Thank you for purchasing our 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
the instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal

advisable to carry filled water tank with two hands.
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 tank (filtered or distilled water is
recommended to avoid white dust if tap water is too hard). DO NOT use hot water.
5. Be sure that the filling cap of the tank is firmly tightened. Always have the mist
direction nozzle and the mist chamber in place while the unit is operating. Place the

clean or move the unit.
9. Do not add medication of any type into the nozzle, base 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.
11.When cleaning the inside of the unit keep water away from the air outlet / fan vent
(see FIG.3). The exterior may be wiped with a damp cloth, except the electrical

OPERATION AND USE
BEFORE EACH USE
CHECK HUMIDIFIER PLACEMENT - Place the Humidifier on an elevated non-metallic
waterproof surface for best performance. This is to help disperse the mist in the air,
and prevent it from being knocked or tipped over.
CHECK WATER LEVEL SENSOR - Make sure that the water level sensor is secured
properly. Refer to Water Level Sensor on page 9 for instructions on how clean and
assemble water level sensor.
CHECK FAN VENT
This fan vent is located on the bottom of
the humidifier. The purpose of the fan
vent is to blow the cool mist through the
vapor outlet slots. It is important that
this part is kept clean and free of
obstructions. We recommend checking
the fan vent before using this item (i.e.
lint, paper).
Do not place humidifier on top of a
towel, or a carpeted surface. The fan
vent on the bottom may become
blocked, and overheat the
humidifier.

Note: To avoid possible white dust due to hard water it
is recommended to use filtered or distilled water.
DO NOT use hot water. Use cool tap water.
DO NOT add any medication or other additives to the
water.
Fig. 7
DO NOT pour water into Vapor Outlet Channel (Fig. 2 on
page 4)
4. Replace the water tank cap, aligning the threads on the
tank with the threads on the cap, and turn it clockwise.
(See Fig. 8)
Fig. 8
5. Turn the tank over, holding it by the top handle, and
place it on the central body, making sure it fits perfectly.
Place the water tank cap with output slots on top of the
water tank. (see Fig. 9)

7. The Power Light will turn on red. In a few seconds it will switch to green, indicating
that enough water is in the water basin, and mist will start emitting through the
openings at water tank lid.
8. Use the humidity output regulator control knob to adjust
the intensity of the mist output. Turning the knob
clockwise will increase the moisture output, turning the
knob counterclockwise with reduce the moisture output.
(see Fig. 10)
Note: When at maximum level it is normal to hear a faint
dripping sound.
Fig. 10
9. When the humidifier runs out of water the power light will turn red, and the mist
output will stop. This is a safety feature to prevent the humidifier from possibly over
heating and damaging the nebulizer. This safety feature uses a water level sensor to
stop the nebulizer once the water level sinks below the required level in the water
basin. Turn the humidifier off and unplug before removing and refilling the water
tank. Please note that the power light on the humidifier body will stay on.
The (red) light signal indicates that the humidifier is turned on and needs to
be refilled.
INSERTING HUMIDIFIER FILTER
(SOLD SEPARATELY not included with your humidifier)
A humidifier filter is an optional accessory for your Crane Cool Mist Humidifier.
Filters are used to eliminate white dust caused by hard water and to reduce
mold spores and bacteria that can build up in your humidifier.
Place humidifier filter in humidifier as shown in Fig. 10A
NOTE: Do not leave filter in humidifier longer than
recommended time. See filter instructions on filter box
packaging.
Filters are not included with the humidifier and can be
purchased separately.
Fig. 10 A
SET THE CORRECT HUMIDITY OUTPUT
Adjust the mist control so that the mist
rises up and gets absorbed by the room
air. Do not turn on too high an output
as the mist cannot be absorbed by the
air and accumulates on the surface
around the humidifier.
If the humidifier is placed near a fan or
air conditioning outlet the mist may be
forced down by the foreign air stream.
Change the location of the humidifier or
reduce the output of the other room
correct
wrong
conditioning appliances.

