Setting Up Your Humidifier

Unpack the Humidifier
Keep this Owner's Manual for reference
• Remove packaging materials. Remove twist tie from power cord and
extend power cord to full length.
• Place on a firm, level, water resistant surface a minimum of 12" (30cm)
from any walls. Mist should be directed away from any walls, bedding
and furniture.
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.
• To reduce white dust, use distilled water or a Protec PDC51V2 Demineralization Cartridge
available through Consumer Relations; see back of this manual.
