We recommend checking the Base and Water Tank for leaks that
may have occurred due to damage caused in shipping. Please
note a visual inspection may not reveal hairline fractures.
To Check for Leaks:
Place Humidifier on a water-resistant surface.
Fill Water Tank and Base with water to inspect for leaks (For
instructions see FILLING WATER TANK.)
Not Leaking?
Empty water from Base and install full Water TANK (For
instructions see FILLING WATER TANK.)
Leaking?
In the remote chance your Humidifier has leaks, contact Vornado

Important Instructions
READ AND SAVE ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS HUMIDIFIER.
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock and injury to
persons, including the following:
Read all instructions before using this Humidifier.
This Humidifier may not work properly on an uneven surface.
Always place this Humidifier on a firm, flat surface.
This Humidifier requires periodic cleaning. Refer to the CLEANING
instructions provided. Never clean the Humidifier in any manner
other than as instructed in this manual.
Turn the Humidifier off if the relative humidity exceeds 60%.
Humidity levels above 60% may allow moisture to build up indoors
and condense on surfaces, where bacteria and fungi can settle and
grow. For accurate humidity readings, use a hygrometer which is
available at most hardware stores and home centers.
Unplug the Humidifier prior to moving, cleaning or refilling.
This Humidifier should always be unplugged and emptied when
not in operation.
This product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line
plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will
fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a SAFETY FEATURE.
If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try
reversing the plug. If the plug still fails to fit, contact an electrician
to replace the obsolete outlet. DO NOT defeat the safety purpose
of the polarized plug.
DO NOT operate the Humidifier with a damaged cord or plug,
after the Humidifier malfunctions, or has been dropped or
damaged in any manner. Return to Vornado for examination,
electrical or mechanical adjustment or repair.

DO NOT run power cord under carpeting. DO NOT cover cord
with throw rugs, runners or similar objects. Arrange the power cord
away from traffic areas, so it will not become a tripping hazard.
DO NOT place the Humidifier near heat sources such as stoves,
radiators or heaters.
DO NOT run unit without the Mist Outlet in place. The Mist Outlet
can be removed for cleaning.
Never pour water through the top Outlet Air Grill on the Power
Head.
If the Humidifier is to be turned off and left for more than 12 hours,
the water should be emptied from the unit, as leaving the water
will encourage the growth of algae or bacteria. If this happens,
thoroughly clean and disinfect the unit. (Refer to the CLEANING
instructions.)
If you need to move the Humidifier to another location, remove
the Water Reservoir first.
Use only water and mild detergents to perform daily maintenance
on your Humidifier. Do not use undiluted bleach or ammonia,
strong detergents, abrasive cleansers, gasoline, paint thinner or
other solvents to clean this Humidifier.
The Power Head contains no user serviceable parts. If you
experience a problem, please see the warranty for information.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DISASSEMBLE THE POWER HEAD.
DOING SO WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY AND COULD CAUSE
DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.
DO NOT repeatedly remove and replace the Water Reservoir. This
will only fill the Base and water will spill out.
This device complies with Part 18 of the FCC Rules.
This ISM device complies with Canadian ICES-001.

ULTRA3 HUMIDIFIER
Without adequate circulation With Vornado Vortex Action
Unlike any other ultrasonic humidifier, Vornado delivers whole room
humidification using our exclusive Vortex Action. The Vornado
Ultrasonic channels mist into a powerful beam of air and evenly distributes the humidity throughout the living area. Other systems are
only designed to push mist out of the unit, once outside, there is
no mechanism to deliver the humidity throughout the living space.
The mist simply falls, leaving the floor damp.
