GENERAL INFORMATION
How Ultrasonic Humidifiers Work
Ultrasonic humidifiers operate on the principle of
high frequency oscillation of water molecules until
they are broken into ultra-fine particles (1-5μm). This
is done by a vibrating disc called a nebulizer (also
called an atomizer, oscillator, or transducer) inside
the humidifier. The fine mist created is then dis-
persed into the air by a fan.
With an ultrasonic humidifier, the water itself is atom-
ized. Most water contains minerals that can leave a
white dust when the humidifier's mist lands and dries
on surfaces. Your humidifier comes with a demin-
eralization cartridge specifically designed to trap
minerals before they are dispersed into the air. We
highly recommend using a demineralization cartridge
or using distilled or purified water to help control
dust being released into the air, but these are not
necessary for operation.
Replacement demineralization cartridges, part#-
DC4003PK, are available for purchase. (See page 11).

CAUTIONS Regarding Additives to Water

Only use cool, clean water to fill your humidifier.
Add water treatment for ultrasonic units to
•
maintain a clean humidifier.
Do not use softened water, if possible. Miner-
•
als, sodium and other sediments inside water
will be dispersed into the air.
Never add essential oils directly to the water.
•
It can damage the plastic seals and cause
leaks. Essential oils should be added only to
the diffuser tray.
Never add bacteriostat intended for evapora-
•
tive humidifiers.
