HOW ULTRASONIC WORKS:
An ultrasonic transducer atomizes water, producing
refreshing visible cool or warm mist. The temperature of
warm mist is between 86 ˚F (30 °C) - 104 ˚F (40 °C).
NOTE: A humidity level below 20% can be unhealthy
and uncomfortable. The humidifier should be placed in a
normal temperature environment 41 ˚F (5 °C) - 104 ˚F
(40 °C), otherwise, the humidifier may be destroyed in
the cold environment. The recommended humidity level is
between 40%-50%.
PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
