The DH Lifelabs Aaira + Humidifier (AAE-50WN05) is a versatile home appliance designed to improve indoor air quality through both humidification and disinfection. This device utilizes advanced HOCI technology to create a powerful disinfectant from natural ingredients, ensuring a healthier living environment.
The primary function of the Aaira + Humidifier is to provide humidification, adding moisture to the air to combat dryness. This can be particularly beneficial in dry climates or during seasons when indoor heating reduces humidity levels. Beyond simple humidification, the device incorporates a unique disinfection capability. It uses HOCI (Hypochlorous Acid) technology, which involves taking water and non-iodized salt, and through a process of electrolysis, generating a potent disinfectant. This disinfectant is then released into the air, helping to neutralize airborne pathogens and create a cleaner, safer atmosphere. The device offers multiple fan speeds, including an ultra-quiet sleep mode, allowing users to customize the airflow and noise level to their preference. A timer function (2H/4H/8H) enables scheduled operation, automatically turning off the device after a set period. The control panel features a humidity indicator, displaying the current humidity rate in the room, and a disinfect indicator, which illuminates when the HOCI generation function is active.
Operating the Aaira + Humidifier is straightforward, guided by a quick start process. Before initial use, it's crucial to ensure the Cold Evaporation Filter (CEF) is securely in place and its lid is locked. For disinfection, the device requires non-iodized salt. Users fill a dedicated salt bottle with the salt and place three scoops (3 grams) on the top sides of the CEF lid. This step is skipped if only humidification is desired. After adding salt (if applicable), the top cover is closed. The water tank is then filled to the MAX line, ensuring that any salt on the CEF lid is washed into the water. Finally, the device is powered on, and users can select the desired fan speed and activate the sterilize function. The device is designed for household and indoor use only and should be placed on a firm, flat, level surface, at least three feet away from any walls or other devices for optimal performance. It's important not to cover the device while in use. The device is not recommended for children under the age of 8, and vulnerable consumers should have adequate supervision when interacting with it. Users are advised to only pour water into the water tank and to never use hot water. The device should not be used on wet surfaces, outdoors, or in bathrooms, nor should it be placed directly below a main electricity supply socket. When moving the device, it should be held by the base of the water tank, taking care to avoid spilling water. If water is spilled, the device should be wiped dry and allowed to dry completely before further use. The device should always be plugged directly into a wall socket, avoiding extension cords to prevent overloading and potential fire hazards. To unplug, users should grasp the plug, not the cord, and never handle the plug with wet hands.
Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity and effective performance of the Aaira + Humidifier. The water tank should be cleaned regularly with fresh water, and the external surfaces of the device should be wiped with a clean, dry cloth. If water remains in the tank for seven days, a specific alert process is triggered. This "Maintenance Alert" is indicated by a flashing water level indicator, flashing salt level indicator, flashing blue light, and a sound alert. To address this, users must power off the device, empty the water tank, rinse the CEF, add three scoops (3 grams) of non-iodized salt, and then refill the water to the MAX line.
Beyond regular cleaning, monthly descaling is recommended to prevent lime scale buildup, which can impact performance. The descaling process involves powering off the device, emptying the water tank, removing the CEF, and adding 50ml (2 oz) of 5% white vinegar. This solution should be left in the tank for one hour (without powering on the device). Afterward, the water tank should be emptied and thoroughly cleaned with fresh water.
The device also features a "CEF Replacement Indicator," which prompts users to press the Disinfect button for three seconds to reset the filter life countdown after a filter change. This ensures the device continues to operate with an effective filter.
Alerts are a key part of the maintenance system. A "Low Salt Alert" (solid salt level indicator, solid blue light, sound alert) or "Low Water Alert" (solid water level indicator, flashing blue light, sound alert) are addressed by the same process as the Maintenance Alert: power off, empty tank, rinse CEF, add salt, and fill water to MAX line. A "High Salt Alert" (flashing salt level indicator, flashing blue light, sound alert) also follows this same resolution process.
For storage, especially when the device will not be used for an extended period, it is recommended to empty the water tank and remove the CEF to allow it to dry. The device should then be stored in a cool, dry place, away from excessive moisture or direct sunlight. It's important to avoid storing the device where it might be exposed to sub-freezing temperatures, as this can cause damage.
The instruction manual emphasizes the importance of cleaning the water tank every three days to prevent the growth of micro-organisms, which can pose serious health risks if the water is not renewed and the tank is not properly cleaned. Similarly, the filter should be cleaned or changed as indicated. Users are reminded to turn off all controls before unplugging and to always unplug the device when not in use or during filling and cleaning.
