IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, and injury to persons, including the following:

1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.

2. To avoid fire or shock hazard, plug the
appliance directly into a 120 V AC electrical outlet.

3. Keep the cord out of heavy traffic areas. To avoid fire
hazard, NEVER put the cord under rugs, near heat
registers, radiator, stoves, or heaters.

4. DO NOT place humidifier near heat sources such as
stoves, radiators, and heaters. Do locate your humidifier
on an inside wall near an electrical outlet. The humidifier
should be at least 4” away from the wall for best results.

5. NEVER place humidifier in an area where it is accessible
to children. NEVER use humidifier in a closed room,
particularly where a child may be sleeping, resting, or
playing (a closed room may result in excessive humidity).

6. WARNING: Do not attempt to refill humidifier without
first unplugging the unit from its electrical outlet. Failure
to heed this warning may cause personal injury. Be sure
to pull by the plug and not the cord.

7. NEVER drop or insert any object into any openings. DO NOT
place hands, face, or body directly over or near Outlet

dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to
manufacturer for examination, electrical or mechanical
adjustment, or repair.

described in this manual. Any other use not recommended
by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock,
or injury to persons. The use of attachments not

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.

HOW YOUR WARM MOISTURE HUMIDIFIER WORKS

Lack of humidity in the air, often caused by winter heating, can
dry out your nose, throat and skin. Excessive dryness can also
damage furniture, carpets and fabrics. Warm Moisture humidifiers
put moisture back into the air you breathe to help relieve sinus
and respiratory discomforts, reduce annoying static electricity
and provide a healthy growing environment for your indoor plants.

Water is fed from the
tank into a removable
tray in which a constant
water level is maintained.
This tray collects some
of the minerals that form
on the heating element.
The minerals can be
rinsed from the tray when

the tank runs out of
water (See “Cleaning and Maintenance”). Air is drawn in
through the grill openings and air filter located on the side
of the unit and mixes with steam in the misting chamber.
The warm mist is then dispersed out of the top of the
misting chamber through the outlet grill.

The unit is conveniently refilled with water by taking only the
removable water tank to a water tap. A suit a bl e medication
can be placed in the medication cup and warmed.
