DEAR CUSTOMER
ThankyouforpurchasingtheIonmaxIon90HybridUVHumidier.TheIon90reintroducesmoistureinto
the air to help you maintain a comfortable humidity level in your home. Utilising a combination of UV
LED and Bio-photocatalyst technology, the Ion90 sterilises and deodorises the air before allowing it to
emit clean, pure mist.
Please read this manual carefully to ensure proper usage and save these instructions for

GENERAL INFORMATION
What is Humidity?
Humidity is the amount of dampness or water vapor in the air.
What is Relative Humidity (RH)?
The Relative Humidity is the relative ratio of the amount of dampness or water vapor in the air, at a
specictemperature,tothemaximumamountthattheaircouldholdatthetemperature,expressedas
a certain percentage.
What are the consequences of low humidity levels to the human body?
When a person is exposed to low humidity levels, his or her hydration levels will be reduced and many
negative bodily symptoms either occur or are aggravated.
Some of the common symptoms include:
•Blocked,stuffedorrunningnose
•Electrostaticshocks
•Fatigue,sleeplessnessandpoorconcentration
•InfectionsandillnessesofourrespiratorysystemlikeAsthma
•DryskindiseaselikeEczema
What is the desired Relative Humidity Level?
A comfortable atmosphere indoors between 60% to 70% relative humidity is the recommended level.
•Difficultyinbreathing
•Dry,scalyandchappedskin
•Soreanddrythroat
•Soreanddryeyes

for Good Indoor Air Quality
Why use Ultrasonic Technology for humidication?
Ultrasonic Technology is an extremely effective and economical method of maintaining and
moderating the relative humidity level in the surrounding air. Ultrasonic Technology works in soundless
operationandcreateshighoscillationsandvibrationsthattransformwaterintonevaporizedmist.The
mist is then dispersed into the surrounding air to add humidity into the air.
How does the IONMAX Humidier ION90 work?
WhenwaterispouredintotheWaterTank,itowsintotheWater Reservoir. Here, the water comes in
contact with the ultrasonic resonator called the Nebulizer. The Nebulizer vibrates in a rapid speed of up
toonemilliontimespersecond.Thishigh-speedvibrationcausesthewatertobreakupintominutene
droplets that then pass through the Mist Outlet to increase the humidity level in the room effectively.
FEATURES
AUTO MODE
When set to , the IONMAX Humidier ION90 will automatically adjust the level of mist volume to
accomodate the surrounding humidity level till it reaches the DESIRED relative humidity. The desired
humidity level is between 50% and 65% RH.

UV BIO-PHOTOCATALYST STERILIZATION AND DEODORIZATION
Relyingonthefanoutlettodelivermist,IONMAXHumidierION90usesacombinationofUVLEDandBio-
Photocatalyst to constantly sterilize and deodorize the air before allowing it to blow out clean, pure mist.
The combination of bio material and photocatalyst acts as an environmental friendly oxidizing agent
when activated by ultraviolet ray. When the photocatalyst captures ultraviolet light, it forms activated
oxygen from water or oxygen in the air. The formed activated oxygen effectively decomposes smelly
particles to achieve maximum deodorization and sterilization effects.

DEMINERALIZATION FILTER
When water goes through the Demineralization Filter, it is restructured at an ionic level and the dissolved
mineral salts and other additives are removed, thereby softening the water. This aids in reducing mineral

USING THE IONMAX HUMIDIFIER
Ensure that the power cord is removed from the power supply at all times during installation,
relling of water, maintenance and transportation.
OPERATING NOTICE
Remove the unit from all packaging. Check and ensure
thattherearenoforeignobjectsinsidetheWater Tank and
Water Reservoir.
Remove the Water Tankfromthebaseandllitwithclean,
tepid or cool water from the tap. NOTE: DO NOT use water
above 40°C.
Empty water from base.
Fasten the cap of the Water Tank snugly and place it back
onto the Humidier Base. Please note that whenever a
lledWater Tank is placed onto the Humidier Base, the
sound of gurgling water is normal. This happens when water
is travelling from the Water Tank into the Water Reservoir.

Select a stable surface to situate the unit. Plug the power
cord into the power supply and switch on. A beep signal
will be heard. Press the “POWER” button and the unit
will commence operation in mode. Read more on the
“FEATURES” section to understand the various functions
of IONMAX Humidier ION90. To power off, press the
“POWER” button again.
Please note that the unit might stop from time to time if:
1) The programmed relative humidity is met.
2) There is a shortage of water supply.
3) There is a disruption of power supply.
Step 5:
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Recommended Maintenance
ItisrecommendedtocleanandmaintaintheIONMAXHumidierION90at
least once a week.
Before you start:
- DO NOT use any detergents, solvents or aggressive agents to clean the unit.
- DO NOT use brushes or cloths that are abrasive or might cause scratches
or damage to the unit.
- DO NOT allow water to sit in the tank for more than 1 week.
To Clean The Body Casing
TheIONMAXHumidierION90shouldalwaysbe regularly maintained and
cleaned. For external maintenance, regularly use a damp cloth to wipe the
surface to prevent the accumulation of dust.
To Clean The Water Tank
Remove sediments or scale buildup by shaking the Water Tank vigorously
afterrellingtheWater Tank. Pour out the water and wipe the internal tank
thoroughly with a soft cloth.
To Clean The Water Reservoir
Pour water away from the Water Reservoir as shown in the picture. DO NOT
let water get into the Fan Outlet. Remove sediments or scale buildup inside
the Water Reservoir by using a damp cloth to wipe the surface.
IMPORTANT
1) When the Nebulizer is not regularly cleaned, the efciency of the unit will be
compromised or even damaged depending on the severity.
2) DO NOT clean the Nebulizer with any solvents or aggressive agents.
3) DO NOT scratch or rub the surface of the Nebulizer with a sharp article.
STORING GUIDE
TokeeporstoretheIONMAXHumidierION90,ensurethatwateristhoroughlydrained,removedand

Condensation
Occasionally, water may pool at the base of the unit due to condensation build-up which may make the
unit to appear to be leaking. This can occur when the air temperature drops as warm air holds more
water than cold air.
Switching from cool to warm mist increases the air temperature slightly. Reduce the humidity settings to
prevent too much moisture from being created.
