AbOUT THE UNIT
Why isn‘t there enough moisture in my room?
• How often do you run the unit? If the unit is only run at
night, then during the day the moisture level will drop if
moisture is not constantly added to the air.
• Wood, leather, carpet, curtains, and other types of fabric
soak up a lot of moisture, thus not leaving enough moisture
in the air. If the window is left open, then this allows mois-
ture to escape from the room. A common reason is that the
unit is placed next to a heating device in order to distribute
quickly the moisture around the room with the hot air. Un-
fortunately, this concept does not work because the hot air
coming out of a vent will soak up most of the moisture, and
none of the air within the room will receive any.
Should I leave my door open or closed when
the unit is running?
• Leaving the door open allows moisture to leave the room
and go into other areas of the house. If you would like the
moisture to stay within one specific room you should con-
sider closing the door while the unit is running.
How much moisture do I need in my room?
• Suggested humidity level is between 40–60%.
What are the effects of too little or too much
humidity?
• Dry air can cause dry skin, static electricity, out of tune musi-
cal instruments, increased levels of dust (dry air causes dust
to rise), damage to wooden objects (dry out and eventually
cracks appear), discomfort, sickness, and dries out nasal
membranes. Over-humidifying the air can cause mold and
peeling of wallpaper.
Why do I need a humidifier when I can just open
my window?
• The moisture level within the outside air is not high enough
to humidify a room. The colder the air the less moisture it
is capable to hold, and the more the air is heated up the
percentage of relative humidity is lower. Relative humidity
means the amount of water vapor in the air, compared to
the amount the air could hold if it was totally saturated. The
difference is higher between outside and inside tempera-
tures; more humidification is needed because of the dry air
in the room
Where should I place my humidifier?
• The unit should be free-standing, on a flat surface and not
close to a wall, window, door, or thermal bridge so that air
can circulate around and underneath the unit.
If my unit runs dry is that ok?
• If there is a possibility that you will be unable to add water
to the unit and it will run dry, turn the unit off before you
leave. The unit will not be able to humidify the air if there is
no water in it, and you may notice a foul odor.
Can this unit be used all year round?
• Yes, the unit can be used all year round. The unit produces
relative humidity which means that the air will only take as
much moisture as it can hold. The unit will not over-humidify
the air.
Is it ok to put the removable water base in the
dishwasher?
• Do not place the removable water base in the dishwasher.
The removable water base will melt. Fill the removable
water base with the prescribed ratio of water an EZCal as
described on the packaging of EZCal. EZCal will remove
mineral deposits from the removable water base.
Can I use distilled water?
• Yes you can. The evaporator does not need the minerals in
the tap water to function properly.
What is EZCal?
• There is a sample packet of EZCal included in the packa-
ging of your humidifier. EZCal from AIR-O-SWISS is an easy
and safe cleaning and descaling agent recommended for
all humidifiers. It removes mineral deposits from the water
base. It is available at selected retail stores.
ACCESSORIES
What is the Ionic Silver Stick (ISS) and how long is
it good for?
• The ISS is effective in preventing the growth of bacteria and
molds in standing water. It needs to be replaced once a
year. The ISS can be used in all AIR-O-SWISS products plus
in all other humidifier brands.
Placement of the Ionic Silver Stick
• The ISS is effective in preventing microbial growth in stan-
ding water. Please see the quick set up guide for more
instructions.
Replacement reminder

ISS lifecycle indicator. Check the box of the month when
starting to use the ISS and write the year on the line in-
dicated. Exchange it after 12 months.
