Unique Features and Specifications

Ultrasonic Technology

This humidifier uses ultrasonic high frequency technology to convert the water into 1–5 million
super particles that are dispersed into the air evenly.

Night Light

A useful night light feature is included for your convenience.

Auto Shut-Off Protection

When the tank is empty the unit will shut off automatically.

Voltage Watts Capacity

120V/60Hz 25 1 gallon – 3.78 liters

Run Time: 36 hours

Run time is calculated based on using cool water and setting the mist level between the low
and medium settings. Based on the natural humidity level in your home, the temperature of
water you use, and the mist level setting you choose, you may experience longer or shorter
run times.

CAUTION: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider than
the other). To reduce the risk of shock, this plug is intended to fit only
one way in a polarized outlet. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
DO NOT attempt to defeat this safety feature. To do so could result in
an electric shock hazard.

2. Turn the tank upside down—remove the tank cap by
turning it counter-clockwise. (Fig. 4)

3. Fill the water tank with clean, cool
tap water. We recommend using distilled water if you
live in a hard water area. (Fig. 5)

4. Replace the tank cap by turning clockwise until tight.
(Fig. 6)

5. Install the tank back on the base of the unit. Make sure
the tank is firmly seated. (Fig. 7)

NOTE: It is normal to have a small amount of water in the
base during and after use.

About White Dust:

Use of high mineral content hard water may cause a white mineral residue to accumulate on
surfaces in the room near the humidifier. The mineral residue is commonly called “white dust.”
The higher the mineral content (or, the harder your water is), the greater the potential for white
dust. The white dust is not caused by a defect in the humidifier. It is caused only by minerals
suspended in the water.

How and Why To Use Demineralization Cartridges:

The HoMedics demineralization cartridge will help reduce the potential for white dust, a
deposit of minerals left behind from using hard water in your humidifier. The cartridge should
be replaced every 30 – 40 fillings. The cartridge may need to be replaced more often if
you are using very hard water. Replace the cartridge when you notice an increase in white
dust build-up. If white dust still forms around the humidifier after a new cartridge has been
installed, consider using distilled water. To purchase new demineralization cartridges, model
# UHE-HDC4, go back to the retailer (where you purchased your humidifier), or
visit www.homedics.com

If you live in an area with hard water, or use a water softener, we recommend using
distilled water for better results from your humidifier. Never use water softening
additives in your humidifier.

Installation Instructions

1. Remove demineralization cartridge from packaging and let it soak
in water for 10 minutes.

2. Remove the tank from humidifier base and turn it over.

3. Unscrew the tank cap by turning the cap counter-clockwise.

4. Fill the tank with water as shown in the How to Fill section of the instructions included
with your humidifier.

5. Add the soaked demineralization cartridge into the tank.

6. Replace the tank cap by turning clockwise.

7. Place the tank back on the base.

Cleaning and Care

CAUTION: Before cleaning the unit, turn power off and unplug unit from the outlet.

To Clean the Tank

Remove the tank from the humidifier base by lifting it
from the main unit. Unscrew the tank cap and rinse
inside the tank with clean water.
To remove any scale or build-up, use a 50/50 mixture of
vinegar and lukewarm water to clean the inside of the
tank. (Fig. 8)

Suggestion: Clean the water tank once every two to
three weeks, depending on your water conditions.

To Clean the Ultrasonic Membrane

Pour a 50/50 mixture of vinegar and water on
the surface of the ultrasonic membrane, then soak
for five minutes. Brush clean with a soft-bristle brush
(not included) and rinse. NEVER touch the ultrasonic
membrane with your fingers as the natural oils in skin
can damage the membrane. (Fig. 9)

Suggestion: Clean the membrane once
every two to three weeks, depending on your water
conditions.

NOTE: Never submerge the base in water or any liquid.

To Clean the Surface

Clean the surface of your humidifier with a clean, damp,
soft cloth as often as needed. (Fig. 10)
