•
Discard humidifier, as it
cannot be repaired
•
Unit is not plugged in
or tank is not seated
properly
•
High setting (mist can
look like white powder)
•
Some chemicals used
in safe water treatment
could become white
powder as the water
vaporizes. This is not a
humidifier malfunction.
•
High setting
•
Low setting
•
Tank is almost empty
•
The float inside base
unit is dirty
•
Gasket in bottom of
tank is dirty
•
Humidifier is not on a
level surface so float
is not able to operate
properly
•
Normal operation. As
water enters reservoir in
base, air is displaced and
creates bubbles in tank
and possibly a gurgling
sound.
•
Product may have
been mishandled.
Each unit was tested
after production and
confirmed to be free of
leaks.
Question
Answer
•
What are the variables
that affect run time?
•
How do I remove film on
the tank?
•
How can I extend run
time?
•
The estimated run time for this humidifier is based on
average room conditions and is dependent on numerous
variables such as:
- Air exchange in the room.
- Room construction where the humidifier is placed.
- Temperature of the room.
- Humidity levels in the room.
- Movement of occupants and the opening and closing of
doors in the room.
- Home furnishings in the room.
•
See “Daily Maintenance” section. Regular cleaning is
recommended.
•
Run your unit on the lowest setting.
•
Fill tank all the way full and place on the base. Let water
empty into the base until it stops bubbling, then refill and
re-seat tank again. This ensures maximum water capacity
and will extend run time.
