SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING THIS HUMIDI-
FIER
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 prop-
erly on an uneven surface.
2.
CAUTION
: To reduce the risk of burns, place
this humidifier in an area where it is not accessi-
ble 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 agree-
ment 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 polar-
ized outlet. If the plug does not fit fully in the out-
let, 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 ser-
viced 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.
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 department stores or by
ordering one from the manufacturer (see
ACCESSORIES).
12.
DO NOT touch the steam vapor. Steam can
cause burns.
13.
DO NOT block the mist Grill. This will damage
the humidifier.
