IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Thank you for purchasing a CRANE Ultrasonic Cool/Warm Mist Humidifier. Each unit has
been manufactured to ensure safety and reliability. Before using 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 of
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 Water 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 Water Tank Cap is firmly tightened on Water Tank. Always have
the Mist Lid in place while the unit is operating. Place the humidifier so the mist
aims away from children, walls, furniture and electrical appliances.
6. Use only a 110-120VAC outlet. ALWAYS plug and unplug unit with dry hands
to avoid electric shock.
7. Never operate the unit with a damaged cord or plug.
8. Always place the unit on a smooth, flat, lint-free, non-metallic, waterproof and
level surface and position unit 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 or essential oils into the Water 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 when humidifier is being operated.
11.When cleaning the inside of the humidifier, keep water away from the Fan Vent.
Turn off and unplug the humidifier to wipe the exterior (except the electrical
controls) with a damp cloth. Humidifier requires regular cleaning. Please refer to
the CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS in this manual.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, fire or serious personal injury. The warnings,
cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible
conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the user that
common sense and caution are a factor which cannot be built into this product, but must
be supplied by the user.
Do not let your child play with this appliance. Serious injury and
electrocution might be possible. This humidifier has to be operated by an adult only.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the humidifier.
SAVE ALL INSTRUCTIONS!
CAUTION: A short Power Supply Cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal

HUMIDIFIER FEATURES
CRANE’S CLEAN CONTROL
Anti-microbial Material: Proven to help reduce mold and bacteria growth up to 99.96%
in the humidifier base*
*EMSL Test Report 151305654. Reduction of mold and bacteria is based on independent laboratory testing.
EMSL report 151305654 results are based on the reduction of the bacteria in the humidifier base with Clean
Control material, during continuous use. The humidifier base showed a reduction rate up to 99.96% of Gram
Negative – Pseudomonas Aeruginosa after 8 hours.
WARM AND COOL MIST
You can select a warm mist or cool mist with this humidifier.
Humidifiers add moisture to the air, which helps ease coughing and congestion due to a
cold, and relief from dry skin, chapped lips, and dry eyes. Warm mist and cool mist
humidifiers are equally effective in humidifying the air.
•Warm Mist heats the water emitting a warm mist.
•Cool Mist emits a cool mist and will not drastically affect room temperature.
ULTRASONIC HUMIDIFIER
This is an Ultrasonic humidifier. The humidifier uses a metal diaphragm vibrating at an
ultrasonic frequency, much like the element in a high-frequency stereo speaker to create
mist. An ultrasonic humidifier is whisper quiet and produces a fine mist into the room.
REMOTE CONTROL
This Digital Humidifier includes a Remote Control that can be used to operate your
device. Simply pull the small plastic tab before use to activate.
OPERATION AND USE
BEFORE EACH USE
CHECK HUMIDIFIER PLACEMENT
Place the Humidifier on an elevated, non-metallic, lint-free, waterproof, level surface at
least 2 feet above the floor.
•DO NOT place the humidifier on carpet or a towel. The fan vent is located on the
bottom of the humidifier base. The fan vent MUST NOT be obstructed.
•DO NOT place the humidifier on a wood surface or near furniture that can be
damaged by too much moisture.
CHECK WATER LEVEL SENSOR
Make sure that the Water Level Sensor is secured properly and not obstructed. See page
10 for more troubleshooting.
DO NOT operate the humidifier without water in the Water Tank.
DO NOT plug or unplug the Power Cord with wet hands as electric
shock could occur.
DO NOT USE ANY ADDITIVES IN THE WATER
Additives – such as oils, fragrances, or vapor/steam medications – cannot be added to
the water. This humidifier is not made to take additives. Any use of additives will void
the manufacturer’s warranty.

ASSEMBLY
ALWAYS use fresh cool water when operating the humidifier.
1. Turn Water Tank upside down and unscrew Water Tank Cap.
2. Fill Water Tank with cool water. DO NOT fill water all the way to the rim.
DO NOT CARRY FULL WATER TANK BY HANDLE.
ALWAYS HOLD FULL WATER TANK WITH TWO HANDS.
DO NOT use hot water. Use cool tap water.
DO NOT add any medication, essential oils, or salt.
DO NOT pour water into Mist Outlet Channel.
3. Screw Water Tank Cap back onto Water Tank. Turn the Water Tank over and
place on Water Base, making sure it fits perfectly.
Note: Do not attempt to move the humidifier while Water Tank is placed on
Water Base. Doing so may cause leakage of water and/or Water Base to overfill.
4. Plug the power cord into a wall socket and turn on the unit by using the Control
Knob.
5. Use the Digital Control Panel to select the mode of your choice. The blue Power
Indicator Light will illuminate. In a few seconds, mist will start emitting.
6. Use the Digital Control Panel to adjust the intensity of the mist output.
SET THE CORRECT HUMIDITY OUTPUT: Adjust the Digital Control Panel so that
the mist rises up to be absorbed by the room air. Do not set the mist output too
high, as the mist cannot be absorbed by the air and may accumulate on the surfaces
around the humidifier.
7. When the humidifier runs out of water, the humidifier will automatically shut off
and the mist will stop. The Low Water Indicator Light will illuminate red. This
safety feature uses a water level sensor to stop the Nebulizer once the water
level sinks below the required level in the Humidifier Base.
Note: The indicator light on the humidifier will remain on. The red light
indicates that the humidifier is turned on and needs to be refilled.

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.
