  2. Insert 1 x CR2025 3V battery into the battery casing ensuring you follow the polarity (+ and -) marked on the casing.
  3. Slide the battery casing back into the remote control until you hear it click firmly into place.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR HUMIDIFIER

  • The humidifier takes 6.5 liters of water, which provides 15 to 27 hours of humidifying action (depending on the vapor level you choose).
  • The humidifier has 3 vapor levels – high, medium, and low, and can be set to maintain your desired humidity level.
  • The timer keeps the humidifier on for a set time up to 8 hours.
  • An aromatherapy oil or essential oil can be used to gently perfume the room.

SETTING UP THE HUMIDIFIER

  1. Find a location for the humidifier where the appliance is:• On a stable, even surface where it cannot be easily knocked over.• Place the appliance at least 1.67 feet away from furniture. Make sure there is at least 4.17 feet of space above the appliance. Make sure the appliance is at least 6.67 feet away from other household electrical appliances such as a TV.• Away from windows and is not used for long periods in a closed room as condensation may occur.
  2. Lift off the vapor nozzle from the water tank. Separate the base from the water tank.
  3. In the base, remove the foam packaging from the float ball.
  4. Place the water tank on the base.
  5. Make sure the foam packaging has been removed from the  ceramic ball filter. Push the filter into the filter slot in the bottom of the water tank.NOTE: Replace the ceramic ball filter after 3000 hours of use.
  6. Use a jug to fill the water tank with clean water (no warmer than room temperature). The tank takes approximately 6.5 liters of water. NOTE: We recommend you use distilled water to prevent the build-up of scale that will occur if tap water is used.
  7. Put the vapor nozzle back onto the water tank making sure that the vapor nozzle is facing forwards. Wipe off any excess water from the exterior.NOTE: If the humidifier has been stored in a particularly cool place i.e. below 5°C, wait 30 minutes to warm up before turning it on.
  8. Plug the power cord into the base of the humidifier and then plug the adapter into the mains socket. The humidifier will beep and the power-on icon will light up. The humidifier is now in standby mode.

    Up to 5 bars Medium level vapor
    Up to 3 bars Low level vapor
    LED screen is off and only the power on icon displays The humidifier is off and in standby mode

    When the humidifier is on, the relative humidity and temperature will display alternately on the LED screen.

  2. Touch the HUMIDITY button repeatedly to set the humidity level from 40% to 85%. The humidity level increases in increments of 5%.

NOTE: Once you have completed the setting, do not press any buttons for a few seconds and the screen will automatically go back to showing the current humidity and temperature, as well as the timer icon and the number of hours.
  4. When the water level is low, the low water level indicator will appear red on the LED screen and 10 beeps will sound. Make sure you refill the water tank or turn off the appliance.NOTE: If the water level is too low for a prolonged period, the humidifier’s inbuilt protection system will turn the humidifier off.
  5. To turn off the humidifier at any time, touch the ON / OFF button until the LED screen turns off.
  6. Unplug the power cord from the base of the humidifier and then unplug the adapter from the mains socket to fully turn off the humidifier. The power on icon will no longer display.

USING THE REMOTE CONTROLThe remote control’s buttons function in the same way as the buttons on the humidifier’s control panel. Please refer to the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS section for more information on the buttons.Point the remote control at the humidifier making sure there are no obstacles between the remote control and humidifier’s infrared sensor. The remote control can connect to the humidifier within 16.5 feet. The operating range may vary depending on the brightness of the room.NOTE: Do not expose the infrared remote sensor to direct sunlight or other strong light, such as a florescent light.

USING THE AROMA OIL DIFFUSER

IMPORTANT – Always make sure the humidifier is turned off before adding the aromatherapy or essential oil.

  1. Pull out the aroma oil tray and if not already inserted, put in the sponge.
  2. Add the aromatherapy or essential oil until the sponge is soaked. If some oil spills outside the aroma oil tray, wipe it up before proceeding.NOTE: We recommend using aromatherapy or essential oils with antibacterial and antifungal properties.
  3. Slide the tray back into place and turn on the humidifier.NOTE: Do not add the aromatherapy or essential oil directly in the water tank or base of the humidifier.

CLEANING AND CARE

  • CAUTION – Always unplug the humidifier from the mains socket and let it cool down before cleaning.
  • Do not immerse the base or power cord in water/liquids or allow moisture to come into contact with these parts.
  • Never use solvents, bacteriostat, chemical or abrasive cleaning agents, wire brushes, sharp objects or scouring pads to clean the product.

CLEANING

  • Clean the appliance every 2 to 3 days to remove any film or scale build-up.
  • Regular cleaning increases the lifespan of the humidifier.
  • Always clean the appliance before storing it for a long time.
  • Store the appliance in its original packaging or in a cool, dustfree, dry environment away from direct sunlight.

CLEANING THE BASE

  1. Remove the water tank from the base.
  2. Pour off any water away from the air intake to ensure that it does not flow into the inside of the base and damage the internal components.
  3. Clean the ceramic surface of the oscillator in the base with a soft toothbrush. For stubborn stains or scale, use a small amount of the vinegar solution (1 part vinegar to 3 parts water) to clean the oscillator.
  4. Use a dry cloth to clean the inside of the base. Make sure you remove any scale particularly around the float ball and the oscillator.
  5. A damp cloth can be used to clean the outside of the base.
  6. Take out the aroma oil tray and sponge from the base and wash in a mild detergent solution. 7. Reassemble only when all parts are thoroughly dry.

CLEANING THE WATER TANK

  1. Remove the vapor nozzle from the water tank.
  2. Separate the water tank from the base.
  3. Lift out the ceramic ball filter in the bottom of the water tank. Remove it and rinse well in water.
  4. Use a solution of 1 part vinegar to 3 parts water to clean the vapor nozzle and water tank. Alternatively, a warm, mild detergent solution can be used to clean these parts.
  5. Rinse the items thoroughly.
  6. Using a clean cloth, wipe any deposits and excess water from the parts and dry thoroughly.NOTE: Clean the water tank and vapor nozzle with a vinegar solution once a week.

REPLACING THE FILTER

  1. Remove the vapor nozzle from the water tank.
  2. Separate the water tank from the base.
  3. Pull the filter out of the filter slot in the bottom of the water tank.
  4. Put the new filter into the filter slot and push until is firmly secured in place.
  5. Reassemble the humidifier.NOTE: We recommend that you replace the filter after 3000 hours of use under normal circumstances. If the water in your area is hard, you will need to change the filter more frequently to prevent a build-up of limescale in the appliance and reduce the potential for white limescale powder being emitted from the vapor nozzle.
