The estimated run time for this humidifier is based on aver-
age room conditions. The actual run time of your humidifier
is dependent on numerous variables such as:

✔

✔

Room construction of the room where the humidifier is placed.

✔

Temperature of the room where the humidifier is placed.

✔

Humidity levels in the room where the humidifier is placed.

If your unit has electronics, set it to your desired humidity
level. The unit will turn on and off, which will extend the run
time.

✔

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