4 Using the
humidifier
Understand the humidity
indication
The humidier is equipped with a built-in
humidity sensor. For HU4802, you can set the
target humidity level at 40%RH, 50%RH and
60%RH. The color of the humidity indicator
light shows whether the set target is reached
or not. For HU4803, the actual humidity level
is displayed on the center of the control panel
from 20%RH to 95%RH.
HU4802 HU4803
Note
• A comfortable humidity level is from 40RH% to 60RH%.
• The accuracy of the humidity indication is
approximately ±10%.
• It takes some time to measure the humidity level in
the room.

The humidity indicator light automatically goes
on when the humidier is switched on.
Note
• The humidity indicator light is only available on HU4802.
• The humidier is equipped with built-in humidity sensor.
When the desired humidity level is reached, the color
of the humidity indicator light is in blue. When the
humidity level is not reached, the color of the humidity
indicator light becomes red.
Understand the healthy air
protect alert and lock
The healthy air protect alert gives you a timely
warning when the water tank needs relling.
When the water in the tank starts getting low, a
red indicator on the control panel starts blinking
to tell you that it is time to rell the tank. It blinks
for 30 minutes. After that, the indicator remains on
before the water tank is relled with water.
The healthy air protect lock always ensures that
your humidier does not work without water
in the tank. When the water tank is empty and
needs to be relled, the healthy air protect lock
shuts off the humidier after 30 minutes and a
red indicator lights up. When you rell the water
tank properly, the humidier is turned on again.
Note
• In sleep mode, the red indicator does not blink, it turns
on when the water level is low.

8 Troubleshooting
This chapter summarizes the most common problems you could encounter with the humidier. If you are
unable to solve the problem with the information below, contact the Consumer Care Center in your country.
Problem Possible solution
Thehumidierdoesnotwork. • Make sure that there is power supply to the humidier.
• Make sure that the water tank is lled with water and the upper
unit is placed properly onto the water tank.
Thereisnoairhumidication. • Make sure that the water tank is lled with water and the upper
unit is placed properly onto the water tank.
• The humidier will stop working if the current humidity level
reaches 70%RH. Humidity level above 70%RH does not make
users feel comfortable, so the humidier automatically turns off
to ensure optimal humidication performance.
Thewatertankleaks. • Make sure that the humidier is not overlled with water.
• Make sure that the humidier is well assembled/connected
every time after you clean it or after you remove the upper unit
and/or water tank for relling.
• Make sure that the water tank is properly placed. If the problem
persists, contact the Consumer Care Center in your country.
