UNIQUE FEATURES & 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.
CAPACITY
1.4 gallons – 5.29 liters
RUNTIME: UP TO 65 HOURS
Runtime 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.
TOTAL COMFORT™ HUMIDIFIER
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.
HOW TO FILL

ATTENTION: When the water in the tank is almost empty, the humidifying function will power off to
indicate to the user to refill the tank.
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 (US) www.homedics.com, (CAN) www.homedics.ca
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

- Unscrew the tank cap by turning the cap counter-clockwise.
- Fill the tank with water as shown in the How to Fill section of the instructions included with your humidifier.
