HOW TO USE
BEFORE FIRST USE
• Remove all packaging from the appliance.
• Unpack all parts and check for damage that may have occurred
during transport. If any parts are damaged or missing, do not
use the appliance and return it to your retail outlet immediately.
MAX
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR HUMIDIFIER
• The humidifier holds 4L of water, which provides 33 to 67 hours
of humidifying action (depending on the mist level you select).
• The electrolysis sterilization module electrolyzes the water into
strong oxidizing ions which can kill airborne viruses, germs and
bacteria*. It is a safe and gentle way to disinfect and sterilize
your environment.
• There are 3 mist levels to select from – high, medium and low.
• You can set the timer to automatically turn o the humidifier
between 1 to 8 hours.
• An aromatherapy oil or essential oil can be used to gently
perfume the room.

HOW THE STERILIZATION PROCESS WORKS
1. The water (H2O) is pushed up through the electrolysis
sterilization module.
Water Electrolysis
sterilization module
2. Through electrolysis the water is ionized and the chemical
structure of the water is changed into strong oxidizing hydroxyl
radicals (-OH, [O], H+, OH-) that are released into the air via the
mist nozzle. Once released into the air, the strong oxidized ions
breakdown the DNA/RNA of germs, viruses and pathogens
in the air, inhibiting their growth and ability to reproduce.
Killing up to 99.9% of H1N1 & H3N2 Influenza A virus, and
killing over 92% of germs & bacteria including Escherichia coli
& Staphylococcus aureus, leaving your environment virtually

SETTING UP THE HUMIDIFIER
1. Lift o and remove the mist nozzle, water tank cover and mist
condenser stopper.
2. Insert the mist condenser into the mist tube making sure the
UP mark is facing upwards.
NOTE: At the base of the mist tube, water pressure is created
by an ultrasonic atomizer that forces the water upwards to the
top of the mist tube. The mist condenser sits at the top of the
water level in the mist tube and its innovative design changes
the pressurized water into the fine mist that is released through
the mist nozzle. For the mist condenser to work properly, it
must be inserted correctly.
3. Fill the water tank with tap water (no warmer than room
temperature). The tank takes approximately 4L of water. Do
not fill with water above the MAX mark on the water tank or on
the water inlet. Make sure you do not pour water over the mist
tube. Pour it in the water inlet area.
NOTE:
Do not add any sanitizer to the water. Only use tap water in this
humidifier. Do not use distilled water.
4. Reassemble the mist condenser stopper, water tank cover and
mist nozzle.
NOTE: Find a location for the humidifier where the bottom and
sides of the appliance are at least 20 inches away from the
floor, walls, bedding, curtains, furniture, and other objects. Also,
make sure that the top of the humidifier is at least 50 inches of
space above the appliance and that it is at least 80 inches away
from other household electrical appliances, such as a TV.
