When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons,
including the following:
1. Always place this humidifier on a firm, flat and level surface. This humidifier may not work
properly on an uneven surface.
2. Place this humidifier in an area where it is not accessible to children.
3. Do not place the humidifier near any heat sources such as stoves, radiators, and heaters.
4. Do not use the humidifier outdoors.
5. Before using the humidifier, check the power cord for any signs of damage. If the cord is
found to be damaged, DO NOT USE and return the humidifier to the manufacturer under
the warranty agreement for repair.
6. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk
of shock, this plug is intended to fit only one way in a polarized outlet. If the plug does
not fit securely in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. DO NOT attempt to defeat this safety feature.
7. To disconnect the humidifier, first turn controls to the OFF position, then grip the plug and
pull it from the wall outlet. Never pull by the cord.
8. A loose fit between the AC outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause overheating and a
distortion of the plug. Contact a qualified electrician to replace loose or worn outlet.
9. The humidifier should always be unplugged and emptied when not in operation or while
being serviced or cleaned.
10. Never tilt or attempt to move the humidifier while it is operating or filled with water.

Introduction
H O W D O E S I T W O R K ?
COOL MOISTURE SYSTEM:
Dry air is pulled through the humidifier and the QuietCare™ fan blows out invisible, moisture-balanced
air. Unwanted minerals and bacteria from the water are trapped inside the Filter. When the unit is running
you will not see or feel a “mist”. You will know your humidifier is putting moisture into the air as you
watch the water level in your tank decrease throughout the day.
AIR WASHING PRE FILTER:
The Filter in your humidifier also includes a specially formulated “pre-filter” which helps capture some
dust, dirt, pollen and other small particles that pass through the filter.
Protec™Treated Filter: Your filter has been treated with Protec™which helps prevent surface growth and
migration of mold, mildew, algae, fungus and odor-causing bacteria in the filter for its life – approximately
1-3 months**. Keep in mind, depending on your water quality, mineral deposits can still clog or discolor
the filter, affecting its life and that of the humidifier.
**The agent contained in this product is intended to prolong filter life only by inhibiting the growth of unsightly mold, mildew and algae, as well as controlling
odor from odor-causing bacteria. The filter does not protect users or others against bacteria, viruses, germs or other disease-causing organisms. Always follow
the humidifier manufacturer’s instructions regarding cleaning, maintenance and servicing of your humidifier.

Set-Up
NOTE: We recommend that the humidifier be disinfected prior to first use.
Please see CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS.
Select a firm, level, flat location - at least six inches (15 cm) from any wall for proper air flow. Place the
humidifier on a water-resistant surface, as water can damage furniture and some flooring.
Kaz will not accept responsibility for property damage caused by water spillage.
Install Casters:
• Make sure the humidifier is unplugged and in the OFF position.
• Turn the Base of the humidifier upside down.
• Push the wheels into each wheel base pin until you hear them snap into
position (Fig.1).

• Remove the Water Tanks by grasping the handle and pulling straight up. Set aside (Fig. 2).
• Lift up on the Motor Housing to remove and set aside (Fig. 3). Remove the
Filter from the Base before filling the unit with water. Soak the Filter in a
sink full of cool water to help reduce mineral buildup and place back in the
humidifier while wet. DO NOT SQUEEZE OR WRING OUT THE FILTER. To
help extend the life of your Filter, repeat this step each time you fill your
humidifier.
• Turn the Water Tank upside down so that the Fill Cap is facing up; unscrew
the Fill Cap by turning it counter-clockwise and set aside.
• Fill each Water Tank with COOL tap water (Fig. 4). Distilled water is not
necessary as the water is filtered by the Filter. DO NOT USE HOT WATER. Doing
so may damage the humidifier.
• Replace the Fill Cap by turning it clockwise . DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.
Turn the Water Tank right-side up.
NOTE: When carrying the filled Water Tank please use the handle and place
your other hand under the tank for additional support. Carry only one at a time.
• Place the Motor Housing back into the Base.
• Position each Water Tank in the humidifier and push into place. Some water will
empty into the Base. Note: The tanks do not drain simultaneously, one tank
will drain before the other.
• Once the filled tanks have been positioned, do not attempt to move the humidifier.
If it has to be moved, unplug the humidifier and remove the Water Tanks first.
CAUTION: DO NOT POUR WATER INTO THE GRILLE IN THE FRONT
OF THE HUMIDIFIER. DOING SO MAY DAMAGE THE HUMIDIFIER OR

DE SEGURIDAD
LEA Y CONSERVE LAS SIGUIENTES INSTRUCCIONES DE SEGURIDAD
ANTES DE USAR EL HUMIDIFICADOR:

33
Introducción
¿ C Ó M O F U N C I O N A E L H U M I D I F I C A D O R ?
SISTEMA DE VAPOR FRÍO
:
El humidificador aspira el aire seco y el ventilador QuietCareMC dispersa en la habitación aire invisible y de
humedad equilibrada. Los minerales y bacterias no deseados del agua quedan retenidos en el filtro. El aparato
no produce “bruma” que pueda verse ni olerse. Sabemos que el humidificador está dispersando humedad en el
aire al ver bajar el nivel de agua del depósito en el transcurso del día.
PREFILTRO DE PURIFICACIÓN DE AIR
El filtro del humidificador viene con un prefiltro especialmente diseñado para retener parte del polvo, suciedad,
polen y otras pequeñas partículas.
Filtro tratado con ProtecMC: El filtro viene tratado con ProtecMC, un producto que impide la proliferación y la
migración de moho, algas, hongos y bacterias causantes de olores, sobre el filtro, durante toda su duración,
aproximadamente entre 1 y 3 meses**. No olvide que la calidad del agua influirá en la sedimentación de
minerales, que pueden obstruir e incluso descolorir el filtro, influyendo en la duración de éste y en la de su
humidificador.
**El agente del filtro está diseñado para prolongar la duración del filtro únicamente impidiendo el desarrollo de moho y algas y disminuyendo los olores causados por las
bacterias. El filtro no protege al usuario de las bacterias, virus, gérmenes ni demás agentes patógenos. Siga siempre las instrucciones del fabricante del humidificador referentes
a la limpieza, mantenimiento y reparación del humidificador.

• Saque el depósito sujetando el asa y tirando hacia arriba, y colóquelo a un lado. (Fig. 2).
• Levante el cajetín del motor. Colóquelo a un lado (Fig. 3). Antes de llenar el aparato
con agua, saque el filtro de la base y déjelo en remojo en un fregadero lleno de
agua fría, para ayudar a reducir la acumulación de minerales. Vuelva a colocarlo en
la base aún mojado. NO RETUERZA NI ESTRUJE EL FILTRO. Para que su filtro dure
más, repita esta operación cada vez que llene su humidificador.

destilada ya que el agua se filtra a través del filtro. NO USE AGUA CALIENTE,
podría dañar el humidificador.
• Vuelva a colocar la tapa de llenado girándola en la dirección de las agujas del
reloj . NO APRIETE DEMASIADO. Vuelva a invertir el depósito para colocarlo en
la posición correcta.

coloque la otra bajo el depósito para sostenerlo mejor. Transporte los depósitos
uno a uno.
• Vuelva a colocar el cajetín del motor sobre la base.
• Coloque cada depósito en el humidificador y empuje para encajarlos en el
aparato. Caerá algo de agua en la base. Nota: los depósitos no se vacían
