“Operating” indicator will turn on. Mist will not appear immediately; allow up to
15 minutes for the Base of the humidier to ll.

automatically. With the unit turned OFF, press the “Preset” button once; you will
see 01:00 illuminated on the display. The unit will start to countdown and then
turn On. This feature works in 1 hour increments and is programmable up to 24
hours.

Weekly Cleaning & Care
CAUTION: Before cleaning always turn power off and unplug the unit from outlet.
DO NOT use any solvents or aggressive cleaning agents. Keep water away from the Air Out-
let. 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 humidier. The mineral residue is commonly called
“white dust”. The higher the mineral content (the harder your water is), the greater the poten-
tial for white dust. The white dust is not caused by a defect in the humidier, but is due only
to minerals suspended in the water. If you have hard tap water we recommend using only
ltered, distilled, cold boiled or bottled water to minimize the white dust residue.
Tank Cleaning - 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 ll the Base with
enough solution to cover the Ultrasonic Nebulizer (a).
Allow it to soak for an hour and thenuse the provided
brush to gently loosen buildup on the
Ultrasonic Nebulizer (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 Humidier Base. Remove the
Tank Cap (c) and rinse Water Filter thoroughly with
tap water, then replace on Water Tank (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 (e). If water is poured
into the outlet it may damage the humidier.
Storage
1. Follow all cleaning instructions prior to storage.
2. Dry all parts, including the inside of the Water Tank.
Never leave water inside the tank for several days.
3. Leave the tank cap partially loosened to prolong the life of the cap.

5. Follow all cleaning instructions after long periods of storage.
