• Make sure that the water tank is lled with water and the upper unit is placed properly onto the water tank.

• The humidier will stop working if the current humidity level reaches 70%RH. Humidity level above 70%RH does not make users feel comfortable, so the humidier automatically turns o to ensure optimal humidication performance. The water tank leaks. • Make sure that the humidier is not overlled with water.

• Make sure that the humidier is well assembled/ connected every time after you clean it or after you remove the upper unit and/or water tank for relling.

• Make sure that the water tank is properly placed. If the problem persists, contact the Consumer Care Center in your country. I do not see the current humidity indication change.
