Duracraft Owner's Manual - Baby's Breath™
Vaporizer
Models DH-711, DH-712, DH-721, and DH-722 Series
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS HUMIDIFIER
AND SAVE THESE IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR EASY REFERENCE.
WHEN USING ANY ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE, BASIC SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE FOLLOWED INCLUDING:
1.
|
Always place this vaporizer on a
firm, flat, and level surface, at least 4 feet away from any person.
It may not work properly on an uneven surface.
|
2.
|
RISK OF INJURY
TO PERSONS–DO
NOT TOUCH STEAM VAPOR-STEAM CAN CAUSE BURNS. Place
this vaporizer in an area where it is not accessible to children. Never
point the steam outlet directly toward any person.
|
3.
|
Do not place the vaporizer near
any heat sources such as stoves, radiators, and heaters.
|
4.
|
Before using the vaporizer,
check the power cord for any signs of damage. If the cord is found to
be damaged, DO
NOT USE and return the vaporizer to Duracraft® under
the warranty agreement for repair. Never allow the power cord to be immersed
in water or other liquid.
|
5.
|
This product is equipped
with a polarized AC-line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the
other).
This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This
is a safety feature. NEVER connect the
vaporizer to any power source other than a 120V polarized outlet. If
you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing
the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact an electrician
to replace the obsolete outlet. DO NOT
defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
|
6.
|
Never plug in vaporizer
without filling with water and always UNPLUG and
empty the vaporizer before moving, filling, cleaning, or storing. UNPLUG the
vaporizer before removing the electrode heating assembly.
|
7.
|
RISK OF FIRE–NEVER add
salt to the water. This can cause excessive boiling and electrical overloading
of your household electrical system.
|
8.
|
DO NOT add
vaporizer medicine directly into the water. Place in the medicine cup
and fill it halfway. DURACRAFT® assumes
no responsibility for consequences resulting from the use of medications
in this vaporizer.
|
9.
|
Do not OVER-FILL the
vaporizer. Doing so may result in electrical shock hazard.
|
10.
|
This vaporizer requires
regular cleaning. Refer to the CLEANING instructions
provided. Never clean the vaporizer in any manner other than as instructed
in this manual.
|
11.
|
Turn the vaporizer to OFF if
the relative humidity exceeds 60%, or if you notice moisture on the inside
of your windows. For proper humidity readings use a hygrometer which
is available in many hardware and department stores, or by ordering on
from Duracraft® (see
Care Products and Accessories).

INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a Duracraft® Baby’s
Breath™ Vaporizer
manufactured by Honeywell. If you would like more information on our full
line of products please visit our website at: www.honeywell.com/yourhome.
MODEL DH-711, DH-712, DH-721
and DH-722
Your vaporizer is made up of two parts:
SET UP
NOTE: We recommend that the humidifier be disinfected
prior to first use. Please see CLEANING instructions.
- Select a firm, level, flat location — at
least six inches (15 cm) from any wall for proper air flow and convenient
to an electrical outlet (Fig. 1).
Place vaporizer where it is out of the reach of children.
Make sure cord is not in an area where it can be tripped over or pulled on.
Be sure that the steam outlet is pointed away from any person.
- Place the vaporizer on a water-resistant
surface, as water can damage furniture and some flooring. Duracraft® will
not accept responsibility for property damage caused by water spillage.
FILLING
1. To remove
the Steam Assembly, hold the Base and turn the Steam Assembly counter-clockwise
then pull up.
2. Fill the Base
with COOL tap water to the indent marked “ Full
Level” located
on the back of the unit (Fig. 2). DO NOT
USE HOT WATER. Doing so may damage the vaporizer.
3. Replace the Steam Assembly back onto the
Base. Turn it clockwise to lock in place. Once the Steam Assembly has been
positioned,
do not attempt to move vaporizer. If it has to be moved, unplug it and
empty the Base first.
CAUTION: DO NOT PLUG IN THE HUMIDIFIER WITH WET HANDS
AS AN ELECTRIC SHOCK COULD OCCUR.
4. Plug the filled vaporizer into a polarized
120V outlet. DO NOT FORCE THE POLARIZED PLUG INTO THE OUTLET; it will only
fit
one way.
