8 Troubleshooting

This chapter summarizes the most common problems you could encounter with the

humidier. If you are unable to solve the problem with the information below, visit

www.philips.com/support or call 1-866-309-8817 for assistance.

Problem Possible solution

The humidier does

not work.

• Make sure that the humidier is connected to an electrical

outlet.

• Make sure the reservoir is lled with water and the upper

unit is placed properly onto the reservoir.

• If the problem persists, call 1-866-309-8817 for assistance.

There is no air

humidication.

• Make sure the reservoir is lled with water and the upper

unit is placed properly onto the reservoir.

• The humidier will stop working if the current humidity

level reaches 70%RH. Humidity level above 70%RH

does not make users feel comfortable, so the humidier

automatically turns o to ensure optimal humidication

performance.

The reservoir leaks. • Make sure the humidier is not overlled with water.

• Make sure the humidier is properly assembled every time

after you clean it or after you remove the upper unit and/or

reservoir for relling.

• Make sure the reservoir is properly placed. If the problem

persists, call 1-866-309-8817 for assistance.

I do not see the

current humidity

indication change.

• Make sure you have assembled the lter around the lter

support.

• The lter is dirty. Rinse and/or descale the lter (see the

chapter ‘Cleaning the lter’ and ‘Removing scale‘).

• Your room might have too much ventilation. Please close

doors and windows.

• Your room size is too big. The recommended room size is

269 sq.ft/25m

2

.

There are some white

deposits on the lter.

• The white deposits are called scale and they consist of

minerals from the water. Scale on the lter aects the

humidifying performance, please follow the cleaning

instructions in the user manual.

The lter turns

yellowish after some

time.

• The yellow deposits are a natural eect of the wick

material, and it has no impact on humidication

performance. Clean the lter to remove the scale, and

replace the lter every three months.

15

EN

English

Problem Possible solution

There is an

unpleasant smell

coming out from the

humidier.

• Make sure that the reservoir is lled with water.

• Clean the lter (see the chapter ‘Cleaning the lter’).

No air comes out of

the air outlet.

• Put the plug of the humidier into the wall outlet and turn

on the humidier.

I do not see visible

mist coming out of

the humidier. Is it

working?

• When mist is very ne, it is invisible. This humidier has a

NanoCloud humidication technology, which produces

humid air from the outlet area without formation of water

mist. Therefore, you cannot see the mist.

I want to check

whether the humidity

sensor works or not.

• Gently blow moist air into the humidity sensor. After a

while, the humidity indication changes. The indication can

show the ambient humidity level from 20%RH to 95%RH.
