When using electrical appliances, basic precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, and injury to persons, including the fol-
lowing:
1. Always place this humidifier on a firm, flat and level surface. This humidifier may not
work properly on an uneven surface.
2.
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of burns, place this humidifier in an area where it is not
accessible to 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. When a humidifier is used in a closed room or small rooms, check periodically for prop-
er ventilation, as excessive humidity can cause condensation stains on walls.
12. Do not direct moisture flow directly at individuals, walls or furniture.
13. 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 depart-
ment stores.
14.
DO NOT
touch the steam vapor. Steam can cause burns.
15.
DO NOT BLOCK THE MIST GRILLE. THIS WILL DAMAGE THE HUMIDIFIER
.
