Visible Warm Mist
• With warm mist humidification, water is
boiled in a heating chamber and is then
released into the air as warm mist.
• Because the water is boiled, it produces
99.5% bacteria free mist.

• Be careful not to over-humidify; if
condensation forms around the unit
or on walls and surfaces, turn the
humidifier off or to a lower setting.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR WARM MIST HUMIDIFIER
How it Works
The tank feeds water into the boiling chamber where it is heated to a steam vapor. The steam vapor mixes
with dry air in the mist chimney and warm moist air is released into the room. When the humidifier runs out of
water, the reset light will illuminate and the unit will shut off.

1. The humidifier should ALWAYS be placed on
a firm, flat, waterproof surface at least four
feet (1.2m) away from bedside, 12 inches
(30cm) from the wall and out of reach of
children and pets.
2. Be sure the humidifier is in a stable position
and the power cord is away from heated
surfaces and out of the way to prevent the
humidifier from being overturned.
3. The humidifier should not be left unattended,
especially in a closed room since air could
become saturated and leave condensation
on walls and furniture. If room becomes
saturated, open the door and turn the
humidifier off or down.
4. Before using the humidifier, extend the
cord and inspect for any signs of damage.
DO NOT use the unit if the cord has been
damaged. DO NOT operate with power cord
coiled or with twist tie in place.
5. The humidifier has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other) as a safety
feature. This plug will fit into a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit
fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
DO NOT attempt to defeat this safety
feature.
6. CAUTION: To avoid fire or electric shock
hazard, plug the humidifier directly into a
120V AC electrical outlet. To avoid risk of
fire, electric shock, or personal injury, DO
NOT use an extension cord or power strip.
7. The humidifier should ALWAYS be
unplugged and emptied when not in
operation or while being cleaned. Shut off
and unplug humidifier before moving.
DO NOT move or tilt humidifier while it is
in operation. Plug and unplug unit with dry
hands. NEVER pull by cord.
8. DO NOT operate the humidifier without
water. Turn off and unplug unit when tank
is empty and the reset light is on.
9. Humidifier requires regular cleaning.
Refer to and follow cleaning instructions.
10. DO NOT operate outdoors; this humidifier
is intended for indoor residential use only.
11. DO NOT cover or insert objects into any
openings on the unit. DO NOT block intake
or output vents.
12. DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust any
electrical or mechanical functions on this
humidifier. Doing so will void your warranty.
13. DO NOT add any essential oils or
medications (e.g. Kaz Inhalant or Vicks
VapoSteam®) into Chimney, Reservoir,
or Water Tank.
14. DO NOT touch the steam vapor. Steam
can cause burns. DO NOT operate without
the Essential Oil Cup in place on top of
the Mist Chimney.
15. For Residential Use Only
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
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:
COMPONENTS
¹ Based on Inter tek Testing Services NA, Inc. Independent Laboratory Testing
Report 103340980COL-001. Results are based on the reduction of the
following organisms after 1 hour of continuous use:
Bacteria: E. coli up to 99.999% af ter 1 hour of continuous use
Fungus: P. citrinum up to 99.999% after 1 hour of continuous use
Mold: A . niger up to 99.999% after 1 hour of continuous use
Virus: Phi-X174 up to 99.999% after 1 hour of continuous use
4 5
USING YOUR HUMIDIFIER
1. Power: With the Power Knob in the OFF position ( ), plug the filled
humidifier into a polarized 120V outlet.
CAUTION: To avoid electric shock, DO NOT plug in humidifier
with wet hands.
2. Output: Turn Power Knob to high ( ) or low ( ). A green light will indicate the
humidifier is working, but it will take 34 minutes for visible steam to appear.
3. Humidity Level: Once a comfortable humidity level has been reached, turn to the
low setting. A comfortable humidity level is between 4060%.
Consider using a humidity monitor such as Honeywell HHM10 /H10C to display
current room humidity and temperature. If condensation forms on walls, windows, or
around unit, turn humidifier off; the humidity level is too high.
CAUTION: TURN HUMIDIFIER OFF, UNPLUG AND WAIT 2030 MINUTES FOR UNIT TO COOL BEFORE
MOVING OR CLEANING. DO NOT OPERATE YOUR HUMIDIFIER WITHOUT THE TANK IN PLACE OR IF THE
UNIT IS EMPTY. DO NOT OPERATE YOUR HUMIDIFIER WITHOUT THE MIST CHIMNEY, WATER TRAY,
HEATING ELEMENT COVER, AND ESSENTIAL OIL CUP PROPERLY ASSEMBLED.
NOTE: Consider using a Protec® Cleaning Ball to keep your humidifier cleaner longer.
It will continuously clean and protect against bacteria and mold. It will also help prevent the
buildup of slime in the water and on humidifier surfaces. The Protec Ball will keep your humidifier
cleaner longer between cleanings. However, your humidifier still needs to be cleaned regularly.
USING THE ESSENTIAL OIL CUP
This humidifier features an Essential Oil Cup that can be used with your favorite essential oil or liquid inhalant
for added enjoyment. This is not a diffuser - the oil does not come in contact with water and is passively
evaporated into the air. Essential oil and inhalant sold separately.
1. Add a few drops of essential oil or liquid inhalant in the Cup.
WARNING: DO NOT pour any liquids into the Mist Chimney. DO NOT ADD LIQUID INHALANTS,
ESSENTIAL OILS OR ANY ADDITIVES TO THE WATER. DOING SO CAN HAVE ADVERSE EFFECTS ON THE
HUMIDIFIER AND VOID THE WARRANTY.
2. To clean the Essential Oil Cup, ensure the humidifier is off, unplugged, and cooled for at least 20 minutes and
gently wipe residue from the Essential Oil Cup.

CLEANING YOUR HUMIDIFIER
To keep your humidifier running efficiently, clean it regularly. Weekly cleaning is recommended. All maintenance
should be done in the kitchen or bathroom on a water-resistant surface near a faucet.
To properly clean your humidifier, we recommend the separate processes of Scale Removal and Disinfecting.
These two processes must be performed separately.
Before Cleaning
1. Turn off and unplug humidifier. NEVER clean the humidifier when it is running. If the humidifier has recently
been in use, wait at least 2030 minutes for unit to cool before beginning cleaning process.
2. Remove any accessories, and empty oils from the Essential Oil Cup. Then remove and empty Water Tank and
set aside.
3. Pull red Locking Latch toward front of unit (a) and lift Mist Chimney up (b) to remove. Remove Water Tray from
Base by pulling up from the Tab (c) and the opening in front of the Latch, then empty Water Tray.
4. Replace Water Tray and Mist Chimney. These must be in place for cleaning.
See Reassembling instructions after Cleaning your Humidifier section for reference.
Scale Removal
Keeping the Heating Element free of scale will help the humidifier to run efficiently.
1. Remove Water Tank and slowly pour 2 cups (0.5 liters) of undiluted, distilled white vinegar into the Reservoir
on the Water Tray. DO NOT pour vinegar over the red Locking Latch. Only pour into the deep Reservoir.
NOTE: Pour slowly to give enough time for vinegar to flow from the Reservoir into the Heating Chamber.
The vinegar will slowly begin to fill the Heating Chamber, located under the Mist Chimney. Let soak for 20
minutes to loosen scale on the Heating Element.
For Tank scale removal:
While Heating Element is soaking, pour additional vinegar into the Water Tank, replace Tank Cap and swish to
coat inside of Water Tank. Use a cloth dampened with vinegar to wipe away any scale on the inside of the
Water Tank and Tank Cap. Empty vinegar and rinse Tank until the smell of vinegar is gone.
