READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
HUMIDIFIER, ESPECIALLY THESE BASIC
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
1. Before using the humidifier, extend the cord and inspect for any signs of damage. Do
not use product if cord has been damaged.
2. Always place humidifier on a firm, flat, level surface. Keep cord away from heated
surfaces and out of the way, where it cannot be stepped on or tripped over.
3. Do not place the humidifier directly on wood furniture or other surfaces that could be
damaged by water. Protect by placing the humidifier on a non-metallic waterproof
surface.
4. Place humidifier in an area that is out of the reach of children.
5. Do not operate outdoors; this appliance is intended for indoor use.
6. Do not operate without water. Turn off unit when tank is empty.
7. Do not add any medications (e.g., do not add Kaz Inhalant or Vicks VapoSteam) into
the Water Tray or Water Tank. Do not cover, or insert objects into, any openings on the
unit.
8. Do not immerse the base in water or other liquid. Do not pour water in the outlet.
9. 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 operating. Plug and unplug unit with dry hands.
10. The humidifier should not be left unattended in a closed room since air could become
saturated and leave condensation on walls or furniture. Leave room door partly open.
Do not aim outlet directly at children, walls or furniture.
11. This product 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.
12. Caution: To avoid the risk of fire, shock or personal injury, do not use an extension
cord.
13. Humidifier requires regular cleaning. Refer to and follow cleaning instructions.
14. When moving or lifting the Tank, use one hand on the Tank Handle and the other on the
bottom of the tank.

Using Your Vicks Cool Mist Humidifier
First Time Use
Read all instructions before using this appliance. With proper care and maintenance,
the humidifier should be able to provide at least 18 hours operation per filling.
Unpack and remove all packing material from the Water Tank and Base. Completely unravel
power cord and place unit on a flat, stable surface at least 5 inches away from walls and heat
sources. Do not use product if cord has been damaged. Place cord out of the way where it
cannot be pulled or stepped on. Follow the directions below to fill and operate the Humidifier.
Filling the Water Tank
Always UNPLUG the humidifier before filling.
1. Remove the Water Tank from the Base and turn it upside down. Turn the Tank Cap
counterclockwise to open.
2. Fill the Water Tank with clean, cool, tap water and replace the Tank Cap by firmly turning
clockwise. Turn the tank upright and check Tank Cap for leaks. If any water drips from
Tank Cap, remove it and re-tighten. Make sure the circular rub cap Gasket (o-Ring) is in
place when replacing Tank Cap — this prevents water leakage.
3. Carry Water Tank using one hand on the handle and one on the bottom of the Tank.
4. Be sure the Water Tray and Wicking Filter are in place.
5. Replace the Water Tank on the Base by aligning the Tank Cap into the Water Tray.
Caution:
Do not use hot water, which may damage the wick.
Do not add any medication or other additives to the water.
Do not pour any water into the outlet.
