About Auto Operation

The temperature and humidity sensor is installed inside the product. It will adjust to the most appropriate humidity and begin operating according to the room temperature (surrounding temperature).

Surrounding humidity The most appropriate humidity ratio
<19°C	65%
20 ~ 21°C 60%
22 ~ 24°C 55%
>25°C 50%

Misting amount during auto operation

• Misting amount during auto
• Misting amount is adjusted automatically according to the difference between a tested humidity and the ideal humidity.

For initial use or repeated use after filling the water, operation will begin automatically after 2-5 minutes. It takes this length of time for water to flow from the tank to the slot.

Difference between the most appropriate humidity 50% and the current humidity	Misting amount (operation display)
>16	strong
15 - 4 medium operation
<3	weak
Current humidity is higher than the most appropriate humidity stop

“Add water” sign will appear when water in the tank runs out during sleep operating mode and will stop. (Add water warning will not sound).

The humidity figure shown in the display screen is the amount calculated by the humidity sensor inside the humidifier. It is different from the actual humidity in the room.

Press the "Misting Amount Setup" button to adjust to weak, middle and strong settings. The display screen will change accordingly.

When setting the misting amount, the misting nozzle will not spray when the room humidity is higher than the set humidity.

'On' or 'off' for humidifying with warm mist operation

Press the "Heating" button once. It will switch between "on" and "off" status for humidifying with warm mist operation.

During warm mist humidifying, warm mist will be produced by a built-in heater.

The most suitable humidity setup

The most suitable humidity can be adjusted by means of the upper or lower switch for "Humidity Setup".

The range is from 40% to 80% , with 5% increments.

The timer

By pressing the left or right "Time Setup" button, the time for stopping the operation can be set.

The range is from 0 (continuous operation) to eight hours, with each adjustment being 1 hour.

Combined function of the humidifier

With the help of an installed heater, water in the water tank is heated and transferred through the atomizer to produce a warm mist. Efficiency for humidifying will be increased with the help of the combined humidifier. The surrounding temperature will not be reduced due to the warm mist.

It takes approximately ten to twenty minutes to start emitting the warm mist. (The time needed for the heater to warm up the water)
The average temperature for the warm mist is 40 degrees. It is sometimes difficult to detect the mist temperature due to the difference in surrounding temperature and humidity

Stopping Operation

1. Press the "Power" button, the music is on, the indicator light of the display screen will turn off and the operation is stopped.

1. Unplug the plug from the socket.

Mist Capacity

When the tank is full of water

When the humidifier is under "Warm Misting" (high) operation, the maximum water usage can reach about 370ml / h . When the humidifier is under "Cold Misting" (high) operation, the maximum water usage can reach about 330ml / h .

• Continuous misting can last about 20 hours

When the water tank is empty

• The humidifier will stop working when water in the water tank has emptied, the alarm sound for adding water will come on and the indicator light for "Add Water" will flash. After five seconds, the indicator light will stop flashing and the red light will come on

• To continue using the device, add water according to the correct procedures

• When lifting up the water tank, water at the bottom of the water tank may drip. Please dry the bottom with a towel when lifting it up to avoid wetting the floor or furniture.

• Please make sure not to drop or knock the water tank when adding water. The water tank will be broken and leak if it is subjected to misuse.

Attention

• There will be some water scaling in the water slot or atomizer after a period of operation. Continuous use of the device in this case may result in abnormal operation or malfunction.

• Please change water in the tank every day, and make sure to maintain it regularly.

Consumable Parts

Ion Exchange Filter

White powder in the mist may be deposited on surrounding objects. These 'white powder' deposits are calcium and magnesium compounds found in ordinary tap water. Although they are not harmful, they may cause adverse effects and adhere to furniture. By means of an ion exchange filter, calcium and magnesium from the tap water are removed and in turn reduced the production of white powder.

An ion exchange filter (removable type, installed at the bottom of the water tank) may stain the water in the trough to the colour of tea at the beginning of operation. This has no effect on safety or performance. However, you can pour out the water if you wish and continue operation.

Filter replacement

The useful life of the ion exchange filter is about 400 litres. Continual use after its lifetime will lower its capability to remove the hardness components (calcium and magnesium) in tap water. As a result, there will be an increased build-up of scale.

The standard period of filter change is about 180 days under automatic mode of operation (heating - humidifying operation time of about 6 hours every day).

• Based on different frequency of use and quality of water, the time for changing the filter may be reduced. Please pay attention to the appearance of white powder deposits
• An ion exchange filter is installed on the water tank. When you change the filter, you should remove the cover by turning it anticlockwise, remove the filter by also turning it anticlockwise from the water tank. Now you can install the new filter by turning clockwise according to the diagram on the right. Finally you can screw the ion exchange filter at the bottom of the tank by screwing it clockwise.
• Please contact your distributor or authorized service centre if you need to purchase a new ion exchange filter.
