Low Water Alarm

Once the water in the basin is too little to keep the machine working, device will automatically stop working and warn by three beeps. LED shows 📄 Refill the water, and the machine will restart.

RELATIVE HUMIDITY

The percentage of water mist in a given space with a given air temperature is named as relative humidity, usually marked as %RH, i.e. 45%RH. The air contains water mist more or less. The proportion of water mist to the air varies according to different air temperatures. The higher the temperature, the more water mist inhaled in the air.

In the winter, the cold air outside enters the room and becomes warmer by the higher temperature in the room. As a result, the relative humidity decreases. If you want to keep the healthy environmental humidity, we need to increase the mist volume in the air. The humidifier can do that for us. Relative humidity in different environments suitable for people:

• Bedroom, living room: 45-65%RH
• Patient's room: 40-55%RH
• Room with computer, experiment equipment: 45-60%RH
• Room with piano: 40-60%RH
• Museum, exhibition hall, and library: 40-60%RH

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem Possible Cause Suggested Solution
Power lamp off or does not work	Humidifier is not plugged into the power outlet or loose.	Connect power cord to electrical outlet and press power button
Power lamp is on but no mist	No water in water tank Fill water into water tank
The mist has a strange odour	A New unit Take out water tank, open cover, let it stay 12 hours in cool position
	It either has dirty water or the water has been stagnant too long	Clean water tank, fill with clear water
Power light is on, but the machine doesn’t work.	Too much water in the water basin	Remove the water tank. Take a small cup and remove some of the water from the machine’s water basin. Reinsert the water tank and make sure that it sits properly
The volume of spray mist is too low	Too much mineral scale in the water basin	Clean transducer
	Water is too dirty or water kept too long in the tank	Clean water tank and refill with clean water
Abnormal noise Vibration in	the water tank because the water level too low	Fill the water tank
	Machine is on and unstable surface	Move the unit to a stable flat surface
Spray mist is coming out of the area around the jets.	There are gaps between the nozzle and water tank	Dip the nozzle in water for a while, clean it with a damp cloth and put it back to the tank.

The following is not considered faulty operation:

• If your water is very hard (containing abnormally high levels of minerals) the humidifier may produce white dust. This is not a malfunction. The solution would be to clean the filter more often or use softer water.
• If you stand very close to the humidifier, you will hear the gurgling sound of water, this is normal.
• The machine operate very quietly but it is not completely silent. Noise levels less than 35 dB is considered normal.
