Problem Possible cause Solution
HumidAire is not working
and there is no On/Off
(green) light or heater
(orange) light.
Power cord is not connected
properly.
HumidAire is not switched on.
Power outlet may be faulty.
Check that the power cord is
plugged in firmly.
Switch on main switch at rear of
unit.
Try another power outlet.
The orange heater light does
not light up.
HumidAire has a rapid heating
element and efficient design
which allow very short heating
times, so do not be concerned if
the orange light only flashes on
very briefly.
To confirm that the heater plate
is working, remove the water
chamber, turn the dial up to 8
and hold your hand 1cm above
the heater plate. The orange light
should come on, and after a
minute, you should feel some
heat. If not, contact your
supplier.
The air does not feel hot. The HumidAire adds humidity
to the air without heating it up,
so you may not feel any added
warmth.
The water chamber is leaking. Lid may not be on correctly
(seal may be twisted, or catches
not engaged properly).
Lid could be damaged or
cracked.
Press the lid down firmly and
ensure that the seal is seated
properly and all three catches
are engaged.
Contact your supplier for a
replacement lid.

I poured water through the
HumidAire accidentally.
Unplug the HumidAire from the
power and allow it to dry.
No air flow is coming
through.
The air tubes are loose or have
become disconnected.
The air tube is pinched in the
HumidAire lid.
Check that the air tubes are
connected properly to the flow
generator and the water
chamber connector pipes.
Free the air tube. Check carefully
for any small punctures or holes.
Water is splashing into my
mask.
The water chamber is overfilled.
The control dial is set too high,
and condensation is forming in
the air tube and mask.
Empty some water from the
water chamber.
Turn the control dial down.
