is there a way to shut the unit off so that it doesn't run on the weekend in an office other than unplug/run out of water?

The largest circular button, which is on the far right of the control panel, is the power button. It also has an auto-shut off so when the water gets to a certain low point it will turn the product off.

Yes, it can be turned off by a switch in the back, however; if you turn it back on, it takes a while to heat up. Just FYI....this water cooler is a bit noisy, but overall pretty good.

I think the only way you can turn the water off at the unit is to put a nozzle on the hose, just make sure it doesn't leak. It would probably be better to move the bush.

No. My unit runs until I turn it off. If you are using the humidity setting, obviously you will need to add more water. I suggest you contact Sharp about this issue.

I have asked, and did not get an answer from the company. If you find out a way to shut it off, PLEASE let me know.

You may be able to but don't waste your money on this timer. I, along with several others wound up with outrageous water bills because the timer didn't shut off. I went on vacation for three weeks and it ran 24/7. Bill was over $300.

NO -- not automatically anyway -- I would recommend a timer switch, that you can turn on for 10 to 30 minutes. If the dehumidistat switch is already installed you could add the timer switch in addition to it...

No way to turn off but there is no reason for. The water on the faucet is the water that fill the reservoir and you always want fill it after flush

Yes, this machine has a low water level shut off design. I personally, use the timer function on mine & don't leave it running when I'm leaving the house. To me, anything that has a heating element/ electric is a potential fire hazard. I also keep mine on the low setting & the distilled water seems to last quite a while. This fills my office (large room) with a nice fragrance. Lemongrass EO is my favorite to use in it. I hope this is helpful to you. Have a blessed day!

No, no auto shutoff. You could pehaps put a timer on the water-supply hose.

There is no way to disable it without unplugging it because there is no button for it. I would'nt leave it plugged in 24/7 anyways because it could be hazardous. so I think thats your best option. Or try reading the manual to see if it says anything just in case.

There is a cord with a blue LED bulb that fits into a small socket in the back of the unit that lights up the reservoir. You can essentially "turn it off", but it would require that you open up your case and pull out the cord. The cord requires a two pin power source however, so it's ultimately unnecessary.

I have been running this unit almost nightly for a few weeks. Haven't cleaned yet. They recommend not letting water/oil sit in unit while not in use. I am careful to let it run until it turns off, then dispose of small amount of water left and thoroughly wipe out with soft cloth.

Can I leave the unit in the bird bath to freeze overnight if I don't want to run it 24 hours?

Yes, you can turn it off for a short time. It will continue to drip so that your water temp stays constant. You must turn it off with the wall valve when you're done.
