5
5. Use the Control Knob to adjust the intensity
of the mist output.
6. When the humidifier runs out of water, the
BLUE power light will turn off, and the mist
ouput will stop. This safety feature uses a
water level sensor to stop the heating
element once the water level sinks below the
required level in the humidifier base. A
small ORANGE light will turn on (light will
appear near the “2” on Control Knob) to
indicate that the humidifier has automatically turned off. Turn the humidifier off and
unplug before removing and refilling the Water Tank.

the unit has overheated, a small RED light will turn on (light will appear near the “2” on

unplug the unit, allow humidifier base and water to cool then empty water in humidifier
base. Turn humidifier base over and press the Reset Button, with a pen or pencil tip, on

A NOTE ABOUT HUMIDITY
ꢀ
ꢀ
It is best to keep the humidity level at about 40%-50% of relative humidity.
In cold weather, windows and even some walls may fog or develop frost from
excessive indoor humidity. If this occurs, reduce the mist output setting to avoid
damage from condensed water dripping onto windowsills.
ꢀ
ꢀ
Too much humidity in the room may allow moisture to accumulate on surfaces where
bacteria and fungi can grow. Moisture that gathers may also damage furniture and
walls, especially wallpaper.
To reduce excessive humidity, especially in small rooms, leave the room door open
and adjust the mist intensity control setting.
MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT: Failure to keep this humidifier clean from mineral deposits normally
contained in any water supply will affect the efficiency of the operation. Customer
failure to follow these instructions may void warranty
DO NOT leave water in Water Tank or Humidifier Base when unit is not in use as it may
result in the buildup of mineral deposits and bacteria that can inhibit the output
efficiency of the humidifier. If water remains in the Water Tank for more than a day or
two, bacterial growth is possible.

2. Empty water from the water tank and humidifier base daily.
