Dyson Humidifier AM10 Let's get your machine working.

How to replace the battery

Please follow the instructions in the video.

Gurgling noise

A gurgling noise can be caused by two different issues.

Out of the box

This can usually be resolved by running approximately 2 to 4 tanks of water through the machine when in Humidifier mode.

Machine settling

This may be caused by the machine settling and will pass with time.

No fault with the machine

There is no fault with the machine, the noise can sometimes be heard when the ultrasonic transducer produces mist inside the base of your machine.

This noise is most noticeable when the machine is new, but the noise will reduce in volume once approximately 3-4 full tanks of water have been run through the machine.

Humidifier mode

Adjust the humidity control to 70%.

Adjust the airflow to the lowest setting.

It is easier to see the mist when the machine is in front of a dark background.

If no mist is visible then clear the amplifier of any obstructions.

If the machine is in automatic mode then it may shut off

The appliance selects a comfortable humidity for the room, based on environmental factors such as current humidity level and air temperature.

When the room reaches the appropriate humidity level the appliance will switch itself ‘ON’ or ‘OFF’ as necessary to maintain that level. The fan will remain running when the target humidity has been reached.

Clear the loop amplifier

Remove the loop amplifier and press the button at the front of the loop.

Lift the loop off the machine and pull the amp surround off the loop, one end at a time.

Wipe both parts with a damp cloth.

WARNING: Do not clean any part in a dishwasher.

Reattach the surround and line up the surround with the amp.

Push the surround firmly until it clicks into place.

Turn on and test the machine.

Airflow

Switch off the humidity and set the fan speed to 10.

You will see the fan speed changing on the digital display.

Step 4

Switch ‘ON’.

The water treatment procedure automatically starts.

Water passes over a UV-C emitter to ensure that it is 99.9% bacteria-free before misting commences.

This takes approximately 3 minutes.

During this time humidity targets can be set and fan mode can be switched ON.

After 3 minutes the machine will start to humidify.

The display will show the target humidity setting.
