not use any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after it malfunctions

or is damaged in any way.

. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces, and positioned where it cannot

be stepped on or tripped over.

3. To avoid the risk of re or electrical shock, do not use an extension cord.

4. Always place the humidier on a rm, at, level, surface that is water-

resistant and non-metallic. Do not place directly on wood furniture or

other surfaces that could be damaged by water. Do not direct cool air mist

directly toward people, walls, or furniture.

5. Always position out of the reach of children.

6. Do not operate outdoors. This appliance is intended for indoor use only.

7. Never operate without water. Turn off unit when tank is empty.

8. Do not move or tilt the humidier while it is operating.

9. Do not add any medications to the water tray, water tank or base.

10. Do not cover any openings, do not drop or insert any objects into any

openings.

11. Do not immerse the base in water or other liquid, or allow it to get wet. Do

not pour water into any part except the water tank.

1. Always turn the humidier off before unplugging it. Always unplug before

removing the water tank or moving the unit. When moving or lifting the

tank, place one hand on the handle and the other on the bottom of the

tank.

13. Always unplug, empty, and clean the humidier when it is not in use.

14. Do not leave the humidier unattended in a closed room because the air

To Assemble

Before you begin: Be sure to remove all packing materials.

1. Insert water tray into base, making sure that it

is securely seated.

. Place the lter in the water tray, as shown.

3. Turn the tank cap counterclockwise to unlock.

Lift the cap off and set it aside. Fill the tank

with COOL, not hot, tap water.

Note: To prolong lter life, use distilled or

deionized water.

4. Replace the cap and turn clockwise to lock.

Important: Never

place oils, scents,

perfumes, or

medicines in the

water tank.

1. Select a location for the base:

• Choose a at, level, water-resistant surface that is non-metallic and is in a

spot that has good air circulation. An inside wall near and electrical outlet is

often convenient.

• The humidier should be placed where the cord will not present a tripping

hazard.

• It should be out of the reach of children.

• Leave at least 36 inches (90cm) between the [front] of the humidier and

any walls or furnishings.

• Be sure air intake and exhaust vents are not blocked.

Poor air ow could result in poor performance, moisture

damage, and/or the build-up of mildew and other micro-

organisms.

. Position the tank on the base:

• Turn the tank over; hold it by the carry handle, and set it in

place on the base.

• Carefully align the cap with the receptacle in the water

tray; if necessary move the tank slightly until you can feel

that it is properly seated.

• Some water will ow out of the tank and into the water tray.

Important:

• Always be certain the tank cap is locked before turning the water tank over.

• Once the humidier has been lled, do not tilt or move it. To reposition the

humidier, remove the water tank, and unplug it rst.

• Never pour water into the air intake or exhaust vents.

NEVER USE THE HUMIDIFIER WITHOUT THE FILTER IN PLACE.

3. Once the water tank is in place, plug the cord into a wall

socket.

Note: To reduce electrical interference, do not plug into the same

outlet as TVs, baby monitors or cordless phones.

4. Turn the fan speed dial clockwise to turn the unit on and to

increase humidity more quickly (setting number ). Turn it

counterclockwise to increase humidity more gradually, (setting

number 1) and for quieter operation, especially at night.

The power indicator will light when the humidier is on.

Important:

• Rell the tank as needed to maintain adequate water level.

• Never allow the humidier to remain on when the tank is empty.

• To prolong lter life, turn the lter over each time you ll the water tank.

• Replace the lter when it displays any stains or becomes stiff and non-

absorbent.

Reminder: Turn off and then unplug unit before cleaning.
