IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS
HUMIDIFIER
When using electrical appliances, basic
precautions should always be followed to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and
injury to persons, including the following:
1. Always place this humidifier on a firm, flat
and level surface. This humidifier may not
work properly on an uneven surface.
2. Place this humidifier in an area where it is not
accessible to children.
3. Do not place the humidifier near any heat
sources such as stoves, radiators, and
heaters.
4. Do not use the humidifier outdoors.
5. Before using the humidifier, check the power
cord for any signs of damage. If the cord is
found to be damaged, DO NOT USE and
return the humidifier to the manufacturer
under the warranty agreement for repair.
6. This appliance has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other). To reduce the
risk of shock, this plug is intended to fit only
one way in a polarized outlet. If the plug does
not fit securely in the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. DO NOT attempt to defeat this
safety feature.
7. To disconnect the humidifier, first turn
controls to the OFF position, then grip the
plug and pull it from the wall outlet. Never
pull by the cord.
8. A loose fit between the AC outlet (receptacle)
and plug may cause overheating and a
distortion of the plug. Contact a qualified
electrician to replace loose or worn outlet.
9. The humidifier should always be unplugged
and emptied when not in operation or while
being serviced or cleaned.
10. Never tilt or attempt to move the humidifier
while it is operating or filled with water.
UNPLUG the humidifier before moving.
11. This humidifier requires regular cleaning.
Refer to the CLEANING instructions provided.
Never clean the humidifier in any manner
other than as instructed in this manual.
12. Do not direct moisture flow directly at
individuals, walls or furniture.
13. When a humidifier is used in a closed room or
small rooms, check periodically for proper
ventilation, as excessive humidity can cause
condensation stains on walls.
14. Turn the humidifier OFF if you notice moisture
on the inside of your windows. For proper
humidity reading use a hygrometer, which is
available in many hardware and department
stores, or by ordering one from the
manufacturer.
The sealed UV bulbs contain a small
amount of mercury. Dispose of these items
at household hazardous waste collection
sites only. If the UV bulb breaks, do not
vacuum or handle with your bare hands.

HOW IT WORKS
Quiet Care Technology –
Dry air is pulled through the humidifier and the
QuietCare
™
fan blows out invisible, moisturebalanced air. Unwanted minerals and bacteria
from the water are trapped inside the filter. When
the unit is running you WILL NOT see or feel a
“mist.” You will know your humidifier is putting
moisture into the air as the water level decreases
in the tank throughout the day.
Protec
™
Antimicrobial Treated Filter –
Your filter has been treated with Protec
™
antimicrobial which helps prevent surface growth
and migration of mold, mildew, algae, fungus and
odor-causing bacteria in the filter for its life –
approximately 1-3 months*. Keep in mind,
depending on your water quality, mineral deposits
can still clog or discolor the filter, affecting its life
and that of the humidifier.
Air Washing Technology –
Unique air washing system which helps “wash the
air as it humidifies.” The unique pre-filter in
combination with an ionizer helps capture dust,
dirt, and pollen while freshening the air**.
UV Water Sanitizing Technology –
The UV germicidal
bulb located inside the main
housing of the humidifier shines on the water
passing through the chamber.This technology
reduces the likelihood of harmful
microorganisms***.

** The antimicrobial agent contained in the filter is intended to prolong filter life only by inhibiting the growth of unsightly mold, mildew
and algae, as well as controlling odor from odor causing bacteria. The antimicrobial in the filter does not protect the user or others
against bacteria, germs, viruses or other disease causing organisms. Always follow manufacturer’s instructions regarding cleaning,
maintenance and service of your humidifier.
** From the air that passes through the pre-filter. Also note the pre-filter may slightly decrease humidity output.
*** Based on independent testing, report 3095045-01. Results are based on microbial reduction rate testing performed using tap water
in the water tray. The following listed microorganism growth reduction was maintained after 2 hours of continuous exposure to the
ultraviolet light in the humidifier.
Bacteria: Escheria Coli - 99%
Pseudomonas fluorescens - 99%
Mold: Aspergillus niger - 99%
Fungus: Penecillium pinophilum - 99%
Virus: MS2 - 99%
