Thank you for purchasing a CRANE Ultrasonic Humidifier. Each unit has been  
manufactured to ensure safety and reliability. Before using for the first time, please  
read the instructions carefully and keep them for further reference.  
WARNING! READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow all of  
the instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal  
injury.  
1. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced  
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, unless they have been given supervision  
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their  
safety.  
2. DO NOT operate outdoors. This humidifier is intended for indoor use only.  
3. Always have water in the Water Tank when operating the unit.  
4. Use only clean, cool tap water to fill the Water Tank (filtered or distilled water is  
recommended to avoid white dust if water is too hard). DO NOT use hot water.  
5. Be sure that the Water Tank Cap is firmly tightened on Water Tank. Place the  
humidifier so the mist aims away from children, walls, furniture and electrical  
appliances.  
6. Use only a 110-120VAC outlet. ALWAYS plug and unplug unit with dry hands  
to avoid electric shock.  
7. Never operate the unit with a damaged cord or plug.

unit when not in use and whenever you clean or move the unit.  
9. Do not add medication of any type into the Water Basin or Water Tank. Do not  
cover any openings on the unit or insert objects into any openings.  
10.The unit should not be left unattended in a closed room as the air could become  
saturated and leave condensation on walls or furniture. Leave room door partly  
open when humidifier is being operated.  
11. When cleaning the inside of the humidifier, keep water away from the Fan Vent.  
Turn off and unplug the humidifier to wipe the exterior (except the electrical  
controls) with a damp cloth. Humidifier requires regular cleaning. Please refer to

13.Do not use a detergent to clean any parts of the unit that contain water. Detergent  
film dissolved in the water supply can interfere with the output of the unit. Instead,  
always use white vinegar mixed with water to clean the humidifier.

Do not let your child play with this humidifier. Serious injury and  
electrocution might be possible. This humidifier has to be operated by an adult only.  
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the humidifier.  
SAVE ALL INSTRUCTIONS!  
CAUTION: A short Power Supply Cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal

other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this  
plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug  
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,  
contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety  
feature.

A NOTE ABOUT HUMIDITY  
.
.
It is best to keep the humidity level at about 40%-50% of relative humidity.  
In cold weather, windows and even some walls may fog or develop frost from  
excessive indoor humidity. If this occurs, reduce the mist output setting to avoid  
damage from condensed water dripping onto windowsills.  
.
.
Too much humidity in the room may allow moisture to accumulate on surfaces where  
bacteria and fungi can grow. Moisture that gathers may also damage furniture and  
walls, especially wallpaper.  
To reduce excessive humidity, especially in small rooms, leave the room door open  
and adjust the mist intensity control setting.  
MAINTENANCE  
It is important to keep ultrasonic cool mist humidifiers clean. Cleaning and disinfecting  
on a regular basis is important for maintaining the performance of your humidifier  
IMPORTANT  
DO NOT leave water in Water Tank or Water Basin when unit is not in use as it may  
result in the buildup of mineral deposits and bacteria that can inhibit the output  
efficiency of the humidifier. If water remains in the Water Tank for more than a day or  
two, bacterial growth is possible.

vinegar. Shake vigorously and let sit for 20-30 minutes. Shake vigorously again  
and empty the water. Rinse water tank.  
4. Make similar white vinegar/water solution. Pour into water basin. Let sit for 20-  
30 minutes, and then empty. Rinse water tank. Wipe dry with a clean, soft  
cloth.
