Crane EE-5300 Mini-Drop Cool Mist Humidifier

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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. It is advisable to carry a 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 Water 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 Water Tank Cap is firmly tightened on the Water Tank. Always have the Mist Lid in place while the unit is operating. Place the humidifier so that the mist is directed away from children, walls, furniture, and electrical appliances.
6. Use only a 100-240VAC outlet. ALWAYS plug and unplug the unit with dry hands to avoid electric shock.
7. Never operate the unit with a damaged cord or plug.
8. Always place the unit on a smooth, flat, lint-free, non-metallic, waterproof, and level surface, and position the unit away from direct sunlight. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces and areas where it could be walked on or tripped over. Unplug the unit when not in use and whenever you clean or move the unit.
9. Do not add medication or additives of any type into the Water Basin or Water Tank. Do not cover any openings on the unit or insert objects into any openings. ONLY use vapor pads, essential oils, or Crane Liquids in the Vapor Tray of this humidifier.
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 the room door partly open when the 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. A humidifier requires regular cleaning. Please refer to the CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS in this manual.
12. Do not tilt or tip the humidifier or attempt to empty or fill it while it is in operation.
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 unit’s output. Instead, always use white vinegar mixed with water to clean the humidifier.

LIST OF MAIN PARTS

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

BEFORE EACH USE:

CHECK HUMIDIFIER PLACEMENT:

Place the Humidifier on an elevated, non-metallic, lint-free, waterproof, level surface at least 2 feet above the floor.

• DO NOT PLACE ON CARPET OR TOWEL. The fan vent is located on the bottom of the humidifier base. The fan vent MUST NOT be obstructed.
• DO NOT PLACE ON WOOD SURFACE or near furniture that can be damaged by too much moisture.

CHECK WATER LEVEL SENSOR:

Make sure the Water Level Sensor is secured properly and not obstructed. (Page 4 – Fig. 1)

CAUTION

• DO NOT attempt to operate the humidifier without water in the Water Tank.
• DO NOT plug or unplug the Power Cord with wet hands, as electric shock could occur.

ASSEMBLY & USE

ALWAYS use fresh cool water when operating the humidifier.

1. Turn the Water Tank upside down, unscrew the Water Tank Cap, and fill with cool water only.

ALWAYS HOLD THE WATER TANK WITH TWO HANDS WHEN FULL.

• DO NOT fill water all the way to the rim.
• DO NOT use hot water.
• DO NOT add any medication, essential oils, salt, or vapor pad to the water tank.
• DO NOT pour water into the Mist Lid.

1. Screw the Water Tank Cap back onto the Water Tank and turn the tank over to place on the Humidifier Base, making sure it fits together securely. Note: Do not attempt to move the humidifier while a full Water Tank is placed on the Humidifier Base. Doing so may cause leakage of water and/or the Humidifier Base to overfill.
2. Plug the power cord into a wall socket and turn on the unit by using the Power dial. The further the dial is turned to the right, the higher the mist output setting.
3. The Power Indicator Light will illuminate in green, indicating that there is enough water in the Humidifier Base, and mist will begin emitting through the Mist Lid.
   • SET THE CORRECT HUMIDITY OUTPUT: Adjust the mist output so the mist rises to be absorbed by the room air. If the mist drops quickly, use the lower output setting so the mist is rising up.
4. When the humidifier runs out of water, the Power Indicator Light will turn red, and the mist output will stop. This is a safety feature to prevent the humidifier from possibly overheating and damaging the Nebulizer. Turn the humidifier off and unplug the unit before removing and refilling the water tank. When emptying the base, be sure to pour away from the fan outlet.

VAPOR TRAY: Add essential oils to the included pad (or with any compatible scent pad) as desired before running the humidifier.

Night Light: Press the night light button to cycle through the available night light colors. Press and hold the night light button for three seconds to turn off the optional night light.

A NOTE ABOUT HUMIDITY

• To reduce excessive humidity or condensation, especially in small rooms, leave the room door open and adjust mist intensity to the low output setting.
• 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.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning and disinfecting on a regular basis is important for maintaining the performance of your humidifier.

IMPORTANT: Water left in the tank or base when not in use may result in the buildup of mineral deposits and bacteria, which may inhibit the output efficiency as well as void the warranty. If water remains in the Water Tank for more than a day or two, bacterial growth is possible.

DAILY MAINTENANCE

1. Turn off, unplug from the outlet, and empty water from the tank & base daily.
2. Allow tank & base to air dry.
3. Leave the cap off the tank until ready for next use.

WEEKLY MAINTENANCE

1. Turn off, unplug from the outlet, and empty water from the tank & base.
2. Fill the water tank halfway with warm water and add 2 Tablespoons of white vinegar. Shake vigorously and let sit for 30 minutes. Empty the tank and rinse with plain water.
3. Fill the base with warm water, add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar, and let sit for 30 min. Empty base & rinse with plain water. Make sure to pour water away from the fan outlet when emptying. TIP: Clean the nebulizer with a damp cloth or cotton swab after soaking.
4. Allow the tank & base to air dry and leave the cap off the tank until the next use. NEVER IMMERSE THE HUMIDIFIER BASE IN WATER.

END-OF-SEASON MAINTENANCE & STORING YOUR HUMIDIFIER
