Using Your Ultrasonic Humidifier

First Time Use

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

Unpack and remove all packing material from the Water Tank, Mist Nozzle and Base.
Completely unravel power cord and place unit on a flat, stable surface. If a demineralization
cartridge is included, remove its protective wrapper and replace it into the Base as illustrated
above. Follow the directions below to fill and operate 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.

To avoid white dust we recommend using a Kaz Demineralization Cartridge (Model DC-51)
and replacing it after 30-40 fillings. If you live in an extremely hard water area you may
also wish to use distilled water to further reduce white dust. Refer to 

About White Dust

.

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.

Slide the Power Switch to the On position. The Power Indicator will illuminate.

4.

Set the Mist Intensity Control to the desired setting. To increase mist, slide Control to the
right; slide Control to the left to decrease mist.

5.

Mist will not appear immediately; allow a few minutes for the water to fill the Reservoir. If
you are using a new Demineralization Cartridge, it may take up to fifteen minutes for the
filtering material to become saturated and for mist to appear.

6.

Direct Mist Nozzle away from walls and furniture. If condensation forms on walls or
windows, or if indoor relative humidity exceeds 50%, reduce Mist Intensity Control
setting, open door to room where humidifier is operating, or turn unit off.
