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. This
product is not a toy. Keep out of reach of 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.
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a Sesame Street Humidifier.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Dry air is pulled through the system and a quiet 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 you watch the water level in your tank
decrease throughout the day.
MODEL - SH SERIES:
Your humidifier is made up of these parts:
WATER TANK
FILL CAP
FILTER
REMOVABLE TRAY
POWER
BASE
SET UP
NOTE: WE RECOMMEND THAT THE HUMIDIFIER BE DISINFECTED PRIOR TO FIRST
USE. PLEASE SEE CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS.
• Select a firm, level, flat location - at least six inches (15 cm) from any wall for
proper air flow (Fig. 1). Place the humidifier on a water-resistant surface, as
water can damage furniture and some flooring.
The manufacturer will not accept responsibility for property damage caused by
water spillage.
FILLING
• Remove the water tank by grasping handle and
pulling straight up. Set aside (Fig. 1).
• Remove the Filter from the base before filling the
unit with water (Fig. 2). Soak filter in a sink full of
cool water to help reduce mineral build up and
place back in the humidifier while wet. DO NOT
SQUEEZE OR WRING OUT THE FILTER.
To help extend the life of your filter repeat this step
each time you fill your humidifier.
• Turn the Water Tank upside down so that the Fill
Cap is facing up; unscrew the Fill Cap by turning it
counter-clockwise and set aside.
• Fill the Water Tank with COOL tap water (Fig. 3).
Distilled water is not necessary as the water is filtered by the Filter. DO NOT USE HOT WATER. Doing
so may damage the humidifier.
• Replace the fill cap by turning it clockwise .
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. Turn the Water Tank rightside up.
NOTE: WHEN CARRYING THE FILLED WATER TANK
PLEASE USE THE HANDLE AND PLACE YOUR OTHER
HAND UNDER THE TANK FOR ADDITIONAL SUPPORT.

FILLING CONTINUED
• Position the Water Tank in the humidifier and push into place. Some water will
empty into the base.
• Once the filled tank has been positioned, do not attempt to move the humidifier. If
it has to be moved, unplug the humidifier and remove the water tank first.
CAUTION: DO NOT POUR WATER INTO THE GRILLE ON THE POWER BASE.
DOING SO MAY DAMAGE THE HUMIDIFIER OR CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.
OPERATION
POWER
CAUTION: DO NOT PLUG IN THE HUMIDIFIER WITH WET HANDS AS AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK COULD OCCUR.
• With the power switch in the OFF position, plug the filled humidifier into a
polarized 120V outlet. DO NOT FORCE THE POLARIZED PLUG INTO THE OUTLET;
it will only fit one way.
HUMIDITY CONTROL
• Set the fan speed CONTROL to the desired position
(Fig. 4). HIGH: For fast humidifying NORMAL: For quieter
operation
NOTE: THE LENGTH OF TIME YOUR HUMIDIFIER RUNS
WILL VARY DEPENDING ON THE QUALITY OF CONSTRUCTION, ROOM SIZE, AND INSULATION OF YOUR ROOM AND
HOUSE, AS WELL AS THE FAN SPEED AND HUMIDITY IN
THE AIR.
• Turn the humidifier OFF if the humidity level feels too moist or you notice conden-
sation forming on the walls and/or windows.
• ALWAYS be sure to empty any unused water in the Removable Tray and/or Water
Tank each time you refill the water tank or finish using the humidifier.

WEEKLY CLEANING
We recommend cleaning the humidifier once a week, more often if you have hard
water, notice a build up of impurities or detect unpleasant odors.
Cleaning involves two steps: SCALE REMOVAL and DISINFECTING. Be sure to
perform these in the proper order to avoid harmful chemical interactions.
• First, turn off and unplug the humidifier.
• Remove the Water Tank.
• Remove the Filter from the Base.
• Empty any water from the Base.
NOTE: REMOVE FILTER BEFORE CLEANING.
Failure to remove filter during cleaning will destroy the filter.
STEP ONE:
SCALE REMOVAL
REMOVABLE TRAY
1. Fill the Removable Tray with:
• 1 cup (8 ozs.) of undiluted white vinegar
2. Let solution stand for 20 minutes.
3. With the vinegar in the Removable
Tray, clean all interior surfaces with a
soft cloth or brush to help remove scale.
4. Rinse thoroughly with water to
remove scale and cleaning solution.
NOTE: THE USE OF OTHER WATER TREATMENT PRODUCTS AND CHEMICALS MAY
CAUSE DETERIORATION OF THE FILTER OR DAMAGE THE HUMIDIFIER, THEREBY
HINDERING THE HUMIDIFIER’S EFFECTIVENESS.
Water Tank/Removable TRAY
1. Fill the Water Tank with:
• 1 teaspoon of household bleach and
• 1 gallon of water
Pour some of this solution into the Tray.
2. Let solution stand for 20 minutes.

bleach is gone.
STEP TWO:
