IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing our TALASSIO Ultrasonic Humidifier. Each unit has been
manufactured to ensure safety and reliability. Before using the humidifier for the first
time, please read the instructions carefully, and keep them for further reference.
WARNING! READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow all
the instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal
injury.
1. Do not carry water tank by handle when it is filled with water. It is
advisable to carry filled water tank with two hands.
2. DO NOT operate outdoors; this humidifier is intended for indoor use only.
3. Always have water in the water tank when operating the unit.
4. Use only clean, cool tap water to fill the tank (filtered or distilled water is
recommended to avoid white dust if tap water is too hard). DO NOT use hot water.
5. Be sure that the filling cap of the tank is firmly tightened. Always have the mist
direction nozzle and the mist chamber in place while the unit is operating. Place the
mist direction nozzle so it aims away from children, walls, furniture, and electrical
appliances.
6. Use only a 110-120VAC outlet. ALWAYS plug and unplug unit with dry hands.
7. Never operate the unit with a damaged cord or plug.
8. Always place the unit on a smooth, flat, level surface, and away from direct
sunlight. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces and areas where it could be
walked on or tripped over. Unplug the unit when not in use and whenever you
clean or move the unit.
9. Do not add medication of any type into the nozzle, base or water tank. Do not
cover any openings on the unit or insert objects into any openings.
10.The unit should not be left unattended in a closed room as the air could become
saturated and leave condensation on walls or furniture. Leave room door partly
open.
11.When cleaning the inside of the unit keep water away from the air outlet / fan vent
(see FIG.3). The exterior may be wiped with a damp cloth, except the electrical
controls, only when the unit is off and unplugged. Humidifier requires regular
cleaning. Refer to cleaning instructions.
12.Do not tilt or tip the unit or attempt to empty or fill it while it is in operation.
13.Do not use a detergent to clean any parts of the unit that contain water. Always
use a few drops of vinegar with water to clean humidifier. Detergent film dissolved
in the water supply can interfere with the output of the unit.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

OPERATION AND USE
BEFORE EACH USE
CHECK HUMIDIFIER PLACEMENT - Place the Humidifier on an elevated non-metallic
waterproof surface for best performance. This is to help disperse the mist in the air,
and prevent it from being knocked or tipped over.
CHECK WATER LEVEL SENSOR - Make sure that the water level sensor is secured
properly. Refer to “cleaning and maintaining water level sensor” on page 9 for
instructions on how to assemble water level sensor.
CHECK FAN VENT - This fan vent is located on the bottom of the humidifier. The
purpose of the Fan Vent is to blow the cool mist through the vapor outlet slots. It is
important that this part is kept clean and free of obstructions. We recommend checking
the fan vent before using this item (i.e. lint, paper)
Do not place Humidifier on top of a towel, or a carpeted surface. The air vent on
the bottom may become blocked, and overheat the humidifier.
CAUTION:
DO NOT operate the humidifier without water in the water tank.
DO NOT plug in the cord with wet hands; electric shock could happen

A NOTE ABOUT HUMIDITY
It is best to keep the humidity level at about 30-50 percent of relative humidity.
The comfort level of humidity will vary from room to room and with changing room
conditions.
In cold weather, windows and even some walls may fog or develop frost from
excessive indoor humidity. If this occurs, reduce the mist intensity setting to avoid
damage from condensed water dripping on 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 eliminate excessive humidity, especially in small rooms, leave the room door open
and adjust the mist intensity control setting.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the appliance is unplugged and switched OFF
before cleaning or attempting to store the item. NEVER PLUG OR
UNPLUG UNIT WITH WET HANDS.
DO NOT leave water in water tank or water basin when unit is not
in use as it may result in the build up of mineral deposits and
bacteria that can inhibit the output efficiency of the humidifier.
PLEASE NOTE that if water remains in the water tank for more
than a day or two, bacterial growth is possible.
ALWAYS use fresh cool water when using unit.
NOTE: When removing water tank, water may accumulate under vapor lid and on the
bottom of the water tank. It is recommended to have a dry cloth ready to dry wet
surfaces.
DISINFECTING THE WATER TANK AND WATER BASIN
1. Fill water tank with 1 teaspoon of household vinegar in 1 gallon of water. Let
stand twenty minutes, shaking vigorously with two hands every few minutes,
drain and rinse with clean water until the vinegar smell is gone. Dry with a clean
cloth or paper towel.
2. Wipe the water basin with a soft cloth dampened in the vinegar and water
solution. Rinse the water basin with cool water to remove any vinegar smell. DO
NOT IMMERSE WATER BASIN IN WATER.
3. Wipe all exteriors surfaces of the base with a soft, dry cloth. Do not immerse the
base in water or use water to clean the base. An electric shock may result or the
humidifier may be damaged.
NOTE: It is recommended to clean humidifier with water and vinegar solution as
stated above after using the humidifier the fourth time.

Make sure the tank, water basin and water tank cap are thoroughly dry before
storing.
If water is left in the unit during storage, it may evaporate completely and leave
deposits that can prevent the unit from operating properly.
Leave the water tank refill cap loose to prevent the water cap (see figure 4 on
page 4) and gasket from sticking together. This will prolong the life of the gasket.
