How To Use Your Venta-Sonic Humidifier
IMPORTANT!
Place unit on a level, elevated (at least one foot high), flat surface away from direct
sunlight. Keep cord away from heated surfaces and areas where it could be walked on
or tripped over.
1 Fill Water Tank.
Turn off humidifier and unplug the power cord from A/C outlet. Remove tank from
base. Turn upside down and unscrew filling cap. Fill tank with clean, cool, distilled,
filtered, or tap water. Do not attempt to fill unit through Vapor Nozzle. Water temper-
ature should NEVER be too hot or too cold. Extreme temperatures can damage the
unit. Tighten filling cap firmly. Return tank to base and let it sit for a few minutes. For
first time use or when replacing the demineralization cartridge filter, please soak the
filter in warm water for several minutes.
2 Turn Unit On.
Plug power cord into a 110-120V AC outlet only. Turn power switch (POWER ON/OFF,
SPRAY CONTROLLER) on (turn clockwise). Power light will illuminate. A green light
indicates “cold mist” operation and a “red” light indicates “warm mist” operation. You
may change from cold mist to warm mist and vice versa by pressing the selector
switch (WARM MIST) in the bottom center of the control panel. Aim nozzle away from
furniture and walls. Mist may take a few minutes to be visible.

Caring For Your Venta-Sonic Humidifier
WARNING! Always turn humidifier off and unplug power cord from A/C outlet before
cleaning!
When to Clean Your Humidifier
IClean your humidifier weekly or more often during heavy use, depending on your
individual water quality. Clean your humidifier before storing and after long periods
of storage.
IWhen cleaning inside of unit, keep water away from the air outlet. Exterior may be
wiped with a damp cloth when unit is off and unplugged.
Cleaning the Oscillator and Water Sensor
ITurn off the unit and unplug the power cord. Remove tank from base and empty
reservoir in base. Use cleaning brush provided in base to clean off mineral deposits
and sediment from oscillator and water sensor. Do not scrape or clean with tools
that have metal parts. Be careful to not damage the surface of the oscillator.
ATTENTION: Damage to the oscillator may cause the unit to not work properly.
IThe oscillator (ultrasonic transducer) is highly sensitive. Keep this important part
clean and treat gently. Do not touch the oscillator while the unit is operating.
IDo not use soap, cleaning agents, detergents, or other chemicals for cleaning the
tank and humidifier.
IAfter cleaning fill water tank (see instructions above) and return tank to base.
Storing the Venta-Sonic
Switch off and unplug power cord from A/C outlet. Empty remaining water from base
and tank. Clean tank and unit (see for instructions above). Make sure all parts are
thoroughly dry—allow at least 24 hours to dry. Leave the filling cap of the tank
loosened. This will keep the cap and gasket from sticking together. Pack Venta-Sonic
in original packaging and store in a cool and dry place.

Finding the Ideal Humidity Level for Your Home
Controlling the Level of Humidity
ISelect the desired humidity by turning the HUMIDITY CONTROLLER (hygrostat
button). Turn the button to the right if high humidity is desired, and turn it to the left
for low humidity. The humidifier stops operating when the desired humidity is
reached. It restarts when the humidity is lower than the setting. When the button
is turned (clockwise) all the way to continuous the unit will continue to operate until
the water tank is empty and then shuts off automatically.
IAim for 40-55% relative humidity. Humidity will vary from room to room so adjust
accordingly. If windows and walls fog or frost, reduce mist intensity.
IIf a room is too humid, ventilate it by opening a door or window, and adjust mist
intensity. High levels of humidity can allow moisture to collect and harm furniture
and walls, especially wallpaper. It can also encourage bacterial and fungal growth.
Vapor Spray Controller (Power ON/OFF)
IYou can select the amount of vapor by turning the SPRAY CONTROLLER button.
To increase vapor output turn to the right (clockwise) and for lower vapor output
turn to the left.
IIf you turn this button all the way to the left until you hear a click, you have turned
off the unit. The LED Power light is off.
Demineralization Cartridge
IThe Venta-Sonic humidifier is equipped with a new demineralization filter cartridge.
This cartridge was especially developed for the Venta-Sonic humidifier and is the
next generation technology. A new nano-silver technology which provides microbial
protection renders ionic silver sticks unnecessary. The filter housing contains a
protective nano-silver material that helps prevent bacterial growth, calcium, and
lime build-up.
IReplace the demineralization filter cartridge every 2-3 months or earlier, depending
on your individual water quality and usage of the Venta-Sonic. Soak the cartridge in
warm water for several minutes before installing it in the unit.
