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 (caused by high
mineral content in tap water), you
may use distilled water.
4. Use only 110-120v AC outlet. As with
any electrical device, plug and unplug
unit with dry hands only. Turn unit off
to unplug.
5. Never operate unit with a damaged
cord or plug.
6. 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.
7. Unplug the unit when not in use and
whenever you clean or move the unit.
8. Do not add medication of any type
into the nozzle, base or water tank.
Do not cover any opening of the unit
or insert objects into any openings.
9. 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.
10.Do not tilt or tip unit or attempt to
empty or fill it while it is operating.

Important Safeguards
IMPORTANT!
Place unit on a level surface away from direct sunlight. Keep cord away from heated surfaces and areas where it could be walked on or tripped over.
Using the Ultrasonic Humidifier
1. Fill Water Tank.
Remove tank from base. Turn upside
down and unscrew filling cap. Fill tank
with clean, cool, distilled, or tap water.
Water temperature should NEVER be
too hot or too cold. Return tank to
base and let sit for a few minutes.
Be sure the filling cap of the tank is
tightened firmly.
2. Turn Unit On.
Plug power cord into a 110-120V AC
wall outlet only. Turn power switch to
“On” position. Power light will illumi-
nate. Turn mist nozzle until the desired
level is being released. Aim nozzle away
from furniture and walls.
3. Turn Unit Off When Finished.
Always turn humdifier off when water
runs* out. Unit will continue to operate
when tank is empty.
(*)Humidifier will run up to 12 hours on
Low; 6 hours on High.
NOTE: Do not let water sit in tank for long. This can encourage bacterial growth.
• Aim for 30 to 50% relative humidity.
• Humidity will vary room to room, so
adjust accordingly.
• If windows and walls fog or frost,
reduce mist intensity.
• If a room is too humid, ventilate it by
opening a door or window, and adjust
mist intensity. High levels of humidity
can allow moisture to collect and
harm furniture and walls, especially
wallpaper. It can also encourage
bacterial and fungal growth.

Regular Care and Maintenance
IMPORTANT! Always unplug the unit
before cleaning!
When to Clean the Humidifier
• Every third day during heating season
• Before storing.
• After long periods of storage.
• 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.
Sanitizing the Water Tank
• Use a mild bleach and water solution.
Never use detergent.
Cleaning the Nebulizer and Water
Sensor
1 Remove tank from base and empty
reservoir.
2. Take the brush stored in base and
clean off mineral deposits and debris
from nebulizer and water sensor.
Do not scrape or clean with tools that
have metal parts.
3. 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.
4. The nebulizer (ultrasonic transducer)
is highly sensitive. Keep this important part clean and treat it gently. Do
not touch the nebulizer while the 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.
Storing the Humidifier
• Make sure all parts are thoroughly dry.
• Leave the filling door of the tank
loosened. This will keep the door and
gasket from sticking together.
