INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of your new Optimus Humidifier. This utilizes
ultrasonic (cool mist) technology to produce comfortable, soothing humidity.
ADVANTAGES OF MAINTAINING PROPER MOISTURE LEVELS
Dry indoor air can be uncomfortable and damaging to people, pets, plants and
belongings. Proper moisture levels can help alleviate or prevent:
* Stuffy, dry nasal passages * Dry plants, flowers
* Dry coughs and irritated throats * Static electricity
* Parched lips and itchy, flaky skin * Dry coats and minimizes shedding for pets
* Dry, cracking wood furniture
HOW YOUR HUMIDIFIER WORKS
Water flows from the tank into the tray. The ultrasonic transducer generates the mist. A
fan draws moisture and expels comfortable, soothing, visible moisture into the air.
PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Locate an appropriate level flat surface near an electrical outlet for placement of your
humidifier. When placing on the floor
do not place on shag or very high pile carpet or
rug.
Doing so may create an uneven surface. Be sure to
place your humidifier on a
water-resistant surface and away from furniture and electronics appliances since
water can cause damage to furniture and other possessions
. Position your
humidifier so that the electrical cord and the humidifier do not become a tripping hazard.
To ensure proper ventilation be sure to keep all sides and top of your humidifier at
least 12 inches from walls or any objects
.
SETUP
Remove the tank, turn the tank upside-down and remove the cap by turning
counter-clockwise. Fill the tank with cool water, for best results use distilled or filtered
water.
Do not use hot water or additives.
Replace the cap by turning clockwise; be
sure not to over tighten. Turn the tank upright and position the tank back on the housing.
Be sure the tank is seated properly in the housing. Water will begin to flow from the tank
into the tray.
NOTE: The tank has a locator tab near the front on the outer rim of the tank. This locator
tab is to fit into the corresponding hole on the front rim of the housing. Be sure when
placing the tank in the housing the tab is properly inserted into the hole.
OPERATION
With the Power Control Knob in the OFF position, plug the humidifier into a polarized
120VAC outlet.
The best working environment for humidifier is between the temperatures of 5°C (41°F)
and 40°C (104°F) and relative humidity is lower than 80%RH. Use the ON/OFF knob to
turn the unit on or off. Turn the Mist Control knob to adjust the mist output.
REFILLING THE TANK
When the tank is empty and the water reaches a minimum level in the tray, the unit will
automatically shut down and stop producing moisture. The Refill light will be on. Turn
off and unplug the power cord. Refill the tank with cool water, for best results, use
distilled or filtered water.
Do not use hot water or chemical additives
. Properly
replace the tank, plug into an outlet and turn the humidifier ON. Comfortable, soothing,
invisible cool mist will be produced immediately.
