Frequently Asked Questions - H965AR PureGuardian

Why is my humidifier not producing mist?

Check the power outlet, ensure the tank is properly installed and the ultrasonic disc is clean. If the problem persists, clean the disc with the included brush.

How to clean the ultrasonic disc?

Unplug the unit, remove the tank, empty the water from the base. Use only the included cleaning brush to gently scrub the disc. Never use abrasive objects.

What type of water should I use?

Use soft or distilled water. Hard water can cause white dust deposits and requires more frequent cleaning.

Why is water accumulating around the unit?

Reduce the mist level. Make sure the unit is on a level surface and the mist nozzle is not directed at objects. Place the unit on a waterproof surface.

How to descale the humidifier?

Unplug the unit. Fill the base with a solution of 1 teaspoon white vinegar to 1 teaspoon water. Let sit for 5 minutes, then clean with a soft cloth. Rinse thoroughly with water.

The humidifier emits a bad odor, what should I do?

This indicates insufficient maintenance or stagnant water. Thoroughly clean the unit, including the tank and base, and fill with fresh water.

The nightlight is not working, what should I check?

Check the nightlight setting (button next to the nozzle). If still off, make sure the tank is properly installed, as the light turns on via a contact. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

Can I use essential oils in the water?

No. Using additives (essential oils, perfumes, eucalyptus, etc.) can damage the unit's materials and void the warranty.

The unit shuts off by itself, why?

The refill indicator turns red and the unit turns off when the water level is too low. Add water and the unit will restart automatically. Also check that the tank is properly positioned.

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

Clean and descale the unit. Dry it completely, do not leave water in the base or tank. Place it back in its original carton and store in a cool, dry place.
