Important Safeguards

When using electrical appliances, especially when children are present, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1.Always have water in the water tank when operating unit.

2.Use only clean, cool, tap water to fill tank (softened or distilled

water is recommended, if tap water is hard).

3.To avoid white dust, you may use distilled water, or a demineralization cartridge.

4.Be sure the filling cap of the tank is firmly tightened.

5.Always have the mist nozzle and the mist chamber in place while the unit is operating. Rotate the mist nozzle so it is aimed away from children, walls and furniture.

6.Use only110-120VAC outlet. As with any electric device, plug

and unplug unit with dry hands only. Turn unit off to unplug. 7 Never operate unit with a damaged cord or plug.

8. Always place unit on a flat, level surface away from direct sunlight. Keep cord away from heated surfaces and areas where it could be walked on or tripped over. Note: The mist will automatically shut off when the tank is empty; however, the fan will continue to run.

9. Unplug the unit when not in use and whenever you clean or move the unit.

10. Do not add medication of any type into the nozzle, base or water tank. Do not cover any openings of the unit or insert objects into any openings.

11. The unit should not be left unattended in closed rooms as air could become saturated and leave condensation on walls or furniture. Always leave room door partly open.

12. When cleaning inside of unit, keep water away from the air outlet. Exterior may be wiped with a damp cloth (except for electrical

controls) when unit is off. Any part may be wiped with a damp cloth when unit is unplugged.

13.Do not tilt or tip unit or attempt to empty or fill it while it is operating.

14.Do not use detergent to clean any water containing parts of the unit. Detergent film dissolved in the water supply can interfere with the output of the unit.

15.The nebulizer (ultrasonic transducer) is highly sensitive. Keep this important part clean and treat it gently. Do not touch the nebulizer while unit is operating, as possible burns could result. Do not touch the nebulizer with bare fingers. Any residue on the metal will reduce mist output.

This product has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug ‘will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. 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.

OPERATION

To Fill:

1. Remove water tank from base, and turn it upside down. Turn the filling cap counter-clockwise,

2. Fill the tank with clean, cool, tap water or distilled water and fasten the filling cap firmly. Place the water tank back on the unit and allow a few minutes for the water to fill the reservoir. Note: Water that is too cold may temporarily reduce the mist output. Too hot water can damage the nebulizer (ultrasonic transducer).

3.The fan keeps operating when the water tank is empty. Turn the unit off before refilling the water tank.

To Use:

1.Plug power cord into a 120V AC wall outlet oniy.

2.Switch the unit on by turning the power control. The power indicator will illuminate.

3.Adjust the mist intensity control to desired level.

4.Simply turn mist nozzle until the desired amount of mist is coming out.

5.Adjust mist nozzle away from wails and furniture.

It is important to leave the door of the room open when humidifier is being used (see note about humidity).

MAINTENANCE/CARE

General lnformation

Always unplug the unit before cleaning. Drain and clean before storing.

Clean after tong periods of storage.

Clean frequently during the heating season. (Every third day is recommended.) Never immerse unit in water or let water enter the air outlet or any other openings.

Rinse water tank with lukewarm water after each use. To dry for storage, wipe with a soft clean cloth.

To Clean Water Tank:

If tank appears dirty, sanitize it by using a mild bleach and water solution, never detergent.

Rinse thoroughly to be sure bleach is entirely elimlnated before using.

Caution: If water sits in the tank for more than a day or two, bacterial growth is possible.

To Clean Nebulizer and Water Sensor:

Periodically inspect nebulizer and water sensor and keep them free of mineral deposits. Remove the tank from the unit and empty the reservoir in the bottom of the unit. Clean nebulizer (located in the bottom of reservoir) with the brush stored in the unit under the tank. Do not scrape nebulizer or water sensor or clean them with tools that have metal parts. Clean water sensor with the brush.

If instructions are not followed and hard water is used, mineral build-up on the nebulizer will occur. If nebulizer has accumulated hard water build-up, drain the reservoir, refill it with a white vinegar and water solution and let it soak for an hour. Then use the brush to loosen build-up on the nebulizer. Rinse and drain reservoir and wipe clean.

Caution: Minerals in tap water can cause a white dust to appear on furniture, etc. Distilled water reduces buildup of mineral scale and white dust. See inside front cover.

To Store Unit:

The original box makes a good storage place for the unit. Make sure tank, reservoir and all parts are thoroughly dry before storing. If water is left in the unit during storage, water may harden and leave deposits that can prevent the unit from operating properly. Leave filling door of the tank loosened to prevent door and gasket from sticking together. This will prolong the life of the gasket.

A NOTE ABOUT HUMIDITY

It is best to keep the humidity level at about 30 to 50 percent relative humidity.

The comfort level of humidity will vary from room to room and with changing room conditions.

In cold weather, windows and even some walls may fog or develop frost from excessive indoor humidity. If this occurs, reduce the mist intensity setting to avoid damage from condensed water dripping on sills.

Too much humidity in the room may allow moisture to accumulate on surfaces where bacteria and fungi can grow. Collected moisture may also harm furniture and walls, especially wallpaper.

To correct for too much humidity, especially in a small room, leave the room door open and-adjust the mist intensity control setting.

This equipment generafes and uses RF energy and if not installed properly may cause interference to radio and television reception. This device has been tested and found to comply with part 18 of the FCC rules. Should interference occur in a particular installation the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

1.Reorient the receiving antenna of your radio or television.

2.Plug receiver into different outlet so that humidifier and receiver are on different branch circuits.

If necessary, the user should consult an experienced radio/television technician for additional assistance. The user may find the following booklet prepared by the FCC helpful: “How to identify and resolve radio-television interference problems”. The booklet is available from the US government printing office, Washington DC 20402, Stock No.: 004000-00345-4. -

DEMINERALIZATION CARTRIDGE

The demineralization cartridge reduces the amount of minerals that cause white dust to appear

on furniture, etc. if unit is used with tap water. The amount of white dust accumulation depends on your water supply and its mineral content. You may be able to find out the water hardness in your area by calling your local water department.

To use: Just place the demineralization cartridge in the cavity in the bottom of the unit. Then replace the water tank and wait a few minutes for the reservoir to refill. Plug in the unit and turn it on. Mist will start when reservoir is full. If white dust accumulation becomes noticeable, or after long periods of storage, order and insert a new demineralization cartridge.

To order a demineralization cartridge, call 1-800-394-2326. Order demineralization cartridge 6588. VISA and Mastercard accepted.

Note: The performance of the demineralization cartridge is dependent upon the mineral content of your water supply: Efficiency will deteriorate with the number of uses.
