SAFEGUARDS

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed. Failure to follow these safety precautions may result in personal injury or property damage, fire or shock.

1.Always have water in the water tank when operating unit.

2.Use only clean, distilled or filtered tap water. Using tap water with a high mineral content (hard water) will result in the need for more frequent cleanings.

3.Be sure the filling cap of the tank is firmly tightened.

4.Position the unit within the room so the air output from the top grill is aimed away from children, walls and furniture.

5.When removing the Tank, use one hand on the Tank Handle and lift straight up. DO NOT use if tank is cracked.

6.DO NOT place the appliance near heating devices. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces and areas where it can be stepped on or tripped over.

7.Use only 120V AC outlet. Be sure unit is plugged in firmly and completely. As with any electrical device, plug and unplug unit with dry hands only.

8.Turn the humidifier off and unplug the unit when: not in use, before moving or before cleaning. Please refer to the CARE AND MAINTENANCE section in this manual.

9.To avoid the risk of fire, shock or personal injury, do not use an extension cord.

WARNING: Never operate unit with a damaged cord or plug.

10.Always place unit on a flat, level surface AWAY from direct sunlight or computers or other sensitive electronic equipment.

11.This product does not offer a medicine cup feature. DO NOT add medication of any type into the mist director, base or water tank. Do not cover or place anything over any opening. Never drop or insert any object into any openings.

12.The unit should not be left unattended in closed rooms as air could become saturated and leave condensation on walls or furniture. Always leave room door partly open.

13.DANGER: To guard against electrical shock, NEVER immerse the humidifier motor unit in water or other liquids.

14.Regular cleaning of the unit is needed. Please refer to the CARE AND MAINTENANCE section in this manual.

15.DO NOT use outdoors.

16.Turn the humidifier OFF if the relative humidity exceeds

60%, or if you notice condensation on the inside of your windows. For proper humidity reading use a hygrometer which is available in many retail stores.

17.Do not place the humidifier directly on wood furniture or other surfaces that can be damaged by water and heat. For best results, place on a level, waterproof surface.

18.The unit contains no consumer serviceable parts. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not attempt to open the wiring cover.

19.Do not place unit on top of carpet, towels or flammable objects.

CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MODIFY THIS PLUG OR DEFEAT THIS SAFETY FEATURE IN ANY WAY.

The length of cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the humidifier.

Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

We cannot over-emphasize how essential proper cleaning is to the maintenance and continued use of your unit and to the avoidance of algae or bacteria build-up.

DAILY MAINTENANCE

Allow the humidifier to cool before maintenance.

1.Before cleaning, be sure the humidifier is switched off and unplug the unit from the electrical outlet.

2.Remove the humidifier tank then unlock the mist chamber by rotating the safety lock completely to the unlocked position. Lift the mist chamber off of the water tray.

NOTE: We recommend that you use one finger to turn the wing nut to unlock the mist chamber from the water tray.

3.Drain and rinse the water tray and tank thoroughly to remove any sediments and dirt. Wipe clean and dry with a clean soft cloth or paper towel. (DO NOT use metal cleaning utensils or abrasive cleaners).

NOTE: It is imperative that the water tray is cleaned properly. The water tray is dishwasher safe (top rack ONLY) for easy cleaning.

4.The heating element is lined with a coating that is designed to provide the easiest cleaning and prolong the operating efficiency of the humidifier. Wipe the heating element clean with a soft cloth after it has had a chance to cool.

5.Replace misting chamber and engage safety lock.

DO NOT use any metal or hard objects to clean the heating element. Never use detergents, gasoline, kerosene, glass cleaner, furniture polish, paint thinner or other household solvents to clean any part of the humidifier.
