding moisture
to dry, heated indoor air. To get the most benefit
from the humidifier and to avoid product misuse,
follow all instructions carefully, specifically the
operation, care and maintenance guidelines.
Please note this is an electrical appliance and
requires attention when in use.
Cleaning your humidifier every one or two weeks,
depending on the water conditions is important in
order to maintain efficient, healthy, odour-free
operation. Water quality varies widely and,
combined with build-up of mineral scale in your
humidifier, may under certain conditions promote
the growth of micro-organisms in the water tank.
Before cleaning, Please note the
following:
•
DO NOT use soap, detergents, abrasives,
gasoline, glass or furniture polish, or boiling
water to clean any part of your Ultrasonic
Humidifier. These will interfere with the
proper operation of your unit and may affect
its appearance.
•
DO NOT use sharp or metal objects to clean
mineral deposits in the reservoir. Contact
with sharp objects can result in damage to
the plastic.
•
Mineral deposits should be soaked for up to
20 minutes in plain vinegar and water to
help with their removal.
•
DO NOT clean any part of your humidifier in
the dishwasher.
Daily maintenance:
1.
Before cleaning, set the humidity control
switch to the Off position (
) and unplug
the unit from the electrical outlet.
2.
Lift off the tank of the humidifier.
3.
Carry the base and the tank to the sink, then
drain and rinse the base and tank thoroughly
to remove any sediment or dirt. Wipe clean
and dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.
4.
Refill the tank with cool tap water as instructed
in “Operating Instructions”. Do not over fill.
5.
If moisture forms on walls or window, turn
the humidifier off.
