This document describes the Humidifier 2 in 1, a device designed to improve indoor air quality by adding moisture to the air and offering an aroma diffusion feature. It is intended for domestic and internal use, suitable for various settings such as staff kitchen areas, farmhouses, hotels, motels, and bed and breakfast environments.
The Humidifier 2 in 1 operates by releasing mist into the air, thereby increasing humidity levels. It features an ultrasonic transducer that generates the mist, a water tank to hold the water, and a mist nozzle to direct the vapor. The device also includes an aroma box, allowing users to add essential oils to diffuse fragrance along with the mist. A control knob enables adjustment of the mist volume, and a night light switch provides an additional feature for ambient lighting. The humidifier automatically shuts off when the water tank is empty, and an LED indicator changes color to signal low water levels.
Before initial use, it is crucial to ensure the humidifier is switched off. The water tank needs to be separated from the base, turned over, and its valve unscrewed for filling. The tank should be filled with tap or distilled cold water, and the valve must be closed tightly before placing the tank back on the humidifier base. It is important to wait a few seconds for the base to fill with water before plugging in the appliance.
To operate, the unit is plugged into a wall outlet, and the Volume Control knob is turned clockwise. The LED indicator will turn green, and turning the knob further to the right will increase the moisture output, while turning it to the left will decrease it and extend the run time. The mist nozzle can be adjusted to direct the vapor in the desired direction, but care must be taken to avoid directing it towards wall sockets or other electrical devices.
For the aroma diffusion feature, the aroma box, located in the mist nozzle, can be opened to add a few drops of essential oil to the sponge inside. Once the nozzle is fixed back, the aroma will be released with the mist when the humidifier is on. It is explicitly stated that essential oils should never be poured directly into the water tank.
The device is designed with safety in mind. It should not be placed near the human body to avoid discomfort, nor near wooden furniture to prevent dampness and damage. A minimum distance of 30cm from walls should be maintained for normal operation. Before each use, the supply cord should be checked for good condition. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified person to prevent hazards. The appliance should always be unplugged during filling and cleaning.
Children aged 8 years and above, as well as persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, can use the appliance if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning its safe use and understand the associated hazards. Children should not play with the appliance, and cleaning and user maintenance should not be performed by children without supervision.
The humidifier should never be plunged into water or any other liquid, and the plug should not be handled with wet hands. It is important not to leave the appliance working without supervision. The humidifier is not designed to be used with an external timer or a separate remote-control system. It should never be used without water, and detergents, chemicals, or fragrances should not be added to the water tank. Using distilled water is recommended for optimal operation. Water should not be left in the tank for long periods to prevent bacterial proliferation. The humidifier should be placed on a flat, stable surface, away from direct sunlight.
Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential for optimal performance and longevity of the humidifier. Before any cleaning or maintenance, the appliance must be turned off and unplugged to avoid electric shock.
The oscillating plate, which is crucial for mist generation, should be cleaned regularly. This involves taking out the water tank, pouring out any residual water from the sink, and using a clean brush to clean the oscillating plate. Household cleaners should not be used on the oscillating plate as they can affect its lifespan.
The outer appearance of the humidifier can be cleaned by wiping it with a soft, moist cloth after powering off and unplugging the unit. It is important to prevent water from flowing into the inside of the machine, as this can cause damage or electric shock. After cleaning, the appliance should be placed in a well-ventilated area to dry completely, away from direct sunlight, before being used again.
Descaling should be performed weekly or every other week, depending on water hardness, to optimize the unit's performance. This helps prevent mineral buildup that can affect the efficiency of the humidifier.
Troubleshooting guidance is provided for common issues. If water vapor and humidity are not produced, users should check if the power plug is properly inserted, if power has been restored after an outage, and if the tank is correctly attached. They should also ensure the floating ball is assembled in the proper place. If air blows but no water vapor is produced, it might indicate excessive water in the tank, requiring a reduction in water volume. A bad smell from the humidity suggests poor maintenance or dirty water, necessitating a thorough cleaning and refilling with fresh water. If the unit stops working, it is likely due to no or low water, and the unit should be unplugged and refilled.
Users are advised never to attempt to disassemble or repair the appliance themselves, as this will void the guarantee. Any repairs should be carried out by an authorized qualified electrician.
