Instead of describing my frustration with the device I'll quote from the reset instructions from their manual:
"RESET PROCEDURE
NOTE: When the water tank is empty and the water in the Heating Chamber is almost empty, the Automatic Shut off will activate. The RESET Light will illuminate and the unit will not operate again until you refill the water tank and reset the humidifier.
1. Turn the power knob to RESET.
2. Unplug the unit.
3. Remove and refill the water tank, being sure to follow the Daily Maintenance Instructions. Replace the tank onto the base.
4. Wait 15 minutes for the Automatic Shut-Off to reset.
5. After the 15 minutes, plug in the unit and turn the Power Knob, to HIGH. The RESET light should now be off (if not repeat steps 1-5). In about 10 minutes, the humidifier will begin to produce moisture.
If the reset light is still on at this point, and the unit does not begin to produce moisture within a few minutes, then repeat steps 1-5."
Running the humidifier dry is a normal case (a full water container lasts for about 6 hours on the High setting).
The next day you are looking at 15 minutes to wait for the unit to reset. If you plug it in too soon the reset interval starts over. After 25 minutes you will know if the unit works as intended. If anything goes wrong, you are in for another 25 minutes.
The Daily Maintenance Instructions have you disassemble the entire unit, brush calcium deposits off the base, and wash the base in a dishwasher, before reassembling the unit.
You've got to be kidding me!
I've got other things to do.
