Soothing vapor can be distributed into the air by using the Medicine Cup at the top of the unit. To add medicine to the Medicine Cup:

•Turn the humidifier OFF and wait 10 minutes for the unit to cool.

•Remove the Medicine Cup from the unit by pulling firmly upward (Fig. 21).

•Fill the cup halfway with liquid medicine. Only place the medicine in the small oval area. Do not put medicine in the grille area.

•Carefully reinstall the Medicine Cup back into the unit.

Weekly Cleaning

CAUTION: DO NOT CLEAN THE HUMIDIFIER WITH THE POWER CORD PLUGGED IN THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET AS AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK COULD OCCUR.

We recommend cleaning the humidifier once a week. It may require cleaning more often if you have hard water, notice a build up of impurities or detect unpleasant odors. The importance of routine cleaning and care cannot be over emphasized.

Cleaning involves two steps: SCALE REMOVAL and DISINFECTING. Be sure to perform these in the proper order to avoid harmful chemical interactions.

	(Fig. 22). Set the Power Unit aside.
•	Remove the Water Tray (Fig. 23) and set aside. Be sure to	Base
	thoroughly clean the Water Reservoir in the Base. Minerals often
	accumulate in this area, so special attention should be used.
•	Empty any water from the Base and Removable Tray.
•	Be sure the Heating Plate has cooled sufficiently.	Mineral Reservoir

•Remove the Mineral Absorption Pad using tweezers or tongs and

check the condition of the Mineral Absorption Pad and the Heating Plate found on the Base. If build-up of minerals is heavy, follow the Cleaning the Heating Plate instructions.

CAUTION: DO NOT SUBMERGE THE BASE IN WATER. DOING SO MAY CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY. ALLOW THE HUMIDIFIER TO DRY COMPLETELY BEFORE PLUGGING INTO POWER OUTLET.
