control panel where the three separate droplets
are located, this will adjust between the mist
output levels.
Low Mist Output = 1 beep
Medium Mist Output = 2 beeps
High Mist Output = 3 beeps
CONTROL PANEL
The control panel has a humidity indicator light
and will show differing colours as follows:
Amber = Low humidity. (0-30%
Relative Humidity Level)
Green = Ideal Humidity Level
Blue = High humidity. (Above 56%
Relative Humidity Level)

the unit will beep 10 times and the control
panel will continuously flash, the transducer
(F) will automatically shut off. Refill the tank
as instructed in “Operating Instructions” to
operate the humidifier again.
FILTER USE
The Water filter is used to retain minerals in
your water and to provide clean moisture. The
filter life is determined by the average daily use
of your humidifier and the water hardness in
your area. The harder the water, the greater the
amount of minerals in the water and the more
often you will need to replace the filter. It is
strongly recommended that the filter is replaced
every 2 months, (depending on use), or when
white dust is emitted from the unit.
1. Make sure the unitis turned offanddisconnect
from themainsoutlet. Remove WaterTank.
2. If replacing, remove the Filter from the base
and dispose of according to local regulations.
3. Remove the protective plastic bag from
the new filter. Soak filter thoroughly by
immersing filter in water for 5 minutes. Install
the filter into the base.
4. Fill the water tank with clean, cool tap water
and replace it in the base. Wait 15 minutes
for water to pass through the filter before
turning on the unit. The 15 minute wait is
necessary to ensure that the filter is properly
saturated and the water is at its optimal level
for best performance.
Cleaning and Maintenance Instruction
Humidifiers provide comfort by adding moisture
to dry, heated indoor air. To get the most benefit
from the humidifier and to avoid product misuse,
follow all instructions carefully, specifically the
operation, care and maintenance guidelines.
Please note this is an electrical appliance and
requires attention when in use.
Cleaningyourhumidifierevery one or twoweeks,
depending on the water conditions is important
in order to maintain efficient, healthy, odour-free
operation. Water quality varies widely and,
combined with build-up of mineral scale in your
humidifier, may under certain conditions promote
the growth of micro-organisms in the water tank.
