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.
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.

instructions provided. Never clean the humidifier in any manner other than
as instructed in this manual.
11. Turn the humidifier OFF if the relative humidity exceeds 60%, or 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 Care Products).
