Frequently Asked Questions - H950AR PureGuardian

How do I clean the ultrasonic disc?

Use only the cleaning brush provided to gently clean the disc. Do not scrub or scratch the disc. If hard water deposits persist, apply a solution of white vinegar and water (1 tsp each) for 5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.

Why is there no mist output?

Check the power outlet and ensure the tank is properly installed. Make sure the ultrasonic disc is clean. If the problem persists, clean the disc and check for a power outage.

What type of water should I use?

Use soft or distilled water. Hard water may cause white dust buildup and clog the unit. Avoid hot or boiling water.

Can I use essential oils?

Yes, add a few drops to the essential oil pad in the tray. Never add oils directly to the water tank, as this will damage the unit and void the warranty.

How do I descale the humidifier?

Unplug the unit and empty the base. Prepare a solution of 1 teaspoon white vinegar to 1 teaspoon water, pour it into the base, let it sit for 5 minutes, then clean surfaces with a soft cloth or brush. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.

What does the red light on the button mean?

The red light indicates low water level. Unplug the unit and refill the tank. The unit will automatically shut off in this case.

Why is there white dust on my furniture?

This is due to hard water. White dust is mineral deposits. Use distilled water to reduce this. Clean the humidifier regularly.

How should I store the humidifier at the end of the season?

Clean and descale the unit, then dry it completely. Do not leave water in the tank or base. Return it to its original packaging and store in a cool, dry place.

What is the warranty for the PureGuardian H950AR?

The unit has a limited one-year warranty from the date of purchase. It covers defects in materials and workmanship. Keep your original receipt. For claims, contact customer service at 1.866.603.5900.

Why does the mist have a bad odor?

A bad odor is often due to insufficient maintenance or stagnant water. Clean the unit thoroughly, including the tank, and fill with fresh soft water. Use the cleaning feature regularly.
