6. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of shock, this plug is intended to fit only one way in a polarized outlet. If the plug does not fit securely in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt to defeat this safety feature.
7. To disconnect the humidifier, first turn the controls to the OFF position, then grip the plug and pull it from the wall outlet. Never pull by the cord.
8. A loose fit between the AC outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause overheating and a distortion of the plug. Contact a qualified electrician to replace loose or worn outlets.
9. The humidifier should always be unplugged and emptied when not in operation or while being serviced or cleaned.
10. Never tilt or attempt to move the humidifier while it is operating or filled with water. UNPLUG the humidifier before moving.

INTRODUCTION

How it Works:

The Easy to Care Ultrasonic Humidifier is designed to silently provide visible cool moisture. Water is pumped from the water reservoir through the demineralization cartridge which helps capture minerals in the water. Demineralized water flows into the misting tray where it is turned into a fine visible mist through the action of ultrasonic sound waves. The mist is then propelled into the air by a small fan providing relief from dry air.

The unique top-fill design makes filling as easy as watering a plant. This unit is also equipped with a water circulating feature which indicates when refilling is needed.

Your humidifier is made up of these parts:

SETTING UP YOUR HUMIDIFIER

Remove from box

Remove packaging material. Remove and set aside the instruction manual. Recycle the box and packaging materials or save the box for the end
of season storage.

To prevent the water pump from shifting during transportation it has been taped to the inside of your humidifier. Remove the top housing and locate the water pump in the bottom of the main housing. Remove the shipping tape located on the water pump and place the water pump back in the slot.

Make sure it is securely in place and the hose is not bent or crimped or the unit will not operate.

Placement

Select a firm, level location at least 6” (15cm) from any walls for proper airflow. Place the humidifier on a water-resistant surface, as water can damage furniture and some flooring. Kaz will not accept responsibility for property damage caused by water spillage.

Filling

Note: You can fill this humidifier with as much as 1 gallon of water or as little as a cup of water.

Note: Water can be added up to, but not exceed the Full line.

Indications that your humidifier needs to be refilled are:

• The humidifier has stopped producing mist
• Water has stopped circulating over the top housing

Mist Direction

REPLACING DEMINERALIZATION CARTRIDGE

The demineralization cartridge should be changed every 20-30 fillings depending on your water quality. Keep in mind, depending on your water quality, you may need to change your demineralization cartridge more frequently. Indications that you should change your cartridge are white-colored particles/dust settling around the base of your humidifier.

For areas of extreme hard water, it is recommended that you use distilled water in your humidifier.

REPLACING DEMINERALIZATION CARTRIDGE (Continued)

CLEANING: HUT-220 Series

NOTE: It is recommended that all maintenance be done in the kitchen or bathroom on a water-resistant surface.

Weekly Cleaning: To properly clean your humidifier we recommend the process of scale removal and disinfecting.

DISHWASHER SAFE: The following parts are TOP RACK dishwasher safe for residential dishwashers operating at temperatures below 70°C/158°F. It is recommended that you run the dishwasher on a light-duty or normal cycle. Do not wash humidifier parts with soiled articles/dishes.

DO NOT USE DETERGENTS. If you use your dishwasher to clean the following parts you will not need to follow the disinfecting and scaling procedure.

Please Note: Do not place parts on the lower rack of the dishwasher. Using the lower rack could cause damage to the humidifier parts and dishwasher.

THE MAIN HOUSING, DEMINERALIZATION CARTRIDGE, AND WATER HOSE ARE NOT DISHWASHER SAFE.

Placing these parts in the dishwasher will damage your humidifier and render it unable to operate properly.

CLEANING: HUT-220 Series (continued)

Scale Removal directions:

For tough stains, soak the hose in a bowl of white household vinegar for 30 minutes and rinse with warm water while flexing and crushing the soft hose to loosen any debris. Clean and wipe dry with a hand cloth.

Note: You can place the top housing in the dishwasher if you choose.

Note: For best cleaning results hose should be soaked in the base and then rinsed with clean, cool water until the smell of vinegar is gone. With your unit un-assembled, proceed to the disinfecting instructions.

CLEANING: HUT-220 Series (continued)

Disinfecting directions: Disinfect following scale removal

NOTE: USING MORE THAN 1 TB OF BLEACH PER GALLON OF WATER WILL RESULT IN DAMAGE TO YOUR HUMIDIFIER.

Note: For best cleaning results hose should be soaked in the base and then rinsed with clean, cool water until the smell of bleach is gone.

RE-ASSEMBLING: HUT-220 Series

Note: Please be careful of clothing, rugs, and other non-bleach-resistant materials when disinfecting. Spilling bleach on clothing, rugs, and certain surfaces may cause damage.

END-OF-SEASON CARE AND STORAGE

Follow the CLEANING instructions when the humidifier will not be used for at least one week or more, or at the end of the season.

At the end of the season, remove the demineralization cartridge and allow it to dry properly.

Note: If a demineralization cartridge has been used you should replace it with a new cartridge.

Dry the humidifier completely before storing it. DO NOT store water inside the main housing water reservoir or water tube.

Pack the unit in the original carton and store it in a cool, dry location. Install a new demineralization cartridge before the next use.

Operation

TROUBLESHOOTING

• Water is not flowing

1. Check to be sure there is water in the tank and that it is covering the pump.
2. Check the hose to be sure there are no kinks. The hose should be pushed fully onto both the demineralization cartridge and pump.
3. Make sure the pump is fully seated properly in the bottom of the tank.
4. Turn the unit off, then back on to help clear any air in the system.
5. If water still is not flowing, remove the pump, disassemble it, and make sure the pump wheel can spin freely and there is nothing blocking the pump inlet or demineralization cartridge inlet.

• Unit flows water but does not produce mist

1. Make sure the control is rotated fully clockwise.
2. Remove the mist nozzle and check to see if there is water inside the nebulizer chamber which is the pocket located next to the demineralization cartridge. If there is no water in the nebulizer chamber, you may need to replace your demineralization
   cartridge.

• The pump makes a swishing sound

1. The pump may have sucked in the air. Be sure there is enough water in the tank to cover the pump.
2. After filling, turn the unit off for a few seconds, then turn it back on to clear the system of air.

• The pump makes a whirring sound

1. The pump may not be properly seated. Be sure to push the pump fully into the tank. After seating the pump properly, turn the unit off for a few seconds, then turn it back on.
