Getting to Know Your Humidifier
How It Works
Water is released into the Reservoir when the Float Paddle engages the Plunger at the bottom of the Water
Tank. A Nebulizer vibrates at ultrasonic frequency, breaking the water into a fine mist. The mist is quietly
propelled by a fan up a vertical Mist Chamber to the Mist Outlet where the cool, visible mist enters the room.
This humidifier will shut off when the water level is low or when the tank is removed from the base.

Setting Up Your Humidifier
Float Paddle Installation – required for humidifier to operate
This humidifier uses a float system to regulate the water flow from the Tank to the Reservoir. The Float
Paddle must be properly installed for the unit to operate. If not properly installed, water may not flow into
the Reservoir or it may leak from the Base. The Float Paddle is designed to be easy to install and remove.
CAUTION: Improper placement of the Float Paddle could result in leaking or water
not feeding to the Reservoir.

Hard Water and White Dust
High mineral content in your water, also known as hard water, may cause a white mineral residue to
accumulate on surfaces in the room near the humidifier. This mineral residue is commonly referred to
as white dust. The higher the mineral content (hardness) of your water, the greater the potential that an
ultrasonic humidifier may produce white dust.
White dust is not a result of a defect or flaw in the humidifier. It is a result of the amount of minerals
suspended in the water you are using.
