Why is my humidifier not producing any mist?

Check that the appliance is plugged in and the tank is properly installed. Clean the ultrasonic disk with the included brush. Make sure the water level is sufficient.

White dust is settling on furniture, what should I do?

Can essential oils be used with this humidifier?

No, this would damage the materials of the appliance. Do not add any additives to the water.

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE

PROBLEM	SOLUTION
Water vapor and humidity are not produced.	Power Plug: Unplug and then try again. Power Failure: When the power is returned, try again. Tank Installation: Make sure the tank is correctly attached. The surface of the ultrasonic disk is dirty: Clean ultrasonic disk.
Air blows but water vapor is not produced.	Excessive Water: Remove a certain amount of water from the tank. The desired humidity is lower than the current temperature: Increase the desired humidity. Detergent residue and/or oil ingredients from cosmetics, etc. may be in tank; wash out tank and try again. The surface of the ultrasonic disk is dirty: Clean ultrasonic disk. If you use hard water, replace with softer water.
Humidity level is low.	The surface of the ultrasonic disk is dirty: Clean ultrasonic disk. The water in the unit is too cold: Replace with cool, but not cold water. Damage on the ultrasonic disk: Contact Customer Service
Warm humidity is not produced.	It may take 10-15 minutes before warm humidity is created. The mist may not feel warm due to the fact it is so fine and is cooled rather quickly from the air in your home. Test by either feeling the base of the unit which should be warm to the touch or by allowing the unit to run for approximately 30 minutes on warm setting in a closed 200 sq. foot room or smaller. The room should feel moderately warmer if the unit is working properly.
The humidity has a bad smell.	Poor maintenance or dirty water: Clean the product thoroughly, and fill it with fresh water.
White dust is forming on nearby furniture.	Hard water may deposit a certain amount of dust. Dust in the air also settles because of added humidity in the room. Use distilled water if this becomes a nuisance.
Unit has stopped working.	No or low water. Unplug unit and refill tank. The humidifier is equipped with a thermal safety device that will display “OH” when activated. If it enters a mode showing “OH” it will automatically restart when cooled down. If the unit does not automatically restart, then allow the unit to cool and cycle the power button to reset and start the humidifier. Important: If the unit continues to display “OH” or shut down, there may be an abnormal condition and the unit may need service. Call Customer Service
Water is accumulating outside of unit or area surrounding unit.	Saturation of humidity. Lower mist control setting. Unit not level and water is accumulating. Unplug and place on level surface. Point spray away from objects. Raise unit on a water-resistant level surface 2-3 feet off of floor.
Water dripping when refilling. Cap not tight.	Water remaining on bottom of tank. Wipe tank or tilt to drain before transporting. Twist to firmly secure cap after filling tank with water.
Increased noise level.	Unit must be placed on a at, level, hard surface. Make sure it is NOT placed on a soft or absorbent surface.
Humidifier display not reaching “auto” or desired humidity level.	There are a few things that can affect the reading. The climate (example - if in a very cold climate, the furnace will run frequently, letting dry air into the room). The room may be too large and may be open to other spaces. Try warm humidification, sometimes this increases the humidity faster. Also, unplugging it for a period of 5-8 minutes. Sometimes it is possible to overload the unit when rst getting the product and trying out all the buttons.
