base.
3. Turn the humidier base over and remove the 2 screws attaching the
compartment to the bottom of the humidier. Figure 7.
NOTE: Only remove the 2 screws pictured in Figure 7.

your hands. Oils from your skin can cause the bulb to fail directly, or lessen its life
expectancy. Use the bag the bulb came in to screw it into the socket on the UVC
cover.

OPERATE.
