13. This machine has a safety switch. If the honeycomb lter support
has not been installed well, the unit will not work as usual; when
the machine is working, do not remove the honeycomb lter
frame.
14. At any time the water level in the tank shall not exceed “MAX”
(maximum) scale, and during humidication, the total water level
