Do not place the ultrasonic humidifier directly onto a carpet or other
object with soft fibers or a thick pile. These could block the vent hole
from performing properly and can cause the unit to malfunction or leak.
Do not block the mist outlet.
Fill the reservoir tank using only clean cool tap water.
Do not use hot water. Use of hot water that is 104°F or higher can
cause the product to deform and malfunction.
Never put aroma oil or other fragrances into the water reservoir tank
as this can damage the ultrasonic humidifier.
Do not wipe product with turpentine/benzene, thinner or other
chemicals, since this can ruin the sheen.
When unplugging the power cord, always unplug by grasping the
power plug, not by pulling on the power cord. If the supply cord is
damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, or its service agent.
Spill out the water when not using the ultrasonic humidifier or when
moving the appliance.
Replace the water in the reservoir tank with fresh water every day.
Regularly maintaining the inside will ensure that the product is always
clean and ready for use.
Be sure that the water passage cover is always reattached before use.
Use without attaching the cover could result in water spillage. Do not
remove the cover unless cleaning the Ultrasonic humidifier.
Do not place cell phones, computers, or other electronic devices near
the ultrasonic humidifier. The area around the humidifier can become
very humid while the ultrasonic humidifier is operating and these
items are sensitive to humidity. Product should be placed at least 6
feet away from these objects.
Take care that the product does not freeze. If the product is placed in
a area subject to freezing temperatures, spill out all the water inside.
