Working principle

Working principle: Ultrasonic humidifiers use a high frequency oscillator to break up the water into tiny particles. The ventilation system of the humidifier fans the water into the air where they evaporate, increasing the humidity.

Features

Easy to refill water tank
- Built-in security device will switch off the unit automatically when the water tank is empty
- Noiseless and energy-saving
High-quality transducer guarantees a lasting and satisfactory function.
- Soothing nightlight

What is air humidity?

Air humidity is the water vapour content in the air.

What is relative humidity?

Relative humidity is the proportion of moisture or water vapour in the air in relation to the maximum possible level at the current temperature, expressed as a percentage.

How can insufficient humidity affect us?

When the air is too dry, hydrogen levels in the body decrease, and negative symptoms can occur or be aggravated. Common symptoms are

• Nasal congestion or runny nose
• Breathing difficulties
  Dry throat; sore throat
  Dry complexion with flaking and skin cracking
  Static electricity
  Tiredness, drowsiness and poor concentration
  Respiratory infections and diseases, such as asthma.
  Problems with dry complexion and eczema
  Dry eyes;smarting

What is ideal relative humidity?

In tropical countries, the climate is extremely hot and humid. This is why air-conditioning systems are used everywhere. The disadvantage of air conditioning is that it makes the air much too dry. A comfortable indoor environment with relative humidity of 60% to 70% is recommended.

Environment

Operating instructions

Before using the unit for the first time, keep the unit in room temperature for half an hour. Use clear water no warmer than 40^ . Check the water basin and make sure it is clear. Put the nozzle into the socket on top of the water tank.

1. Put the machine on a flat surface.
2. Fill the water tank and tighten the tank cover.
3. Connect the water tank to the main body.
4. Check that the rated voltage meets the input voltage, and plug in the socket.
5. Use the mechanical knob to switch the unit on and to adjust the humidity level.
6. Activate the night light by pressing the button below the knob.

Security warnings

Please be aware of the following points to prevent danger of high voltage.

1. Never disassemble the base unit without consulting qualified personnel.
2. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
3. Do not add detergents or chemical solutions to the water.
4. Unplug the appliance during filling, cleaning and maintenance.
5. Keep detergents and chemical solutions away children.
6. Do not change the attachment without definite permit from the manufacturer.
7. If you notice any abnormal smell during normal operations, please switch off the unit and disconnect power supply and contact the manufacturer.
8. Never touch the water in the water basin or the components in the water when the unit is in operation.
9. Never switch the unit on when there is no water in the water basin.
10. Never scrape transducer cpl at will.
11. Never clean transducer cpl with detergents or chemical solutions.
12. Never let water splash into the inner base unit.
13. Care should be taken when using the appliance due to emission of hot water vapor.
14. Before cleaning and maintenance, the appliance must be disconnected from the main supply.
15. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
16. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
17. Indoor use only.
18. Prior to cleaning or other maintenance, the appliance must be disconnected from the main supply.

The water filter

1. The filter is mixed with NANO-SILVER material to prevent bacteria.
2. The ceramic balls soften the hard water.
3. The ceramic filter eliminates odor from the water.

Maintenance

If you live in an area with hard water, which means that the water contains too much calcium and magnesium, it can cause "white powder" and scales on the water basin, transducer and inner surfaces of the water tank. Scales on the surface of transducer will unable the unit work to properly. We recommend:

1. Use cold boiled water or distilled water.
2. Clean the transducer, water tank and basin unit every week.
3. Change the water in water tank more often to keep it fresh.
4. Change the water in regularly and clean and dry the water tank before storing the machine.
5. If you plan not to use the unit for a longer period of time, clean the whole unit and make sure that all parts of the unit are dried completely before storing.

How to clean the filter system:

1. Clean the ceramic balls after being used for 1000L of water.
2. Remove the filter system from the tank cover.
3. Put the filter system in the white vinegar for about 10 minutes.
4. After 10 minutes; shake the filter system several times then clean it with clear water.
5. Alternatively, take out the ceramic balls from the filter system and wash them with clean water then let them dry in direct sunlight for several hours before putting them back in the filter cartridge.
6. Let the filter system dry and pack it into a polybag. Keep it in a cool and shady place.

How to clean the transducer:

1. Put 5-10 drops of cleaning liquid on the surface of the transducer, wait for 2-5 minutes;
2. Brush away the scale on the surface.
3. Rinse the transducer with clean water.

How to clean the basin unit:
