GENERAL ADVICE
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
•
Before putting your humidifier into operation for the first time, the instruction manual should be
studied carefully.
•
After receiving the humidifier, you should check the unit for any transport damage. In case of
damage, you should inform the sender immediately.
•
The humidifier should be placed on a steady, flat surface. Do not place the humidifier close to
any heat sources, such as a fireplace or stove. Avoid the humidifier being placed in direct
sunlight.
•
Ensure the humidifier is placed away from any furniture or electronic appliances to avoid any
damage via damp.
•
Keep the packaging for the humidifier in a safe place in order to be able to despatch the unit
safely if it requires a service. In order to save space, you can simply cut through the adhesive
tape using a knife and fold the cardboard box.
HUMIDIFIER PRINCIPLES
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
High speed vibrations inside the humidifier create tiny water particles that are blown into the room from
the top of the humidifier.
We recommend setting the humidifier to reach a target level of 40%rh to 60%rh. Mould forms at 68%rh
so it is important not to set the target humidity level too high.
The ultraviolet lamp in the base of the humidifier when turned on will kill bacteria and germs that might
be present in the water to ensure that the mist that is humidified is as clean as possible. As part of this
process the plastic in the base will discolour and will turn yellow. This is not a fault and is impossible to
prevent, it is proof that the UV is doing its job. The UV lamp turns off when the tank is removed from
the base. Never try and look directly at an UV lamp when in use as it could damage your eyesight.
It is very normal for an ultrasonic humidifier to create a puddle of water on whatever surface it is standing
on. You can avoid or reduce this by directing the mist nozzles away from each other to ensure that the
mist goes in different directions and it is not all concentrated in the one area. You can also reduce the
mist output if necessary, to reduce the amount of moisture landing in front of the humidifier. A Meaco
Fan could also be used to help distribute the mist around the whole of your room.
If the furniture that you are placing the humidifier is vulnerable to moisture damage, then we recommend
using a different location or protecting the surface in front of the humidifier.
