TROUBLESHOOTING

TROUBLE PROBABLE CAUSE SOLUTION

•Power light not illuminated. ☛ Unit not plugged in. ✔ Plug in Unit.

•Crack in Tank. ☛ Hot water will cause tank to pressurize.

☛ Tanks will crack if hit or dropped.

✔ Fill with cool water only.

✔ Handle tank with Care.

•Film on tank. ☛ Mineral deposits. ✔ Clean/disinfect tank as instructed in

weekly cleaning instructions.

•Fan on, but no Mist. ☛ Setting too low.

☛ Might be running out of water.

✔ Switch to High setting.

✔ Fill tank with cool water.

•Appearance of minerals or

"white dust"

☛ Tap water contains minerals that

collect inside your humidifier.

When the minerals are released

into the air they often appear as

white dust on your furniture.

✔ Use distilled water in your humidifier.

This will help reduce the precipitation

of minerals or `white dust'.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Question Answer

• What are the variables that affect

run time? The estimated run time for this humidifier is based on average room conditions. The

actual run time of your humidifier is dependent on numerous variables such as:

✔ Air exchange in the room where the humidifier is placed.

✔ Room construction of the room where the humidifier is placed.

✔ Temperature of the room where the humidifier is placed.

✔ Humidity levels in the room where the humidifier is placed.

✔ Movement of occupants and the opening and closing of doors in the

room where the humidifier is placed.

✔ Home furnishings in the room where the humidifier is placed.

• How do I remove film on water tank? ✔ See Daily Maintenance instructions. Regular cleaning is recommended.

• How can I extend the run time? ✔ Run your unit on the lowest setting.

✔ If your unit has electronics, set it to your desired humidity level. The

unit will turn on and off, which will extend the run time.

✔ Fill the tank all the way full, place it on the base, let the water empty

into the base until it stops bubbling, then refill the tank full again.

This ensures maximum water capacity and will extend run time.
