1. Power:
With the power knob in the OFF position ( ), plug the filled humidifier into a polarized
120V outlet.
Do not force the polarized plug into the outlet
; It will only fit one way. To avoid
electric shock
do not
plug in humidifier with wet hands.
2. Output:
Turn Power Knob to high (
) or low ( ) to select desired humidity level. The green
light around the Power Knob will illuminate and after 1-2 minutes your humidifier will produce a
visible steam.
3. Humidity Level:
A comfortable humidity level is between 40-60%.
To monitor your humidity level it is recommended you use a hygrometer such as the Vicks V70
or V70-CAN model or the Honeywell H10C model. If condensation appears on walls or windows
the humidity level is too high. If this occurs, open a door and turn humidifier off or down.
