User manual KAZ HUT-102

[. . . ] To disconnect the humidifier, first turn controls to the OFF position, then grip the plug and pull it from the wall outlet. A loose fit between the AC outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause overheating and a distortion of the plug. The humidifier should always be unplugged and emptied when not in operation or while being serviced or cleaned. Never tilt or attempt to move the humidifier while it is operating or filled with water. [. . . ] Your humidifier comes with a Demineralization Cartridge that removes minerals from the water. This prevents the precipitation of minerals ("white dust") that can occur in hard water areas. The Demineralization Cartridge is designed to last for about a month to two months of normal use; the effective time will vary depending on the mineral content of the water used. If you live in a hard water area, we recommend the use of distilled water for better results from the humidifier. If you are using distilled water in the humidifier, you may find the Demineralization Cartridge unnecessary. And, if you choose, you may operate the humidifier without it. About "White Dust": Use of high-mineral-content water will cause a white mineral residue to accumulate on room surfaces near the humidifier. the mineral residue is commonly called "white dust". The higher the mineral content (the harder your water is), the greater the potential for white dust. The white dust is not caused by a defect in the humidifier, but is due only to minerals suspended in the water. Lift the Water Tank from the Base and empty all water from the reservoir. Remove the Tank Cap and drain any water from the Water Tank. Rinse the Water Tank with lukewarm water after each use. Gently wipe the reservoir with a soft, clean, wet cloth. DO NOT use detergent to clean any water-containing parts of the humidifier. Detergents and the film they leave behind can affect the output of the humidifier. DO NOT leave water in the Water Tank or reservoir when the unit is not in use as it may result in the buildup of mineral deposits and bacteria that can inhibit the output efficiency of the humidifier. Please note that if water remains in the Water Tank for more than a day or two, bacteria growth is possible. Thoroughly clean humidifier every week using a solution of bleach and water (one teaspoon of bleach in one gallon of water). Fill the Water Tank partially with this solution, let stand twenty (20) minutes, shaking vigorously every few minutes. Drain and rinse with clean water until the bleach smell is gone. Wipe the reservoir with a soft cloth dampened in the solution. [. . . ] This warranty applies only to the original purchaser of this product from the original date of purchase.
