B. Humidier operates too fast, fuse blows:
Overboiling, ickering lights, blown fuse or heavy steam ow generally indicates one of the following causes:
1. Too much salt was added to the water. To correct the condition:
I. Disconnect the humidier from the electrical outlet and allow to cool.
II. Pour out the water and rinse the tank. Rinse steam unit as described in weekly maintenance. Rell
with fresh water but do not add salt. If humidier now does not operate or steams too slowly, follow
the instructions in “Initial Setup and Operation”.
2. You live in a “hard water” area and minerals in the tap water are causing the humidier to steam too
rapidly. To correct the condition:
I. Disconnect the humidier from the electrical outlet and allow to cool.
II. Remove steam unit allowing hot water to rst dribble out, then pour out water and rinse the tank.
Rinse steam unit as described in the weekly maintenance section. Rell with fresh water but do not
add salt.
III. If unit still steams too rapidly, use 1/2 distilled water and 1/2 tap water.
IV. In “hard water” areas it is advisable to clean the unit every few days in accordance with the weekly
maintenance instructions.
C. Humidier is making crackling / buzzing / humming sounds or water container is
unusually hot:
1. You may have added too much salt. See section B above.
2. You may live in a “hard water” area. See section B above.
3. This condition can happen when the water level in the tank is low. Disconnect the humidier from the
electrical outlet, allow to cool, remove steam unit allowing hot water to rst dribble out. Fill the tank with
tap water to MAX water level marking.
4. This may be an indication your humidier needs cleaning. Refer to weekly maintenance under“Cleaning

A. Humidier does not operate or steams too slowly:
1. Make sure the humidier is plugged in and the power light is on.
2. If the power light is not on, you may have a blown fuse, tripped a circuit breaker, or a defective electrical
outlet. Try a different outlet or check your breaker or fuse in the house.
3. The fault may be low mineral content in the water. To rectify:
I. Unplug the humidier from the electrical outlet and allow to cool.
II. Remove the tank allowing water to rst dribble out, then add 1/16th teasponful of salt, with the
included spoon, to the water and mix thoroughly. Ensure salt is level with the top of the spoon. Do
not mound salt in spoon.
III. Replace the steam unit and plug in the humidier. It should steam within 5 minutes. If it does not, add
1 more 1/16th of a teaspoon of salt. Do not exceeed 1/8th of a teaspoon since too much salt can
cause excessive boiling or blowing of fuse.
4. If the humidier has been operating normally and is now failing to steam, it may need to be cleaned.
