5. Mist intensity controller

This Tristar humidifier AC-5485 is made of recyclable plastic of edible grade. It can work continuously for over 14 hours with maximum mist intensity. Smooth mist, anion-refreshing, power saving, quiet, auto-stop and long service life are its main features.

4. How does it works?

As per the vibrating theory of ultrasonic waves, the humidifier divides water drops into particles sized 1 – 5 µm. Then the particles are diffused by motor-driven devices - fan. During this course, a large quantity of anions are produced and diffused. That’s how this humidifier works to humidify and refresh the air.

5. How to use the humidifier?

• The best environment temperature for the humidifier is ranged from 0℃ to 40℃. Place it in a room for half an hour before the first use.

6. Cleaning and maintenance

• The water tank should be cleaned frequently. It is recommended to clean once every 3 days.

• Water should be changed frequently. It should not be kept in the water tank more than 2 days.

• Transducer Due to geographic factors, water quality may differ from place to place. Some places have hard water, which contains a large quantity of calcium and magnesium ions. Furthermore, the use of bleaching power (to purify water) also increases the hardness of water. When this kind of water is used to humidify the air, calcium and magnesium ions are diffused together with the mist. As time goes on, there will be sediments of scale on the object surfaces and ground. Meanwhile, there will also be sediments on the transducer and the water groove, which is to affect the functioning of the humidifier. To clean the transducer, please;

• Add some cleanser (about 0.5g) on the transducer, add some water, and wait for 2-5 minutes.

• Use a soft brush to clean the surface of the transducer. Don’t use hard tools to scratch its surface.

• Use cleanser, which you can buy in a market, for cleaning this kind of plastic appliances.

• Do not use soap or other alkaline substances to clean the transducer.

• Do not put this humidifier or some parts into the dish washer.

• If the water groove and water level detector have scale sediments too, please use the cleanser to clean, and then wash the water groove with clean water.

• Do not immerse the base in water and make sure that no water21 enters the vent.

The original package is the best to store the unit. Make sure to clean all the parts and have them dried before storage. Meanwhile, please loose the silicon washer to secure its service life.
