Cap not tight enough.
Tank water is Hot.
Remove tank cap and replace or
reposition ring.
Tighten the cap.

Appearance of minerals or
"white dust".
Tap water contains minerals that
collect inside your humidifier.

into the air they often appear as
white dust on your furniture.
Use distilled water in your
humidifier. This will help reduce the
precipitation of minerals or `white
dust'.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Question Answer
What are the variables that affect
run time?
The estimated run time for this humidifier is based on average room
conditions. The actual run time of your humidifier is dependent on
numerous variables such as:
Air exchange in the room where the humidifier is placed.
Room construction of the room where the humidifier is placed.
Temperature of the room where the humidifier is placed.
Humidity levels in the room where the humidifier is placed.
Movement of occupants and the opening and closing of doors in the
room where the humidifier is placed.
Home furnishings in the room where the humidifier is placed.
How do I remove film on water
tank?
See Daily Maintenance instructions. Regular cleaning is recommended.
How can I extend the run time?
Run your unit on the lowest setting.
If your unit has electronics, set it to your desired humidity level. The
unit will turn on and off, which will extend the run time.
Fill the tank all the way full, place it on the base, let the water empty
into the base until it stops bubbling, then refill the tank full again.
This ensures maximum water capacity and will extend run time.

available and may be used if care is exercised in their
use. If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension
cord is used on short-cord models:
a. The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-
supply cord or extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
b. When the product is of the grounded type, the
extension cord shall be a grounding type 3-wire cord;

FEATURES - OPERATIONS
PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Be sure the humidifier is switched off.
2. Select a location for your humidifier, on a flat level
surface about 4 inch away from the wall. DO NOT
place the humidifier on a finished floor or near
furniture, which can be damaged by too much
moisture or water. Place on a moisture resistant
surface.
3. Remove the tank from the main housing.
4. Bring the tank to the sink, turn upside down and
twist off the tank cap by turning counter clockwise.
Fill tank with cool, fresh tap water. DO NOT fill with
warm water as this may cause leaking. Replace the
cap on tank FIRMLY. The tank will hold 1/2 gallon of
water.
5. Place tank back on to the base. The tank will
immediately begin to empty into the base.
6. Plug the humidifier into a 120V electrical outlet.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. To turn the unit on, press the On/Off button. The unit
will begin on the High Setting, indicated with a green

overfill the transducer cavity. This may cause the
humidifier to function intermittently, or stop emitting
mist. Should this occur, simply remove the excess water
from the humidifier base.
IMPORTANT: If you do not plan to use your humidifier
for two or more days, make sure any residual water is
drained from the water tank and base to prevent any
algae or bacteria growth in stagnant water. Make sure
the tank is dry.
NOTE: To avoid white dust use only distilled water
especially if: A) you suffer from respiratory problems or
B) you live in an area where the water has a high
mineral content.

INSTRUCTIONS
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS:
A short power-supply cord or detachable power-supply
cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer
detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are
available and may be used if care is exercised in their
use. If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension
cord is used on short-cord models:
a. The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-
supply cord or extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
b. When the product is of the grounded type, the
extension cord shall be a grounding type 3-wire cord;
and
c. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not
drape over the counter top or table top where it can
be pulled on by children or tripped over
unintentionally.
Do not pull, twist or otherwise abuse the power cord.
Do not wrap the power cord around the main body of the
appliance during or after use.
NOTICES
1. Do not allow the Moisture Outlet to directly face the
wall. Moisture could cause damage, particularly to

2. Keep unit away from surfaces that can be damaged
by water and/or heat (such as wood floors). Place
mat underneath the unit during use. Do not place
humidifier under overhanging surfaces.
3. Do not place the humidifier on a rug or carpet. The
heat sink underneath the humidifier might cause the
carpet to be discolored and may cause overheating of
the unit.
4. Excessive humidity in a room can cause water
condensation on windows and some furniture. If this
happens, turn the humidifier OFF.

This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
This product has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 18
of the FCC rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation.
The product generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that the interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If the product does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the product on or off, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the product and the
receiver.
Connect the product into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by
the party responsible for compliance could void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, and injury to persons, including the following:

Temperature of the room where the humidifier is placed.
Humidity levels in the room where the humidifier is placed.
Movement of occupants and the opening and closing of doors in the

How can I extend the run time?
Run your unit on the lowest setting.
If your unit has electronics, set it to your desired humidity level. The
unit will turn on and off, which will extend the run time.
Fill the tank all the way full, place it on the base, let the water empty
into the base until it stops bubbling, then refill the tank full again.
This ensures maximum water capacity and will extend run time.
