FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The estimated run time for this humidifier is based on average room
conditions. The actual run time of your humidifier is dependent on
numerous variables such as:
✔ Air exchange in the room where the humidifier is placed.
✔ Room construction of the room where the humidifier is placed.
✔ Temperature of the room where the humidifier is placed.
✔ Humidity levels in the room where the humidifier is placed.
✔ Movement of occupants and the opening and closing of doors in the
room where the humidifier is placed.
✔ Home furnishings in the room where the humidifier is placed.
✔ See Daily Maintenance instructions. Regular cleaning is recommended.
✔ Run your unit on the lowest setting.
✔ If your unit has electronics, set it to your desired humidity level. The
unit will turn on and off, which will extend the run time.
✔ Fill the tank all the way full, place it on the base, let the water empty
into the base until it stops bubbling, then refill the tank full again.
This ensures maximum water capacity and will extend run time.
✔ Slide the Extended Run Switch to the right (see instructions from the
"Extended Run Time Setting" section on this manual).
SOLUTION
✔ Plug in unit.
✔ Have outlet replaced by a licensed electrician.
✔ Wait 30 minutes for filter to absorb water.
✔ Operate in High (II) setting.
