INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing a Robitussin®Warm Moisture Humidifier.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Water passes into the Power Unit where it is heated and purified. The Warm Moisture system then pulls the air through the top vent and spreads moisture-balanced air into the room.

MODEL DH-975

Your humidifier is made up of these parts:

Water Tank

invisible

Grille with Medicine Cup

Power Unit

Fill Cap

Removable Tray

Base

SET UP

NOTE: We recommend that the humidifier be disinfected prior to first use. Please

see WEEKLY CLEANING instructions.

• Select a firm, level, flat location - at least six inches (15 cm) from any wall for

proper air flow (Fig. 1). Place the humidifier on a water-resistant surface, as water can damage furniture and some flooring.

The manufacturer will not accept responsibility for property damage caused by water spillage.

FILLING

• Remove the water tank by grasping the handle and

pulling straight up. Set aside (Fig. 1).

• Turn the Water Tank upside down so that the Fill Cap

is facing up; unscrew the Fill Cap by turning it counter-clockwise and set aside.

Distilled water is not necessary as the water is purified by the heating element. Doing so may damage the humidifier.

• Replace the fill cap by turning it clockwise . DO

NOT OVER TIGHTEN.

NOTE: WHEN CARRYING THE FILLED WATER TANK, PLEASE USE THE HANDLE AND PLACE YOUR OTHER HAND UNDER THE TANK FOR ADDITIONAL SUPPORT.

• Turn the Water Tank right side up. Position the tank

into the humidifier and push it into place (Fig. 3).

the filled tank is properly in place.

• Once the filled tank has been positioned, do not

attempt to move the humidifier. If it has to be moved, unplug the humidifier and remove the water tank first.

CAUTION: DO NOT POUR WATER INTO THE GRILLE ON TOP OF THE HUMIDIFIER (Fig. 3). DOING SO MAY DAMAGE THE HUMIDIFIER OR CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.

WEEKLY CLEANING

We recommend cleaning the humidifier weekly, more often if you have hard water or notice a build-up of impurities or detect unpleasant odors.

Cleaning involves two steps SCALE REMOVAL and DISINFECTING. Be sure to perform these in the proper order to avoid harmful chemical interactions.

• First, turn off and unplug the humidifier. Wait at least 10 minutes for the unit to cool.

• Remove the Water Tank.

• To remove the Power Unit, pull the Latch to release

(found under the Water Tank) and lift the Power Unit (Fig. 6). Turn upside-down to check condition of heating element. If build-up of minerals is heavy, follow the CLEANING THE HEATING ELEMENT instructions. Set the Power Unit aside.

• Empty any water from the Base and Removable Tray.

2. Let solution stand for 20 minutes.

3. Rinse with water until the odor of bleach is gone.

NOTE: THE USE OF OTHER WATER TREATMENT PRODUCTS, CHEMICALS, SOAPS, DETERGENTS OR ABRASIVE CLEANSERS NOT RECOMMENDED IN THE MANUAL MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE HUMIDIFIER OR AFFECT PERFORMANCE.

CLEANING THE HEATING ELEMENT

If the unit stops producing mist, even while there is water in the tank, the mineral build-up may need to be removed from the heating element of the Power Unit.

How often you perform this special maintenance depends upon the hardness of the water you are using and how quickly mineral deposits form on the interior surfaces of the humidifier.

DO NOT clean the heating element under running water. Doing so may cause damage or personal injury.

1. Unplug the humidifier. Allow at least 10 minutes for the unit to cool.

2. The heating element is on the bottom of the Power Unit. To access it, remove the Power Unit by pulling on the Latch (found under the Water Tank) and lifting the Power Unit (Fig. 6).

Fig.7

3. Turn it upside down. BE SURE IT HAS COOLED SUFFICIENTLY.

4. Use a non-metallic brush or a soft, dry cloth to wipe the outer surfaces of the heating element (Fig. 7). Some deposit may remain, but should not interfere with the operation of the unit.
