READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE ASSEMBLY AND USE.
KEEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

CAUTION

• Adult assembly is required. Keep small parts away
from children.

WARNING

• When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should

always be followed to reduce the risk of re, electric shock and
injury to person, including the following:

• Use appliance only as described in this manual. Any other

use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause re,
electric shock, or injury to persons. The use of attachments not
recommended or sold by the manufacturer may cause hazards.
DO NOT use outdoors.

• To avoid re or shock hazard, plug the appliance directly into

a 120V AC electrical outlet. DO NOT plug in the cord with wet
hands.

• Keep the cord out of heavy trafc areas. To avoid re hazard,

NEVER put the cord under rugs or near heat registers.

• DO NOT operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug,

after the appliance malfunctions, or if it has been dropped or
damaged in any manner. Return appliance to manufacturer for
examination, electrical or mechanical adjustment, or repair.

• DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust any electrical or mechanical

functions on this unit. Doing so will void your warranty. The
inside of the unit contains no user serviceable parts. All servicing
should be performed by qualied personnel only.

• Humidier should be unplugged when not in use.

• DO NOT place humidier near heat sources such as stoves,

radiators, and heaters. DO locate your humidier on an inside
wall near an electrical outlet. The humidier should be at least
12 inches (30.5 cm) away from the wall for best results. DO NOT
allow the mist outlets to directly face the wall. Moisture could
cause damage, particularly to wallpaper.

• NEVER place humidier in an area where it is accessible to children.
NEVER use humidier in a closed room, particularly where a child
may be sleeping, resting, or playing (a closed room may result in
excessive humidity). NEVER tilt, move, or attempt to empty unit
while it is operating. Shut off and unplug before removing the water
tank and moving the unit.

• DO NOT attempt to rell humidier without rst unplugging the unit
from its electrical outlet. Failure to heed this warning may cause
personal injury. Be sure to unplug the unit by pulling on the plug and
not the cord. Use both hands when carrying a full tank of water.

• DO NOT block air inlet or outlet while unit is running.

• Always place humidier on a rm, at, level surface. A waterproof
mat or pad is recommended for use under the humidier. NEVER
place it on a rug or carpet, or on a nished oor that may be
damaged by exposure to water or moisture. To prevent damage to
surfaces, DO NOT place humidier under overhanging surfaces.

• DO NOT use humidier in an area where humidity level is in
excess of 50%. Use a hygrometer, available at your local retailer,
to measure the humidity. Turn humidier off if excessive humidity
occurs.

• DO NOT pour water in any openings other than the water tank.

• NEVER place base under water ow or immerse in liquids.

• NEVER operate unit without water in the tank.

• NEVER touch exposed metal diaphragm in base after use. Metal will
be HOT.

• This humidier requires daily and weekly maintenance to operate
appropriately. Refer to daily and weekly cleaning procedures. Use only

cleaners recommended by the manufacturer.

• NEVER drop or insert any object into any openings.

How Does it Work?

Humidifiers provide comfort by adding
moisture to dry indoor air. The Soothing
Glow Cool Mist Humidifier uses ultrasonic
technology. A ceramic diaphragm silently
vibrates at a very high frequency to create
droplets, producing a cool fog or mist.

The humidifier should be placed with
the mist outlets directed away from any
nearby walls or furniture.

NOTE: The recommended humidity level is
between 35%-50%. A humidity level below
20% can be unhealthy and uncomfortable.

Under normal conditions, it is preferable
to use a lower setting on this humidifier.
The mist will not be visible at a low setting.
Only when the humidity level is extremely
low should the higher settings be used. A
white mist may be visible at higher settings
and there is an increased risk of moisture
damage, particularly to objects near the
humidifier.

• What are the variables that
affect run time?

• How do I remove film on
the tank?

• How can I extend run time?

• The estimated run time for this humidifier is based on average room conditions
and is dependent on numerous variables such as:

- Air exchange in the room.

- Room construction where the humidifier is placed.

- Temperature of the room.

- Humidity levels in the room.

- Movement of occupants and the opening and closing of doors in the room.

- Home furnishings in the room.

• See “Daily Maintenance” section. Regular cleaning is
recommended.

• Run your unit on the lowest setting.

• Fill tank all the way full and place on the base. Let water empty into the base
until it stops bubbling, then refill and re-seat tank again. This ensures maximum
water capacity and will extend run time.

Troubleshooting

Problems Causes Actions

• Unit does not turn on

• White powder coming out
of humidifier

• Dampness in rooms on
walls or windows

• Unit turns on and off

• Bubbles in the water or a
gurgling sound

• Water leakage

• Plug in power cord or re-seat tank

• Adjust the setting
to reduce mist output

• Use distilled or filtered water instead
of tap water

• Turn unit off or adjust the
setting to reduce mist output

• Refill tank

• Clean float (see Care & Maintenance)

• Clean gasket (see Care & Maintenance)

• Put humidifier on a level surface and
refill tank

• No action necessary

• See first diagram and corrective actions
above under “Problem 1.”

• Discard humidifier, as it cannot be repaired

• Unit is not plugged in or tank is not
seated properly

• High setting

(mist can look like white

powder)

•

Some chemicals used in safe water
treatment could become white
powder as the water vaporizes. This
is not a humidifier malfunction.

• High setting

• Tank is almost empty

• The float inside base unit is dirty

• Gasket in bottom of tank is dirty

• Humidifier is not on a level surface so
float is not able to operate properly

• Normal operation. As water enters
reservoir in base, air is displaced and
creates bubbles in tank and possibly
a gurgling sound.

• Water level in base reservoir may be
too high.

• Product may have been mishandled.

Question Answer

To Use

1 Ensure the humidifier is switched OFF and unplugged.
2 Select a location: Choose a flat and level surface 12 inches away from the wall. DO NOT place on a finished

floor or near furniture which can be damaged by too much moisture or water. Place on a moisture-resistant
surface.

3 Remove and fill tank: Remove mist outlet cover, lift tank off base and bring tank to the sink. Remove cap on

the bottom of tank and fill with clean, cool water, ideally distilled (Figure 1). Additives are NOT recommended.
Replace cap, turn tank so that cap faces down, and replace tank on the base. The tank will immediately begin to
empty into the base.

NOTE: Use both hands when carrying full tank of water. It is normal for the water level in the tank to decrease once
full tank has been replaced on base. The water from the tank has simply filled up the empty base.

4 Plug into a 120VAC electrical outlet.
5 Turn on: Turn knob on front of humidifier until power light glows.
6 Adjust mist direction: Rotate the 360° mist outlet and set the desired output level.
7 Turn off: To manually shut off, turn knob on front of humidifier until power light turns off. When water level is

low, mist will automatically shut off.

8 Night light: Press button to turn on night light. Press again to turn off.
