then follow "Filter Use instructions".
IMPORTANT:
To eliminate the emission of
minerals from the water, it is recommended
that the Water Filter be used.
3. Position Mist Channel (B) over Base (G),
carefully locate into base, (see Fig 2).
4. Insert the Mist Nozzle (A) onto the Mist
channel (B), (see Fig. 2).
5. Place the water tanks on the base (see Fig. 3).

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Fill Water Tanks
NOTE:
Be sure the humidifier is switched off
and disconnected from the wall outlet. The water
you put into the water tanks should be clean and not
U.K. and IRELAND
be over 40° C. (cold boiled water or demineralised
water are recommended).
1. Remove the water tanks out from the base.
2. Unscrew the water outlet valve (L).
3. Fill the tanks with clean water and screw the
valve back tightly onto the tanks. (See Fig. 4)
4. Put the water tanks back on the base. (see Fig.4).
Switch the Unit On and Off (See Fig. 1 F1)
1. Put the plug into the main supply.
2. Press Power ( ) (F1) to switch on and off
the Ultrasonic Humidifier. The LED screen is
lightened when the power is on.
NOTE:
This unit has a memory. The control
panel will remember the previous mist output
level setting after the unit has been turned off.
However, if the unit is unplugged, the control
panel will reset to Hi (II) and will no longer
remember the previous mist output level setting.
Mist Control/ Humidity Level Control (See
Fig. 1 F2)
To raise or lower the humidity level, adjust the
fan to low or high mist output levels:
I / Lo
= Low mist output
II / HI
= High mist output
NOTE: Mist output level setting alternates Hi(II)
to Lo(I) with one touch to the Mist Control (F2)
on the Control Panel (F).
Control Panel
The control panel has a humidity indicator light
and will show differing colours as follows:
Amber
= Low humidity. (Below 50%
Relative Humidity Level)
Green
= Comfort Humidity Level (About
50% Relative Humidity Level)
Blue = High
humidity. (Above
50%
Relative Humidity Level)
Screen flickers
= water level in basin is low,
refill tanks
NOTE:
The recommended humidity level is
between 40% - 50%.
AUTO SAFETY SHUT OFF
This Ultrasonic Humidifier has two built in safety
devices:
1. When the water level in the basin is low, the
transducer will automatically shut off. Refill
the tanks as instructed in "Operating
Instructions" to operate the humidifier again.
2. When the Mist Channel is not positioned correctly
on the base, the fan and Transducer will
automatically shut off and the Control Panel
screen will flicker. Remove and replace the
Mist Channel to ensure proper fit.
FILTER USE
The Water filters are used to retain minerals in
your water and to provide clean moisture. The
filter life is determined by the average daily use
of your humidifier and the water hardness in
your area. The harder the water, the greater the
amount of minerals in the water and more often
you will need to replace the filter. It is strongly
recommended that each filter is replaced every 2
months, (depending on use), or when white dust
is emitted from the unit.
1. Make sure the unit is turned off and
disconnect from the mains outlet. Remove
Water Tanks (M) and Mist Channel (B).
2. If replacing, remove the Filters (O) from the
base and dispose.
3. Remove the protective plastic bag from the new
filters. Soak filters thoroughly by immersing filters
in water for 5 minutes. Install the filters into
the base.
4. Fill the water tanks with clean, cool tap water and
replace it in the base. Wait 15 minutes for water to
pass through the filters before turning on the unit.
The 15 minute wait is necessary to ensure that
the filters are properly saturated and the water is
at its optimal level for best performance.
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, switch off the unit and unplug
the unit from the electrical outlet.
