Using Your Ultrasonic Humidifier
First Time Use
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
With proper care and maintenance,
the humidifier should be able to provide 8-12 hours of operation for each tank and adequately
humidifier an area the size of 150 square feet.
Unpack and remove all packing material from the Water Tank and Base. Completely unravel
power cord and place unit on a flat, stable surface. Follow the directions below to fill and oper-
ate the Humidifier.
Filling the Water Tank
Always UNPLUG the humidifier before filling.
1.
Remove the Directional Mist Nozzle from the Water Tank. Remove the Water Tank from the
Base and turn it upside down. Turn the Tank Cap counterclockwise to open. Rinse and wipe
clean.
2.
Fill the Water Tank with clean, cool, tap water and replace the Tank Cap by firmly turning
clockwise. Turn the tank upright and check Tank Cap for leaks. If any water drips from Tank
Cap, remove it and re-tighten.
Use of very cold water may temporarily reduce the
mist output. Never fill the humidifier with hot or warm water as this could
cause damage and void your warranty.
If you live in an extremely hard water area you may wish to use distilled water to reduce
white dust. Refer to
About White Dust
below.
3.
Inspect the base and Nebulizer for cleanliness. Refer to
Care and Cleaning
section.
4.
Replace the Water Tank on the Base and reinstall the Mist Nozzle on the Water Tank.
Operating Instructions
1.
Do not
operate the humidifier without water in the Water Tank.
2.
After filling the humidifier, be sure the Power Switch is in the OFF position, then plug the
power cord into a 120 volt AC wall outlet.
3.
Turn the Switch to either the Hi or Low position. The Power Indicator will illuminate
4.
Mist will not appear immediately. Allow a few minutes for the water to fill the Reservoir.
5.
Direct Mist Nozzle away from walls and furniture. If condensation forms on walls or win-
dows, or if indoor relative humidity exceeds 50%, turn the Switch to the low setting (on 2-speed
models), open door to room where humidifier is operating, or turn unit off.
6.
If no mist is produced, unplug cord and check the Water Sensor in the Reservoir to ensure
it is in contact with the water. The water level in the Reservoir must be high enough to partially
immerse the Water Sensor in order for the humidifier to work.
7.
Turn the humidifier off before removing and refilling the Water Tank. When the Tank is
empty, the mist will stop although the fan will continue to operate.
About White Dust
Use of high-mineral-content water will cause a white mineral residue to accumulate on room
surfaces near the humidifier. The mineral residue is commonly called "white dust". The higher
the mineral content (the harder your water is), the greater the potential for white dust. The white
dust is not caused by a defect in the humidifier, but is due only to minerals suspended in the
water. To reduce the accumulation of white dust, use distilled water.
