Note
Any additives, such as aroma fragrances should not be used in the water tank or base. These additives can cause cracks in the plastic of the humidifier and may affect performance. Any use of such additives voids the manufacturer’s warranty

• MODE 1 – Powers humidifier on and high mist setting
• MODE 2 – Low mist setting
• MODE 3 – Powers humidifier off

The illuminated LED around the power icon will illuminate when the unit is powered on.

HOW TO USE

• HIGH MIST SETTING
  Operation for fast humidification of small to medium-sized rooms. The high-speed operation will evaporate approximately 1.4 gallons of water in 24 hours of continuous operation. (This assumes room conditions of 70º F and 30% relative humidity.)
  
  
• LOW MIST SETTING
  Operation for quiet, nighttime use or smaller rooms. On Low operation, your humidifier may run without refilling for extended periods.
  TIP: Lower the mist setting or turn off the humidifier if moisture forms on walls or windows.

  When the humidifier detects a low water level, the Power Button LED will flash red to indicate the water tank needs to be refilled before automatically powering off. Refill the tank and power the humidifier back on to resume operation.

CLEANING

Proper cleaning is essential to the air quality and performance of your humidifier. The frequency in which your humidifier will need to be cleaned will vary depending on use, water hardness, and outside environmental factors.

It is recommended, assuming average use, to thoroughly clean weekly or when algae, mineral deposits, or other particles begin to form. If the humidifier is turned off with water in the base and not turned back on for 8 hours or longer, or if the humidifier is not cleaned as recommended, you may experience some growth of algae or bacteria. These microorganisms may become airborne.

NOTE: Do not use gasoline, thinners, solvents, or other chemicals for cleaning.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Turn the humidifier off, and unplug it from the wall.
2. Remove the water tank and empty the tank and any remaining water in the base
3. On occasion, the water tank may need to be gently wiped down or cleaned to remove the buildup of impurities. Clean with a mild detergent and rinse with clean tap water.
4. Clean the base using a soft cloth or the cleaning brush (included) with a mild detergent and rinse with clean tap water. Do not submerge the base in water.
5. Locate the ultrasonic disk underneath the mist spout in the base. Use the cleaning brush to gently clean the disk. Do not scrub or scrape the ultrasonic disk. Do not clean the ultrasonic disk with any other tool than the provided cleaning brush.
6. Wipe the outer surface of the unit with a soft, damp cloth if needed.

STORAGE

During the off-season or after extended periods of non-use, you may choose to store your humidifier. To ensure the long life of the product, it is recommended to store your humidifier by following these instructions:
TIP: Cleaning is recommended before storage.

1. Unplug the power cord and bundle it loosely.
2. Let the humidifier dry completely before storing. Do not store water inside the water tank or base.
3. Cover, or place back in retail carton if available. This will prevent the humidifier from accumulating dust over time.
4. Store the humidifier in a cool and dry location.

Disposal: Dispose of all packaging materials in an environmentally responsible manner
