Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for
household use only.
This appliance is equipped with a
polarized plug. This type of plug has
one blade wider than the other. The
plug will fit into an electrical outlet
only one way. This is a safety feature
intended to help reduce the risk of
electrical shock.
If you are unable to insert the plug into
the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the
plug should still fail to fit, contact a
qualified electrician to replace the
obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to
defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug by modifying the plug
in any way.
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.
Do Not Over-humidify
Do not over-humidify. The suggested
level for the best health benefit is 50%.
Some units can be set for desired
humidity ranges from 20 to 90%, but
care should be taken not to overhumidify, which will be dependent on
both the construction of your home
and the outside weather conditions.
Do not allow water to condense on
walls, floors, or windows as water
damage could result. If you see these
conditions occur, lower the desired
humidity level on the humidifier or turn
the unit off. Hamilton Beach/ProctorSilex, Inc. will not be responsible for
damage caused by water.
Before First Use
Be sure to remove all packing materials.
Choose a flat, level, water-resistant
location for the humidifier that will allow
for good air circulation and that is not
accessible to children.
Do not place the humidifier where it
or its cord presents a tripping or
stumbling hazard, or where the air
vents are blocked.

How to Assemble and Use
IMPORTANT: Your Hamilton Beach humidifier is designed for easy use and
maintenance. Make sure that the water tray and filter are properly installed before
filling the tank and operating the humidifier.
DO NOT USE THE HUMIDIFIER WITHOUT THE FILTER IN PLACE!
Selecting the Proper Location
To prevent the risk of injury or damage to the humidifier and furnishings and
provide the best possible performance of your humidifier, follow the placement
guidelines below:
DO:
• Place the humidifier on a flat, stable,
waterproof
surface.
• Place the humidifier along an inside
wall near an electrical outlet where
it is out of the way and it and its cord
do not present
a tripping hazard.
• Select a location with adequate
air circulation.
• Leave at least six inches (15 cm)
between the humidifier and any walls
or furnishings. Failure to do so could
cause poor air circulation and
mildew or moisture damage to walls
or furniture.
• Unplug the humidifier and empty the
water tank and tray if the humidifier is
to be moved, or will not be used
for several days.
