Getting started
For the best performance place humidifier on the floor
in the corner of the room, facing into the centre. It should
be at least 1m from any wall. To avoid a cooling effect
while humidifying, the unit should be at least 1m from
any people. Consider placing near to air conditioning
or heating devices to circulate air effectively.

Using your humidifier
Please read the ‘Important Safety Instructions’ in this Dyson Operating
Manual before proceeding.
Introduction
• This is a cool mist, ultrasonic type of humidifier. Moist air is
directed into the room from the loop amplifier.
• Water passes over a UV-C emitter to ensure that it is 99.9%
bacteria-free before misting commences.
Location
• Always place the appliance on a firm, flat, level surface.
• Do not place the appliance on a rug, carpet, wooden flooring, or
any other surface that may be damaged by exposure to water or
moisture.
• It is recommended that a waterproof mat or pad is placed under
the appliance.
• Do not place the appliance underneath overhanging surfaces.
• Do not place the appliance in an area where it is accessible to
children.
• Store the appliance indoors. Do not use or store it below 5°C
(41°F). Ensure the appliance is at room temperature before
operating.
• For the best performance, place on the floor, in the corner of the
room, at least 1m from any wall and facing into the centre of the
room.
Operation
• All parts must be securely fitted before use.
• Do not use the appliance unless it has been cleaned according to
instructions.
• In humidifier mode do not use without water in the tank.
• Do not lubricate any part of this appliance.
• When switched on, a small blue LED on the back of the appliance
lights up to show that power is being received by the appliance.
(Note: It does not mean that the appliance itself is operating.)
• Once the water treatment cycle completes the appliance is ready
to begin humidification.
Setting humidity level
• On first use, the display will show ‘70%’, which is the highest
relative humidity setting. The fan will run on lowest airspeed, ‘01’.
For each use after this the appliance will remember the last target
humidity level and airflow speed set.
• The appliance will not operate unless the target humidity setting is
above the current room humidity level.
• The appliance will automatically adjust to avoid excessive
humidity.
• Mist will be visible only in certain conditions (impacted by light,
background colour, etc.) or at the lowest settings.
Automatic mode
• Press the AUTO button on the remote. This is the recommended
mode of operation.
• The appliance selects a comfortable humidity for the room, based
on environmental factors such as current humidity level and air
temperature.
• When the room reaches the appropriate humidity level the
appliance will switch itself ‘ON’ or ‘OFF’ as necessary to maintain
that level. The fan will remain running when the target humidity
has been reached.
Manual mode
• Select the desired humidity level (from 30% to 70%). When the
room reaches the target humidity level the appliance will switch
itself ‘ON’ or ‘OFF’ as necessary to maintain that level. The fan
will remain running when the target humidity has been reached.
Fan mode
• The fan mode button on the remote control turns the humidifier
mode ‘OFF’. Control the fan mode using the airflow and timer
buttons.
• No water is needed for the fan mode.
Control without the remote
• Press the Standby button on the appliance to turn ON/OFF.
• Press and hold the power button on the appliance to adjust the
humidity setting.
• Fan mode and the sleep timer cannot be operated without the
remote control.
• The air speed setting automatically sets to '05'.
Refilling
• When refilling, empty the tank completely (preferably washing
and drying it), then refill – this keeps the water fresh.
• With a full tank of cold tap water (3 litres) the appliance will run
for at least 10 hours, depending on the target humidity setting
and other environmental conditions. Do not add anything to the
water (such as scents, oils etc).
Cleaning the base
• Small water spillages may occur. While the amount of water in
the trough is not significant enough to damage the appliance,
significant care should be taken when emptying it. Ensure that
water does not enter through the inlets of the appliance. If some
water does pass through the inlets, dry the exterior with a cloth
and continue to use as normal.
Cleaning the tank
• Pour in the recommended citric acid solution. Replace the cap
and shake tank for 30 seconds. Then leave to stand. Af ter 15
minutes, empty the tank. Rinse and wipe over all surfaces. Repeat
if necessary.
Storage
• When not in use, unplug from the mains electricity supply.
• Store the appliance in a dry location and arrange the cable away
from traffic areas so that it will not be tripped over or damaged.
• Clean the appliance and tank as instructed before storing and
before re-use.

the base and pull to remove the battery.
• Do not install backwards or short circuit the batteries.
15
• Do not attempt to dismantle or charge the batteries. Keep away

• Follow battery manufacturers' instructions when installing new
batteries (battery type CR 2032).
• Limited functionality is available without the remote control (see
'Control without the remote').
Automatic cut-out
• If the appliance is tilted by over 5° the display will show a ‘tilted’
graphic. If after 15 minutes the appliance is not levelled it will
switch ’OFF’.
• If the appliance has been tilted make sure it is level and clear up
any spillage.
Troubleshooting
• Do not carry out any maintenance or repair work other than that
shown in this Dyson Operating Manual, or advised by the Dyson
Customer Care Helpline.
• An F3 failure message means the appliance is too cold. The
appliance will operate when it is above 5°C (41°F). If other failure
messages are displayed, contact the Dyson Helpline.
• If the UV-C emitter is exposed for any reason the appliance will
switch ‘OFF’.

Dyson Helpline.
