IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow all of the instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
1. It is advisable to carry filled Water Tank with two hands.
2. DO NOT operate outdoors. This humidifier is intended for indoor use only.
3. Always have water in the Water Tank when operating the unit.
4. Use only clean, cool tap water to fill the Water Tank (filtered or distilled water is
recommended to avoid white dust if tap water is too hard). DO NOT use hot
water.
5. Be sure that the Mist Channel is firmly tightened in the Water Tank. Always have
the Mist Nozzle in place while the unit is operating. Place the humidifier so the
mist aims away from children, walls, furniture and electrical appliances.
6. Use only a 120V AC outlet. ALWAYS plug and unplug unit with dry hands to avoid
electric shock.
7. Never operate the unit with a damaged cord or plug.
8. Always place the unit on a smooth, flat, lint-free, non-metallic, waterproof and
level surface and position unit away from direct sunlight. Keep the cord away from
heated surfaces and areas where it could be walked on or tripped over. Unplug the
unit when not in use and whenever you clean or move the unit.
9. Do not add medication or essential oils into the Water Base or Water Tank. Do not
cover any openings on the unit or insert objects into any openings.
10. The unit should not be left unattended in a closed room as the air could become
saturated and leave condensation on walls or furniture. Leave room door partly
open when humidifier is being operated.
11. When cleaning the inside of the humidifier, keep water away from the Fan Vent.
Turn off and unplug the humidifier to wipe the exterior (except the electrical
controls) with a damp cloth. Humidifier requires regular cleaning. Please refer to
the MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS in this manual.
