Operating Instructions
NOTE: Do not operate the humidifier without water in the tank.
- ON/OFF: Plug in to a standard (120V AC) electrical outlet. The LED Display will turn on for 2 seconds then turn OFF. Press the ON/OFF button once and the “Operating" indicator will turn on. Mist may not appear immediately; allow up to 15 minutes for the water in the tank to transfer to the base.
- Delay Start: The Delay Start Feature allows you to program the unit to turn ON Automatically. Press the “Delay Start” button once; you will see “Delay Start" 01:00H illuminated on the display. This feature works in one-hour increments and is programmable up to 24 hours. Simply keep pressing the Delay Start button until you get to your desired delay start time; once you have reached the time, the display will flash three times and then will start to countdown until the unit turns ON.
- Auto-Off: The Auto-Off feature allows you to program the unit to turn OFF automatically. Press the “Auto-Off” button once; you will see “Auto-Off" 01:00H illuminated on the display. This feature works in one-hour increments and is programmable up to 24 hours. Simply keep pressing the Auto-Off button until you get to your desired Auto-Off time; once you have reached the time, the display will flash three times and then start to count down until the unit turns OFF. The display will start alternating between the current ambient humidity and the Auto-off Timer. NOTE: You can use the Delay Start and Auto-Off functions together on this fully programmable LED Display to program the Humidifier to turn ON and turn OFF at your desired times.
- Mist Output: When you turn the unit ON, it will default to the lowest mist setting. Pressing the "Mist" button will increase the output. Press once for Medium, twice for High, three times for Supreme, four times for the Turbo Setting. Pressing the Mist button a fifth time will bring the unit back to Low. NOTE: Turbo setting is intended for those wanting a more powerful mist and works best while the Extension Nozzle is being used. The Turbo setting will operate for 40 minutes and will then go to the Supreme Mist Setting. User must wait 20 minutes before Turbo setting can be used again.
- Humidistat: By using this feature, the humidifier will automatically control the humidity level according to your desired setting. If the set humidity is reached, the unit will turn OFF; if the humidity drops below the setting, the unit will turn ON automatically. To set this feature, press the “Humidistat” button to your desired setting. Settings range from 40%-95% RH (Relative Humidity) in 5% RH increments. A 40%-60% Relative Humidity is recommended. Once you set your desired humidity, the number will blink 3 times and then the display will revert back to the relative humidity. To view the set Humidity level, press the Humidistat button once.
- LED Dim: To turn OFF the LED Display, press the “LED DIM” button once. Press the “LED DIM”, or any other button on the control panel to turn the display back ON.
- LOW Water: When the Tank is out of water, the "waterless" indicator will appear in the display, you will hear 3 beeps, and the automatic safety shut-off will turn the Ultrasonic Nebulizer & unit OFF.
Remote Control: Be sure to remove the clear pull tab before using the remote. The functions on the remote control mirror those on the Humidifier. When using the remote control, you can control the Humidifier from your desired location.
Extension Nozzle: To convert this unit from a Tabletop unit to a Floor unit, simply remove the Dual Directional Mist Nozzle from the top of the Water Tank. Place the unit on your desired floor area and insert the Extension Nozzle into the Top of the Water Tank. Then place the Dual Directional Nozzle on the top of the Extension Nozzle. NOTE: Be sure to have the unit unplugged and turned off when changing the Nozzles.
Weekly Cleaning & Care / Storage
Weekly Cleaning & Care
CAUTION: Before cleaning, always turn power off and unplug the unit from the outlet. DO NOT use any solvents or aggressive cleaning agents. Keep water away from the Air Outlet. DO NOT tamper with the Water Sensor.
About White Dust: Use of high-mineral content water may cause a white mineral residue to accumulate on room surfaces near the humidifier. This 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. If you have hard tap water, we recommend using only filtered, distilled, cold boiled, or bottled water to minimize the white dust residue.
Tank Cleaning: Remove the Mist Nozzle from the top of the water tank, then remove the water tank from the unit. Turn the tank upside down, unscrew the tank cap, and drain any water from the tank. Wipe the tank with a soft damp cloth, then rinse it with warm water inside and out.
Base Cleaning: Gently wipe the base with a soft damp cloth; do not immerse the Base in water. Never scrape the Ultrasonic Nebulizer with a hard or sharp object.
White Dust Cleaning: If mineral deposits ("White Dust") are evident around the Ultrasonic Nebulizer and Water Sensor, clean these surfaces with a soft cloth and a small amount of undiluted white vinegar. If necessary, mix a solution of 50% white vinegar and 50% water and fill the Base with enough solution to cover the Ultrasonic Nebulizer (refer to diagram 'a'). Allow it to soak for an hour, and then use the provided brush to gently loosen buildup on the Ultrasonic Nebulizer (refer to diagram 'b'). Rinse out the Base with clean water and wipe clean with a soft cloth.
Ceramic Water Filter Cleaning: Remove the Water Tank from the Humidifier Base. Remove the Tank Cap (refer to diagram 'c') and rinse the Water Filter thoroughly with tap water, then replace it on the Water Tank (refer to diagram 'd').
Surface Cleaning: Clean all surfaces of the unit with a clean, damp soft cloth.
CAUTION: When emptying the water reservoir on the base, make sure that the water is poured away from the air outlet (refer to diagram 'e'). If water is poured into the outlet, it may damage the humidifier.
Replacing The Remote Control Battery: Push the tab to the left of the battery tray towards the right to unlock the tray (refer to diagram 'f'). While the tab is pushed, pull out the battery tray (refer to diagram 'g'). Remove the battery from the tray and replace it with a new 3.5-volt lithium battery (CR2025) with the positive side facing up (refer to diagram 'h'). Insert the tray back into the bottom of the remote control until it locks in (refer to diagram 'i').
