Frequently Asked Questions - H955W PureGuardian

Why isn't my humidifier emitting mist even though air is circulating?

Several possible causes: too much water in the tank (remove some water), the mist tube is not properly closed, detergent or oil residue in the tank (wash it), or the ultrasonic disk is dirty (clean it with the provided brush). If you use hard water, switch to soft or distilled water.

How to clean the ultrasonic disk?

Unplug the device and empty all water from the base. Use only the provided cleaning brush to gently clean the disk. Do not scrub or scrape the disk. If scale persists, apply a solution of white vinegar and water (1:1) for 5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.

What does the E1 code on the display mean?

The E1 code indicates that the water level is too low. Fill the tank with fresh water. The power indicator flashes red. The device will automatically restart after filling.

What does the E2 code on the display mean?

The E2 code indicates that the water tank is not properly positioned on the base. Remove the tank and realign it by matching the small lines on the side of the tank and base. The power indicator turns solid red.

Can I use essential oils in this humidifier?

Yes, you can add a few drops of essential oil directly into the water tank, as the tank material allows it. Do not pour oil elsewhere. If you do not smell the aroma, add a few more drops.

How to set the desired humidity?

Press and hold the humidity adjustment button to select a level between 40% and 75% RH. The recommended humidity is between 45 and 50%. When the ambient humidity reaches the set level, the device switches to low speed.

What to do if white dust settles on furniture?

White dust is due to minerals in hard water. Use distilled water to reduce this phenomenon. Regularly clean the device and the ultrasonic disk.

How to use the timer function?

Press the Timer button to set a programmed shut-off duration from 1 to 12 hours. The display shows 'CO'; press the button several times to select the desired time. The device will automatically stop at the end of the timer.

Can I leave the humidifier running all night?

Yes, you can use the timer to program a shut-off after a few hours. Make sure the tank contains enough water for the desired duration. The device has an automatic shut-off in case of water shortage.

How to store the humidifier at the end of the season?

Clean and descale the device. Let it dry completely in the air. Do not leave water in the base or tank. Put the device back in its original packaging and store it in a cool, dry place.

GENERAL CLEANING

1. Always unplug the unit before servicing in any way.
2. Water tank. Empty the tank to clean. Clean the inside of the tank with fresh water and a soft cloth or the cleaning brush. To clean the inside of the upper mist tube (inside the tank) first remove the mist spout by pulling it directly off. Then twist the mist tube in a counter clockwise direction and pull it out. To remove the lower mist tube (underside of the tank) twist it in a counter clockwise direction and pull it out. Clean the insides of both pieces with a brush and water. Return both pieces by rotating them in a clockwise direction until snug and then snapping the mist spout back onto the upper mist tube. When returning tank to base, position the tank by aligning the two lines on the side of the tank.
3. Outer surface of the unit. Wipe the lid and surface of the unit with a soft, damp cloth if needed. If you notice an accumulation of water during usage, reduce humidity and dry outer surface with a cloth.

DESCALING

• Depending on usage and water type, cleaning to remove scale may be required weekly or every other week to optimize unit performance.
• If you live in a hard water area, we recommend the use of distilled water for your humidifier. This will help reduce the precipitation of minerals or 'white dust'.
• Do not clean the unit or water tank with detergents or cleaning chemicals of any kind.

2. Empty the tank and any remaining water in the base of the tank by pouring out all of the water.
