Frequently Asked Questions - EE-8065 Crane

How do I clean the Crane EE-8065 humidifier?

For daily cleaning, empty the water tank and basin, then wipe dry with a clean cloth. For weekly cleaning, fill the tank with warm water and add 2 tablespoons of white vinegar. Shake vigorously, let sit for 20-30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Do the same for the water basin. Never immerse the base in water.

Why is the power indicator light red?

The red indicator light means the unit is turned on but has run out of water. Refill the water tank with fresh cool water. The light will turn off once the tank is replaced and water is detected.

Can I use essential oils or medications in the humidifier?

No, do not add any additives such as essential oils, fragrances, or vapor medications. This humidifier is not designed for additives; using them will void the warranty.

What type of water should I use?

Use clean, cool tap water. If your tap water is very hard, use filtered or distilled water to prevent white dust. You can also purchase a demineralization filter from Crane.

How do I select between warm and cool mist?

Turn the Cool/Warm Mist Selection Knob to your desired setting. The blue power indicator will illuminate, and mist will start within seconds.

What should I do if there is a strange odor?

Clean the water tank with a vinegar-water solution (2 tablespoons vinegar per half gallon of water). Rinse thoroughly and leave the empty tank open in a cool place to air out.

Why is white dust appearing around the humidifier?

White dust is caused by minerals in hard tap water. Switch to filtered or distilled water, or purchase a Crane demineralization filter cartridge.

How do I adjust the mist output?

Use the Mist Control Knob to increase or decrease the intensity. Adjust so that the mist rises up to be absorbed by the air without accumulating on surfaces.

What is the recommended humidity level?

The ideal relative humidity is between 40% and 50%. In cold weather, reduce mist output if windows or walls develop condensation.

How do I store the humidifier at the end of the season?

Empty and clean the tank and basin with vinegar solution. Let them dry completely, then store the humidifier in a cool, dry place. Do not place heavy items on top.

GERM DEFENSE HUMIDIFIER FEATURES

CRANE'S GERM DEFENSE

Crane's Germ Defense humidifiers are embedded with small natural antimicrobial silver particles into the water tank and water basin to help fight the growth of bacteria, viruses and mold. This technology ensures that the humidifier disperses a clean, hygienic mist.

WARM AND COOL MIST

You can select a warm mist or cool mist with this humidifier.

Humidifiers add moisture to the air, which helps ease coughing and congestion due to a cold, and relief from dry skin, chapped lips, and dry eyes. Warm mist and cool mist humidifiers are equally effective in humidifying the air.

• Warm Mist heats the water emitting a warm mist.
• Cool Mist emits a cool mist and will not affect the room temperature very much (if at all).

ULTRASONIC HUMIDIFIER

This is an Ultrasonic humidifier. The humidifier uses a metal diaphragm vibrating at an ultrasonic frequency, much like the element in a high-frequency stereo speaker to create mist. An ultrasonic humidifier is whisper quiet and produces a fine mist into the room.

OPERATION AND USE

BEFORE EACH USE

CHECK HUMIDIFIER PLACEMENT

Place the Humidifier on an elevated, non-metallic, lint-free, waterproof, level surface at least 2 feet above the floor.

• DO NOT place the humidifier on carpet or a towel. The fan vent is located on the bottom of the humidifier base. The fan vent MUST NOT be obstructed.
• DO NOT place the humidifier on a wood surface or near furniture that can be damaged by too much moisture.

CHECK WATER LEVEL SENSOR

Make sure that the Water Level Sensor is secured properly and not obstructed.

CAUTION

DO NOT operate the humidifier without water in the Water Tank.

DO NOT plug or unplug the Power Cord with wet hands as electric shock could occur.

DO NOT USE ANY ADDITIVES IN THE WATER

Additives – such as oils, fragrances, or vapor/steam medications – cannot be added to the water. This humidifier is not made to take additives. Any use of additives will void the manufacturer's warranty.

ASSEMBLY

ALWAYS use fresh cool water when operating the humidifier.

