Wait at least 10 seconds and then re-connect the plug.● The semi-transparent inner part inside the lid may become yellowish. This does not affect operation of the unit.● The ratting noise in the lid is made by small ball-shaped components which prevent water from 
  flooding out if the unit topples over.
●  If the room temperature is very high, the outside of the main unit may reach about 131ºF (55ºC).
The unit does 
not turn on.