OPERATION
IMPORTANT: When your vaporizer is plugged in, it
is ON - however it will take time (20-25 minutes) for the vaporizer to heat
the water and produce steam.
The heating process is silent, so the vaporizer will
not make any noise until the water comes to a boil, at which time you may
hear a gentle bubbling or boiling sound.
1. If the Vaporizer does not start producing steam
within 25 minutes…
Your water’s
mineral content is too low to allow for electrical current flow and the water
will not come to a boil.
- Unplug and remove the Steam Assembly.
- Add 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda per gallon
of water (or 1 packet of Duracraft’s
DuraStart following the directions on the package) to help the water come
to a boil. Be sure to thoroughly mix the Baking Soda or DuraStart with
the water in the Base.
NOTE: Adding too much baking soda or DuraStart can
cause boiling and/or hot water spurting, which may cause burns.
2. If the Vaporizer boils excessively, spurts hot
water or blows fuses…
Your water’s
mineral content is too high.
- Make sure no chemicals have been added to the water.
If any chemicals were added, turn off and unplug the vaporizer. Empty Base
and refill with tap water only.
- If no chemicals have been added, turn off and unplug
the vaporizer. CLean per the cleaning instructions.
- Refill using 1/2 tap water and 1/2 distilled water,
which will lower the mineral content of your water and prevent excessive
boiling.
- When you are finished using the vaporizer, unplug
it and clean after each use.
- ALWAYS be sure to discard any unused water in the
base before storing or refilling.
FEATURES
AUTO-SHUT
OFF FEATURE:
- The vaporizer will shut off when the water level
drops below the bottom of the Steam Assembly.
- Refill the Base per the FILLING instructions.
- Once filled, the vaporizer will automatically turn
back on.
MEDICINE CUP:
A medicated vapor can be distributed into the air
by using the Medicine Cup at the top of the Steam Assembly.
To add medicine to the Medicine Cup:
1.
|
Unplug the vaporizer and allow at
least 10 minutes for the unit to cool. |
2.
|
Carefully add liquid medication;
fill cup only halfway (Fig. 3). |
3.
|
After use, clean any residue from
the cup. |
WARNING: DO
NOT use
any liquid medicine other than those specifically recommended for use with
a steam vaporizer. DO NOT pour
medicine directly into the water as this may cause excessive boiling or spurting
of hot water.
Honeywell assumes no responsibility for consequences
resulting from the uses of medication in this vaporizer.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Q:
|
I set
up the vaporizer, but it isn't
making any noise. Is it working?
|
A:
|
The heating process
is silent, so the vaporizer will not make any noise until the water comes
to a boil (20-25 minutes), at which time you may hear a bubbling or boiling
sound.
|
Q:
|
I used the vaporizer
last night. When I went to refill it this morning, I noticed black flecks
in the base. Is this normal?
|
A:
|
It is normal for mineral
deposits to collect at the bottom of the Base. It may appear as black
flecks and should be rinsed out after every use. This is normal and will
not affect the operation of the vaporizer if cleaned out daily.
|
Q:
|
My
vaporizer has been plugged in for 30 minutes and still is not producing
steam,
what’s
wrong?
|
A:
|
It means that
your water’s
mineral content is too low to allow for electrical current flow and the
water will not come to a boil.
|
| |
•
|
Unplug and remove the Heating Assembly
|
| |
•
|
Add 1/4 teaspoon of baking
soda per gallon of water (or 1 packet of Duracraft’s
DuraStart following the directions on the package) to help the water
come to a boil. Be sure to thoroughly mix the Baking Soda or DuraStart
with the water in the Base.
|
Q:
|
My
vaporizer is over boiling and spurting hot water, what’s
wrong?
|
A:
|
It means that
your water’s
mineral content is too high.
|
| |
•
|
Make sure no chemicals have been
added to the water. If any chemicals were added, turn off and unplug
the vaporizer. Empty the water tank and refill with tap water only.
|
| |
•
|
If no chemicals have been added,
turn off and unplug the vaporizer. Clean per the cleaning instructions.
