How to Fill
CAUTION:
Before filling unit with water, turn power off and unplug unit from the outlet.
Note:
Always use two hands to carry the water tank.
1. Grasp tank handles with both hands and lift
up from humidifier base. Remove only one
tank at a time (fig. 3).
2. Turn the tank upside down and remove the
tank cap by turning it counter-clockwise
(fig. 4).
3. fill the water tank with clean, cool tap water.
We recommend using distilled water if you
live in a hard water area (fig. 5).
4. Replace the tank cap by turning clockwise
until tight (fig. 6).
5. Install both tanks back on the base of the unit.
Make sure the tanks are firmly seated (fig. 7).
About White Dust
Use of high mineral content hard water may cause a white mineral residue to
accumulate on surfaces in the room near the humidifier. The mineral residue is
commonly called “white dust.” The higher the mineral content (or, the harder your
water is), the greater the potential for white dust. The white dust is not caused by
a defect in the humidifier. It is caused only by minerals suspended in the water.
Demineralization Cartridge
The Sharper Image demineralization cartridge will help reduce the potential
for white dust, a deposit of minerals left behind from using hard water in your
humidifier. The cartridge should be replaced every 30 – 40 fillings. The cartridge
may need to be replaced more often if you are using very hard water. Replace
the cartridge when you notice an increase in white dust build-up. If white dust
still forms around the humidifier after a new cartridge has been installed, consider
using distilled water. To purchase new demineralization cartridges, model
# EV-HDDC4-6CTM, go back to the retailer (where you purchased your
humidifier), or visit www.sharperimageparts.com.
If you live in an area with
hard water, or use a water softener, we recommend using distilled
water for better results from your humidifier. Never use water
softening additives in your humidifier.
