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. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of burns, 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. 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.

5. 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 fully in the out­let, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a

qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt to defeat
this safety feature.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. The humidifier should always be unplugged and

emptied when not in operation or while being ser­viced or cleaned.

9. Never tilt or attempt to move the humidifier while it

is operating or filled with water. UNPLUG the
humidifier before moving.

10. 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.

11. 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 (see
ACCESSORIES).

12. DO NOT touch the steam vapor. Steam can

cause burns.

13. DO NOT block the mist Grill. This will damage

the humidifier.
