SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the
risk of re, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:
1. Only designed for use in a 240V AC electrical outlet.
2. Intended for indoor household use only.
3. Always place the unit on a rm, at and level surface at least 60cm above the oor.
4. Keep the unit out of reach from children. Do not use the unit in a closed room, particularly where a
child may be sleeping, resting or playing.
5. Do not leave the cord under a rug. Keep the unit and cord away from heat sources such as stoves,
radiators, and heaters.
6. Place the unit on an inside wall near an electrical outlet and at least 10cm away from the wall for
best results.
7. Do not allow the moisture outlet to directly face a wall or furniture. Moisture could cause damage,
particularly to wallpaper.
8. Do not handle the unit, plug or cord with wet hands.
9. Always switch off and unplug the unit before attempting to move it or remove or rell its water tank.
10.Always unplug the unit when not in use.
11. Do not block the air outlet (under base of unit) or place anything over the moisture outlet when the
unit is running.
12.Do not operate the unit with a damaged cord a plug, after a malfunction or if it has been dropped or
damaged in any manner. Return it to the manufacturer for inspection and repair.
13.Do not attempt to repair or adjust any electrical or mechanical functions on this unit. Doing so will
void your warranty. All servicing should be performed by qualied personnel only.
14.Never use detergents, gasoline, glass cleaner, furniture polish, paint thinner or other household
solvents to clean any part of the humidier.
15.Do not pour water into any openings other than the water tank.
16.Excessive humidity in a room can cause water condensation on windows and some furniture. If this
happens, turn the humidier off.
17.Never place the main body under water ow or immerse in liquids.
18.Do not use essential oils with the unit as this can cause damage and void the warranty.
CORD AND PLUG INSTALLATION SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
The length of the cord on the unit was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in, or
tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used.
The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than that of the humidier.
Please take extra care to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.
PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Please ensure the unit is switched off and disconnected from the electrical outlet.
2. Place the unit on a at surface, about 60 cm above the oor and 10 cm away from the wall. Do not
place the unit on or near moisture-sensitive surfaces or furniture.
3. Fill up the water tank:
a. Remove the water tank by holding the handle and lifting it straight upward (g. 1).
b. Turn the water tank upside down and unscrew the tank cap by turning it counter clockwise. Fill
the tank with cool, fresh water.
Do not ll tank with warm water as this may cause leakage.
Do not use essential oils as this may damage the unit.
c. Replace the tank cap by turning it clockwise. Make sure it is properly tightened before replacing
the water tank onto the base. The water tank will immediately begin to empty into the base.
d. When relling the tank, remove any water from the base prior to reinstalling the water tank.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
In winter, the lack of humidity can dry out your skin and cause nasal irritation, frequent colds, sore
throats and other respiratory conditions. Humidiers provide relative humidity to protect our health.
To get the most benet from the humidier and avoid product failure, please follow all maintenance
instructions carefully. These steps are essential to prevent microorganisms from growing in the water
within the humidier.
A) Daily maintenance
1. Before cleaning, turn the power off and unplug the unit from its electrical outlet.
2. Remove the water tank from the base of the unit.
3. Carry the water tank to a sink, then drain and rinse the water tank thoroughly to remove any
sediment or dirt. Wipe clean and dry it with a clean soft cloth or paper towel.
4. Rell the water tank with cool tap water as instructed in the Pre-Operating Instructions.
B) Weekly maintenance
1. Repeat steps 1-3 above.
2. Pour one cup of white vinegar (about 200ml) into the base in the main body and leave for about
15 minutes. Then, wipe off the scale (especially in the transducer) with the soft brush.
3. Wipe off the scale and white vinegar solution using a clean soft cloth.
C) Maintenance caution
1. Never submerge the main body in water.
2. Do not use any solvents or aggressive cleaning agents to clean the unit.
3. Clean the internal parts with a soft cloth.
4. Use only the brush provided to clean the transducer. This should be done once a week.
5. Use only the soft bristle portion of the brush when cleaning.
6. Change the water in the water tank at least once a week to ensure that water is not left standing
more than one week.

1. Clean the unit as described above and dry thoroughly.
2. Preferably, store the unit in its original box.
3. Avoid exposing the unit to high temperatures.
E) Replacement of the lter cartridge (Optional)
Replace the lter cartridge every 6 months as follows:
1. Unplug the unit before removing the water tank. Do not touch the water in the main body during
operation.
