Sonic Air - User Manual

This document describes the Sonic Air Humidifier, an appliance designed to increase humidity in a room. The humidifier operates by converting water into a fine mist, which is then dispersed into the air.

Function Description

The Sonic Air Humidifier's primary function is to release moisture into the air, helping to alleviate issues associated with dry environments, such as dry skin, irritated sinuses, and static electricity. It utilizes nebulizers or membranes to create a fine mist from the water stored in its tank. The device is equipped with a control knob that allows users to switch the unit on and off, as well as regulate the volume of mist output, enabling precise control over the desired humidity level. A safety system is integrated to automatically stop the sprayers when the water tank is empty, preventing damage to the unit and signaling the need for a refill.

Usage Features

To operate the Sonic Air Humidifier, users should first ensure the input voltage and frequency match the specifications on the base unit's label. The unit must be placed on a flat, level surface for stable operation.

Filling the water tank involves removing the cover and lifting the tank from the base using its handle. The tank is then turned upside down, its filling cap opened, and filled with purified water no warmer than 40°C. The use of poor quality tap water is discouraged as it may lead to malfunctions. After filling, the cap should be replaced, any water on the tank's surface wiped away, and the tank firmly placed back onto the base. Finally, the cover is replaced, and the mist output assembly is inserted into the slot on top of the water tank.

The control knob serves as the main interface for operation. Turning the knob switches the unit on and allows for adjustment of the mist volume to achieve the desired humidity. The device includes a power indicator light that changes color to communicate its status: a green light indicates normal operation, while a red light signals a low water level or an empty tank. When the water tank is empty, the safety system automatically stops the sprayers, and the power must be switched off before removing the tank for refilling.

Several precautions are outlined to ensure safe and effective use. Water exceeding 40°C should not be used, as it can cause serious damage. The humidifier should not be moved while in operation to prevent water from spilling into the internal components. Care must be taken during cleaning and moving to avoid water entering the air outlet in the base unit. The unit should not be kept in strong light or a hot environment, nor placed in a draft, and should be kept away from furniture and electrical appliances. It is crucial not to pour remaining water out of the base unit before switching off the power, as this can burn out the transducer. The humidifier should always be placed out of reach of children. In case of abnormal sounds or smells during operation, the unit must be turned off and disconnected from the power source, and any necessary maintenance should be conducted by professional personnel. Before cleaning, adding water, or moving the humidifier, it must be turned off and removed from the power source. The humidifier should never be turned on if there is no water in the base unit. Users should also pay attention to the humidifier's environment to ensure normal operation and prevent accidents. The humidifier is not recommended for use in rooms with temperatures exceeding 45°C.

For safety, users should avoid pulling out the plug with wet hands. The unit contains no user-serviceable components, and any repairs must be carried out by suitably qualified personnel. If the unit is not on a level surface, it should be switched off before repositioning. The transducer or any base components should not be touched when the unit is switched on. The unit should not be altered in any way, as this could cause inconvenience or harm. If the power cord is damaged, the unit should be stopped immediately, and the cord must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons to avoid hazards. Children should not operate the machine. The appliance is not designed for use by individuals with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction by a person responsible for their safety.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is essential for the longevity and optimal performance of the Sonic Air Humidifier. The water tank should be cleaned every two weeks by removing the filling cap, cleaning the inside with a soft cloth, and rinsing with purified water. The base unit requires cleaning once a week using a soft cloth or brush, and then rinsing with purified water.

To clean the transducer, if encrustation is present on its surface, a cleaning agent such as oxalic acid or citric acid can be used. The transducer should be cleaned with cotton and then rinsed with purified water. It is important not to leave the base unit filled with water if it will be idle for an extended period. Before storage, all parts of the humidifier should be cleaned, wiped dry, or air-dried, and the unit should be stored in its original packing box.

Troubleshooting guidance is provided for common issues. If the power light is off and there's no airflow or mist, possible causes include a disconnected power supply or the main switch being off. The solutions are to connect the power supply and turn it on, or simply turn on the switch. If the power light is on and there's airflow but no mist, it could be due to no water in the tank or the water level protection switch not being properly closed. The solutions are to add water to the tank or reinstall the water tank. If the power light is on but there's no airflow or mist, the water level in the base unit might be too high. The solution is to remove some water from the base unit and screw on the cover. Little mist output can be caused by encrustation on the transducer or dirty/old water. Cleaning the transducer or replacing with clean water are the recommended solutions. If water in the tank does not flow down, the hole in the watertank cover may be blocked, requiring it to be cleaned. If issues persist after these checks, the product should be returned to the supplier for further assistance.