1. Turn Water Tank upside down and unscrew Water Tank Cap.
2. Fill Water Tank with cool water. DO NOT fill water all the way to the rim.

DO NOT CARRY FULL WATER TANK BY HANDLE. ALWAYS HOLD FULL WATER TANK WITH TWO HANDS.

DO NOT use hot water. Use cool tap water. DO NOT add any medication, essential oils, or salt. DO NOT pour water into Mist Outlet Channel.

1. Screw Water Tank Cap back onto Water Tank. Turn the Water Tank over and place on Water Basin, making sure it fits perfectly.
   Note: Do not attempt to move the humidifier while Water Tank is placed on Water Basin. Doing so may cause leakage of water and/or Water Basin to overfill.
2. Plug the power cord into a wall socket and turn on the unit by using the Control Knob.
3. Select Cool Mist or Warm Mist on the Cool/Warm Mist Selection Knob. The blue Power Indicator Light will illuminate. In a few seconds, mist will start emitting.
4. Use the Mist Control Knob to adjust the intensity of the mist output.

SET THE CORRECT HUMIDITY OUTPUT: Adjust the Control Knob so that the mist rises up to be absorbed by the room air. Do not set Control Knob too high, as the mist cannot be absorbed by the air and may accumulate on the surfaces around the humidifier.

1. When the humidifier runs out of water, the humidifier will automatically shut off and the mist will stop. The Low Water Indicator Light will illuminate red. This safety feature uses a water level sensor to stop the Nebulizer once the water level sinks below the required level in the Humidifier Base.

Note: The indicator light on the humidifier will remain on. The red light indicates that the humidifier is turned on and needs to be refilled.

A NOTE ABOUT HUMIDITY

• It is best to keep the humidity level at about 40%-50% of relative humidity.
• In cold weather, windows and even some walls may fog or develop frost from excessive indoor humidity. If this occurs, reduce the mist output setting to avoid damage from condensed water dripping onto windowsills.
• Too much humidity in the room may allow moisture to accumulate on surfaces where bacteria and fungi can grow. Moisture that gathers may also damage furniture and walls, especially wallpaper.
• To reduce excessive humidity, especially in small rooms, leave the room door open and adjust the mist intensity control setting.

MAINTENANCE

It is important to keep ultrasonic cool mist humidifiers clean. Cleaning and disinfecting on a regular basis is important for maintaining the performance of your humidifier

IMPORTANT

DO NOT leave water in Water Tank or Water Basin when unit is not in use as it may result in the buildup of mineral deposits and bacteria that can inhibit the output efficiency of the humidifier. If water remains in the Water Tank for more than a day or two, bacterial growth is possible.

DAILY MAINTENANCE

1. Always turn off and unplug from outlet before cleaning.
2. Empty water from the water tank and water basin daily.
3. Wipe and dry water basin with a clean, dry cloth or paper towel.
4. Replace the water tank.

WEEKLY MAINTENANCE

1. Always turn off and unplug from outlet before cleaning.
2. Empty water from the water tank and water basin.
3. Fill the water tank with about a half-gallon of warm water. Add 2 Tablespoons of white vinegar. Shake vigorously and let sit for 20-30 minutes. Shake vigorously again and empty the water. Rinse water tank.
4. Make similar white vinegar/water solution. Pour into water basin. Let sit for 20-30 minutes, and then empty. Rinse water tank. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.
5. Wipe the exterior surface water tank and water basin with a soft, dry cloth. NEVER IMMERSE WATER BASIN IN WATER.

END-OF-SEASON MAINTENANCE & STORING YOUR HUMIDIFIER

1. Always turn off and unplug from outlet before cleaning.
2. Empty water from the water tank and water basin.
3. Disinfect water tank and water basin with the white vinegar and water solution.
4. Make sure that water tank has air dried without the water cap secured.
5. Make sure the water basin and water tank are completely dry before end of season storage. Store the humidifier in a cool dry place.
6. DO NOT place any heavy items on top of humidifier during storage as this may result in possible damage of the humidifier.
7. Store the cord in a clean, dry location away from metal objects. Always check the plug before use to ensure metal items have not become attached.