A NOTE ABOUT HUMIDITY
ƒ
ƒ
It is best to keep the humidity level at about 30-50 percent of relative humidity.
The comfort level of humidity will vary from room to room and with changing room
conditions.
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
In cold weather, windows and even some walls may fog or develop frost from
excessive indoor humidity. If this occurs, reduce the mist intensity setting to avoid
damage from condensed water dripping on 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 eliminate excessive humidity, especially in small rooms, leave the room door open
and adjust the mist intensity control setting.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the appliance is unplugged and switched OFF
before cleaning or attempting to store the item. NEVER PLUG OR
UNPLUG UNIT WITH WET HANDS.
DO NOT leave water in water tank or water basin when unit is not
in use as it may result in the build up of mineral deposits and
bacteria that can inhibit the output efficiency of the humidifier.
PLEASE NOTE that if water remains in the water tank for more
than a day or two, bacterial growth is possible.
ALWAYS use fresh cool water when using unit.
NOTE: When removing water tank, water may accumulate under vapor lid and on the
bottom of the water tank. It is recommended to have a dry cloth ready to dry wet
surfaces.
DISINFECTING THE WATER TANK AND WATER BASIN
1. Fill water tank with 1 teaspoon of household bleach in 1 gallon of water. Let
stand twenty minutes, shaking vigorously with two hands every few minutes,
drain and rinse with clean water until the bleach smell is gone. Dry with a clean
cloth or paper towel.
2. Wipe the water basin with a soft cloth dampened in the bleach and water
solution. Rinse the water basin with cool water to remove any bleach smell. DO
NOT IMMERSE WATER BASIN IN WATER.
3. Wipe all exteriors surfaces of the base with a soft, dry cloth. Do not immerse the
base in water or use water to clean the base. An electric shock may result or the
humidifier may be damaged.
NOTE: It is recommended to clean humidifier with water and bleach solution as stated
above after using the humidifier the fourth time.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Before any cleaning operation, switch the humidifier off and unplug it.
1. Always unplug the unit before cleaning.
2. The humidifier must be drained and cleaned before storing.
3. Once unplugged the exterior of the unit may be cleaned by wiping with a soft dry
cloth. Caution: The ON/OFF switch must be thoroughly dry before unit is again
plugged into power source.
4. There may be some lime deposits in the nebulizer, particular in areas with hard
water. Overcome this drawback by cleaning the nebulizer with water and vinegar on
a soft cloth regularly, as follows:
A. Dampen a cloth with vinegar and wipe the nebulizer gently, until the lime
deposits disappear completely.
B. Rub down gently with a dry cloth and remove remains of humidity.
C. Do not rub the nebulizer with solid objects.
D. Do not clean with chemical products
5. When cleaning the water basin do not place the nebulizer directly under the water
tap.
6. Never immerse the unit in water or let water enter the fan vent (see figure 3) or
any other openings.
7. It is normal for water to be in the water basin. However water must not get inside
the central body. If this should happen, take the humidifier to an authorized service
center before using it again.
8. Clean the inside of the water tank at least once a week, as follows:
A. Fill the tank with clean water adding a few drops of bleach. Close the tank
completely with its cap and shake by holding the tank with both hands. Do
not hold by handle while shaking the tank.
B. Rinse thoroughly.
Water Level Sensor- The water level sensor is made of three key parts. When
cleaning DO NOT MISPLACE these parts and MAKE SURE that you assemble these three
parts correctly after cleaning and before operating humidifier. They are as follows:
Plastic Cap – this part has 4 flat tabs coming out from the bottom and is placed on top
of a plastic pin.
Water Float - a small round part resembling a “life saver” candy located underneath
the plastic cap.
Pin – plastic pin that secures water float and plastic cap.
To clean the water float unscrew the plastic cap from the pin. Remove the water float
and clean by wiping the parts with a soft damp cloth. Replace the parts by first putting
the water float onto the pin and re-screwing the plastic cap onto pin.

STORING YOUR HUMIDIFIER
Allow the appliance to dry completely before storing. Store the appliance in a dry
location. Do not place any heavy items on top of appliance during storage as this may
result in possible damage of the appliance. Store the cord in a clean, dry location away
from metal objects. Always check the plug before use to assure metal items have not
become attached.
ƒ
ƒ
Save the box for off-season storage.
Make sure the tank, water basin and water tank cap are thoroughly dry before
storing.
ƒ
If water is left in the unit during storage, it may evaporate completely and leave
deposits that can prevent the unit from operating properly.
Leave the water tank refill cap loose to prevent the water cap (see figure 4) and
gasket from sticking together. This will prolong the life of the gasket.
