7. If mist is not produced, unplug cord and check the Water Sensor in the Reservoir to ensure it is in contact with the water. The water level in the Base must be high enough to partially immerse the Water Sensor in order for the humidifier to work. 8. Turn the humidifier off before removing and refilling the Water Tank. When the Tank is empty the mist will stop although the fan will continue to operate. 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. Kaz Demineralization Cartridge (Model DC-51) This Humidifier may be supplied 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. Replacement Cartridge Model DC-51 should be available where you purchased the humidifier. For assistance in locating an outlet near you or to purchase directly from Kaz, please call (800) 477-0457. Care and Cleaning CAUTION: ALWAYS TURN OFF THE POWER SWITCH AND DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD FROM THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET BEFORE CLEANING. Daily Maintenance: 1. Lift the Water Tank from Base and empty all water from the Reservoir. Remove the Tank Cap and drain any water from the Water Tank. Wipe it clean with a soft, damp cloth. The Mist Nozzle should be removed during cleaning to prevent damage. 2. Do not immerse the Base in water. Gently wipe the Reservoir with a soft, clean, wet cloth. Do not attempt to remove or in any other way modify the Water Sensor. Use care when wiping around the Water Sensor; it is delicate and can be easily damaged. Rinse the Water Tank with lukewarm water after each use. For storage, wipe dry with a soft, clean cloth. Keep water away from the Air Outlet.
