OPERATION AND USE
BEFORE EACH USE

CHECK HUMIDIFIER PLACEMENT - Place the Humidifier on an elevated non-metallic

waterproof surface for best performance. This is to help disperse the mist in the air,
and prevent it from being knocked or tipped over.

CHECK WATER LEVEL SENSOR - Make sure that the water level sensor is secured
properly. Refer to Water Level Sensor on page 9 for instructions on how to clean and
assemble water level sensor.

CHECK FAN VENT

This fan vent is located on the bottom of
the humidifier. The purpose of the fan
vent is to blow the cool mist through the
vapor outlet slots. It is important that
this part is kept clean and free of
obstructions. We recommend checking
the fan vent before using this item (i.e.
lint, paper).

Do not place humidifier on top of a
towel, or a carpeted surface. The fan
vent on the bottom may become
blocked, and overheat the
humidifier.
