7.

If mist is not 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 Base must be high enough to
partially immerse the Water Sensor in order for the humidifier to work.

8.

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.

Kaz Demineralization Cartridge

(Model DC-51)

This Humidifier may be supplied with a demineralization cartridge that removes minerals from
the water. This prevents the precipitation of minerals (“white dust”) that can occur in hard water
areas. The demineralization cartridge is designed to last for about a month to two months of
normal use; the effective time will vary depending on the mineral content of the water used. If
you live in a hard water area, we recommend the use of distilled water for better results from
the humidifier.

If you are using distilled water in the humidifier, you may find the demineralization cartridge
unnecessary. And, if you choose, you may operate the humidifier without it.

Replacement Cartridge Model DC-51 should be available where you purchased the humidifier.

Care and Cleaning

CAUTION: 

ALWAYS TURN OFF THE POWER SWITCH AND DISCONNECT THE POWER

CORD FROM THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET BEFORE CLEANING.

Daily Maintenance:

1.

Lift the Water Tank from Base and empty all water from the Reservoir. Remove the Tank
Cap and drain any water from the Water Tank. Wipe it clean with a soft, damp cloth. The
Mist Nozzle should be removed during cleaning to prevent damage.

2.

Do not

immerse the Base in water. Gently wipe the Reservoir with a soft, clean, wet cloth.

Do not

attempt to remove or in any other way modify the Water Sensor. 

Use care

when

wiping around the Water Sensor; it is delicate and can be easily damaged. Rinse the
Water Tank with lukewarm water after each use. For storage, wipe dry with a soft, clean
cloth. Keep water away from the Air Outlet.
