When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons,
including the following:
1.
Always place this humidifier on a firm, flat and level surface. This humidifier may not work properly
on an uneven surface.
2.
Do not place humidifier directly on wood furniture or other surfaces that could be damaged by water.
3.
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of severe burns, place this humidifier in an area where it is not
accessible to children.
4.
Do not place the humidifier near any heat sources such as stoves, radiators, and heaters.
5.
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.
6.
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.
7.
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.
8.
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.
9.
The humidifier should always be unplugged and emptied when not in operation or while being
serviced or cleaned.
10.
Never tilt or attempt to move the humidifier while it is operating or filled with water.
UNPLUG
the
humidifier before moving.
11. 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. You may have to
clean your unit once per week or more depending on the mineral content of your water.
12.
Do not immerse the base in water or other liquid. Do not pour water in the humidifier outlet.
13.
Do not direct steam directly at individuals, walls or furniture.
14.
When a humidifier is used in a closed room or small rooms, check periodically for proper ventilation,
as excessive humidity can cause condensation stains on walls.
15. Do not attempt to remove Medicine Cup, Power Unit, Water Tank, Water Tray or Mineral
Absorption Pad during operation, or within 10-15 minutes after the humidifier has been turned
“off” and unplugged. Serious injury may result. The Water Tray and Mineral Absorption Pad
should only be removed for cleaning and maintenance purposes.
16. DO NOT touch the steam vapor. Steam can cause severe burns.
17. DO NOT block the mist grille. This will damage the humidifier.
