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 module electrolyzes the water into strong
oxidizing ions which can kill airborne viruses and bacteria.
• There are 3 mist levels to select from – high, medium and low.
•You can set the timer to automatically turn off the humidifier
between 1 to 8 hours.
•The LED night light can be turned on or off.
• An aromatherapy oil or essential oil can be used to gently
perfume the room.
HOW TO USE

EN
HOW THE ELECTROLYSIS PROCESS WORKS
1. The water (H2O) is pushed up through the electrolysis module.
Water Electrolysis
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 viruses in the air, inhibiting their
growth and ability to reproduce.
Kills up to 92.19% of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538 bacteria
in 10m3test chamber when tested at 120V 60Hz, while running
for 2 hours at the flow rate of 28.3 L/min.
Kills up to 99.99% of Influenza A virus H1N1(ATCC VR-1469) &
Influenza Avirus H3N2(ATCC VR-1679) in 3m3test chamber
when tested at 120V 60Hz, while running for 2 hours.

HOW TO USE
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.
