Combined function of the humidifier
With the help of an installed heater, water in the water tank is heated and transferred through the
atomizer to produce a warm mist. Efficiency for humidifying will be increased with the help of the
combined humidifier. The surrounding temperature will not be reduced due to the warm mist.
• It takes approximately ten to twenty minutes to start emitting the warm mist. (The time needed for the
heater to warm up the water)
• The average temperature for the warm mist is 40 degrees. It is sometimes difficult to detect the mist
temperature due to the difference in surrounding temperature and humidity
Stopping Operation
1. Press the “Power” button, the music is on, the
indicator light of the display screen will turn off
and the operation is stopped.

with a towel when lifting it up to avoid wetting the floor or furniture.
• Please make sure not to drop or knock the water tank when adding water. The water tank will be
broken and leak if it is subjected to misuse.
Attention
• There will be some water scaling in the water slot or atomizer after a period of operation. Continuous
use of the device in this case may result in abnormal operation or malfunction. Please make sure to
clean the water slot and atomizer once or twice a week and try to always use this device under clean
conditions.
• Please change water in the tank every day, and make sure to maintain it regularly.
Consumable Parts
Ion Exchange Filter
White powder in the mist may be deposited on surrounding objects. These 'white powder' deposits are
calcium and magnesium compounds found in ordinary tap water. Although they are not harmful, they may
cause adverse effects and adhere to furniture. By means of an ion exchange filter, calcium and magnesium
from the tap water are removed and in turn reduced the production of white powder.
An ion exchange filter (removable type, installed at the bottom of the water tank) may stain the water in the
trough to the colour of tea at the beginning of operation. This has no effect on safety or performance. However,
you can pour out the water if you wish and continue operation.
Filter replacement
The useful life of the ion exchange filter is about 400 litres. Continual use after its lifetime will lower its
capability to remove the hardness components (calcium and magnesium) in tap water. As a result, there will
be an increased build-up of scale.
The standard period of filter change is about 180 days under
automatic mode of operation (heating - humidifying operation
time of about 6 hours every day).
• Based on different frequency of use and quality of
water, the time for changing the filter may be reduced.
Please pay attention to the appearance of white powder
deposits
• An ion exchange filter is installed on the water tank.
When you change the filter, you should remove the
cover by turning it anticlockwise, remove the filter by
also turning it anticlockwise from the water tank. Now
you can install the new filter by turning clockwise
according to the diagram on the right. Finally you can
screw the ion exchange filter at the bottom of the tank
by screwing it clockwise.
• Please contact your distributor or authorized service
centre if you need to purchase a new ion exchange
filter.
