FAQs
Q: How does the salt lamp work?
Heated salt crystals may help lower indoor air pollutants and produce a tranquil atmosphere, according to many users who appreciate the calming light.
Q: How does the humidifier function?
The humidifier relieves dry air, relieves sinuses, and prevents dry skin by using ultrasonic technology to transform water into a thin, cool mist. It’s perfect for tiny living areas, offices, and bedrooms.
Q: Can I use both the lamp and the humidifier at the same time?
Indeed. Depending on your preferences, the lamp and humidifier can work together or separately. To switch each feature on or off independently, use the control buttons.
Q: What type of water should I use in the humidifier?
Use filtered or distilled water for optimal results. Minerals found in tap water may impair the device’s lifespan and create white dust or residue on surfaces.
Q: How much water can the humidifier hold?
Depending on the mist setting used, the Guardian H1117’s 200–300 cc water tank can produce mist for several hours.
Q: Can I add essential oils or fragrances to the water?
Only in cases when the model expressly states “aroma diffuser compatible.” Otherwise, the ultrasonic components may be harmed by the addition of lubricants. If in doubt, use pure water or always refer to the label for instructions.
Q: How long can the humidifier run continuously?
The humidifier may operate for four to eight hours each fill, depending on the mist setting. For enhanced safety, the unit is turned off when the water runs out thanks to the auto shut-off feature.
