Cool & Warm Mist Oscillating Ultrasonic Humidifier

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.

Warm or Cool Mist Option

Choose either warm or cool mist for customized comfort.

Oscillating Head

The humidifier features a motorized nozzle that automatically oscillates 120°. The oscillating
head can also be stopped at any point in the oscillation cycle to target the mist in a specific
direction.

Auto Shut-Off Protection

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

Voltage Watts Capacity

120V/60Hz 80 1.4 gallon – 5.11 liters

Run Time: 60 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.
