Components
Misting function: Using high frequency vibration (Frequency 1.7 MHz or 2.4MHz, which is
inaudible and poses no harm to the human body) the ceramic misting plate breaks up the water
droplets, creating an elegant dry mist, without the need to heat or add any chemical agent.
Photocatalyst function: The blue piece at the base of the fan bottom houses the photocatalyst.
A light powered air purifier, it can decompose noxious gases, inorganic compounds, inhibit the
growth of the bacteria and the activity of viruses in order to supply fresh air.
Ionizer function: Negative ions can refresh the air by neutralising positive ions. Air pollution is
made up of many positive ions (solid particles, bacteria and chemical fog). When they combine,
the positive and negative ions attract which can make the pollutants drop out of the air.
Filling the water tank
Press the water tank handle button to take out the water tank.
(Please refer to picture 1).
Fill the water tank with water, then place the water tank back in the machine. Ensure that the
