2055 FAQ’s

Q.Why do I need a humidifier when I can just open my window?

A.The moisture level within the outside air is not high enough to humidify a room.

Q.Where should I place my humidifier?

A.The unit should be free-standing and not close to a wall, window, door, or thermal bridge so that air may circulate around the unit.

2055 FAQ’s

Q.I fill the water tank, and when I place it back on the unit all of the water goes into the base. Why is that?

A.Water is needed in the base of the unit for the removal of particles from the air, and for the humidification of the air. The first time the tank is filled up and placed on the unit, all of the water will go into the base of the unit. The water tank acts as a reserve, and may be filled up a second time to have extra water available.

Q.If my unit runs dry is that ok?

A.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 remove particles from the air if there is no water, and you may notice a foul odor. Except of the 2055 Digital that uses the automatic switch-off.

Q.Can this unit be used all year round?

A.Yes, the unit can be used all year round. The unit pro­ duces 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.

Q.If there is no water left in my water tank, for how many hours will the water in base last?

A.An exact answer cannot be given for this as there are many factors that depend on how long the water will last for. It all depends on the size of the room, if it is very dry, among other things to know how quickly wa­ ter will evaporate into the air. If you notice that there is no water left in the water tank, it is always a good idea to refill the tank to have extra water available.

Q.Is it ok to put my humidifying plates in the dishwasher?

A.The manufacturer of this appliance does NOT recom­ mend it. The plates can only be placed in a dishwasher where the temperature is no greater than 131°F / 55ºC.

If the temperature is any hotter than this, the plates will

en

melt. Place the plates in a sink filled with warm water

 

and white vinegar or EZCal and either let them soak or

 

spin the plates in this solution. Or, add white vinegar

 

 

or EZCal to the water in the base of the unit and let the

 

unit run for an hour to clean the plates.

 

It is good to have calcium deposits built up on the

 

plates as it will capture more particles from the air and

 

add more moisture to the air.
