3. Do
not operate the humidifier outdoors; do not place in
direct sunlight, high-temperature areas or near computers or
sensitive electronic equipment.
4. Place the humidifier on a level, firm, non-metallic and
waterproof surface. Make sure it is in a stable position, so that
it cannot fall over or fall down. Water can damage furniture
and floors.
5. Unravel the cord before use. Failure to do so could cause
overheating and possiblefire hazard.

voltage shown on the rating plate.

filling, touching, moving, cleaning or when not in use. Do not
pull on the cord when disconnecting it.

Reservoir (7) (e.g. inhalant, aromatic substances etc.). This
