FUNCTIONS

Ultrasonic atomization technology with either cool or warm mist. (The temperature of warm mist is between 40°C to 50°C)

Water softening function: To soften hardness of water in order to prolong the useful life of the product.

Water tank with an expandable handle that is convenient to use.

There are three different modes for mist control.

High humidifying capacity:300ml/h;

Middle humidifying capacity:200ml/h;

Low humidifying capacity:100ml/h.

Integrated with two rotating nozzle that allows users to adjust the direction of the mist.

• The tank is in blue and with lighting effects. The tank would alight once the humidifier has been turned on and would sparkle when there is lack of water. Humidity display: show the indoor humidity in the area.
• Automatic humidity control: User can set the humidity in the room according to their will (from 30% RH – 70%RH). When the indoor temperature reaches the setting, there will be an automatic cut-off.
• Emitting mist continuously: The humidifier could be established for emitting mist continuously while neglecting the humidity in the area.
• Timer: Automatic shut down function, user can set the timer before they go to sleep or before leaving the area. (Available from 1 hour to 12 hours)
• Shut down protection when water-short: The unit will alarm if there is a lack of water. This helps to prevent danger due to the lack of water and protect the humidifier.

HOW TO USE

Preparation before turning on the humidifier:

Preparation for the filter

1. Take the tank out, and then the filter.

2. For the first time of use, rinsed the filter until the dependencies on the surfaces of the yellow particles are gone.

Note: This filter is an additional item. The operation of the humidifier would not be affected without it.

Adding water to the tank

1. Put the humidifier on a horizontal surface. Take the tank out from the humidifier. Note: Do not add water to the GUTTER directly.

2. Turn the tank upside down. Unscrew the cover anti-clockwise. Fill the tank with clean tap water or distilled water within 5°C to 40°C until water reaches the stated line.

3. Screw the cover on clockwise. Dry water on the outer part of the tank.

4. Put the filter and the tank back. There will be "gurgling" sounds and air bubbles would appear once the tank is placed correctly into the humidifier. Water in the tank would then pass through the filter to be purified, sterilized and softened, which would take 2 to 5 minutes. Once there are no more air bubbles, this indicates that there is sufficient water in the gutter and is now ready for the humidifier to generate mist.

Power on

Connect to power, the buzzer beeps, humidifier enters standby mode. Turning it on by pressing the "On/Off" switch, this regulates to the standard setting.

(Middle humidifying capacity, no timer, 70% RH and lights of the tank being turned on.)

Light

Press the "light" switch in order to switch the light on or off.

Adjusting the temperature of the mist

Press the "cooler/warmer" switch to change the temperature of mist.

Humidity and Timer

Presses "HUM/SPEED" switch to change from humidity setting to timer setting and vice versa. Once it has been changed to the respective mode, the sign would sparkle. Adjust the rate of humidity and timer by pressing the "+" or "-" switch.

1 Humidity setting
1.1 Presses "HUM/SPEED" switch, humidity sign would now sparkle.
1.2 Presses "+" and "-" to adjust the humidity. From the minimum 30% RH to the maximum 70% RH.
1.3 It would be effective right after the humidity has been adjusted.
NOTE: The humidifier would stop emitting mist once it reaches the desired humidity and would only emit mist when the humidity of the area drops to around 5% RH of the set humidity.
1.4 When the humidity sign reaches 70% RH, keep on pressing "+" , the humidifier would switch to the continuous mode, which would be represented by "CO". In this mode, the emitting of mist would not be affected by the humidity in the room and would work continuously.
2 Timer setting
2.1 Presses "HUM/SPEED" switch twice, the timer sign would then sparkle.
2.2 Presses "+" and "-" to adjust the timer. From 0 hour to 12 hours.
2.3 The timer would now start to count down. When it reaches 0 hour, it would stop immediately and enter the standby mode.
2.4 If the timer in set with 0 hour, the humidifier would work continuously. Note: Normal display would be jumping from environment's humidity and timer.

Changing the humidifying capacity.

When there are no special settings, by pressing only "+" or "-" could adjust the humidifying capacity.

* Low capacity: Mist added to air would exceed 100 ml, only the low capacity light would be on.
* Middle capacity: Mist added to air would exceed 200 ml, both the low and middle capacity light would be on.
* High capacity: Mist added to air would exceed 300 ml, all the low, middle and high capacity light would be on.

Water short indicator

1 Once the tank runs out of water, within a few seconds the humidifier would enter the protection mode. The humidifier would then keep on "beeping" for around ten times. Apart from the sparkles at the mist indicator, other signs would be off.
2 In this mode, only "On/Off" switch could be used to switch off the humidifier.
3 Refill the tank and put it back to the humidifier. Wait for around 10 seconds, the humidifier would resume working.

Shut-down

1 Presses "On / Off" switch to turn off the humidifier.
2 If you choose not to unplug the humidifier, all settings except the timer would be saved. Once it has been unplugged, all the settings would reset.

Reminder:

• This ultrasonic humidifier uses a piece of metal diaphragm to vibrate at an ultrasonic frequency creates water droplets that silently exit the humidifier in the form of a cool fog.
• The "gurqling" sound is normal, as water would go through the filter to the gutter.
• The intensity of the mist would be affect by the relative humidity, temperature of the area. It would be harder to generate mist if it is cold and wet.
• The water used should be between 4°C to 50°C and should be clean tap water or distilled water.

MAINTENANCE & WASH

• Please unplug the appliance before washing.
• Wash the water tank every two or three weeks.

Maintenance for the filter
