When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed. Failure to
follow these safety precautions may result in personal injury, property damage, fire or shock.
1. Always have water in water tank (water bottle) when operating unit.
2. Use only clean, distilled or FILTERED tap water. Using tap water with a high mineral content
(hard water) will result in a white dust and the need for more frequent cleanings. Hard water
can be harmful to unit and may eventually cease its operation.
3. Be sure the water bottle adaptor is tightly and completely inserted into the water bottle.
4. Position the unit within the room so the air output from the mist control output nozzle is
aimed away from children, walls and furniture.
5. When removing the water bottle, have both hands securely on the bottle.
6. DO NOT use if tank (water bottle) is cracked.
7. DO NOT place the appliance near heating devices such as a stove. Keep it out of direct
sunlight. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces and areas where it can be stepped on or
tripped over.
8. Use only 110-120V AC outlet. Be sure unit is plugged in firmly and completely. As with any
electrical device, plug and unplug unit with dry hands only.
9. Turn the humidifier off and unplug the unit when not in use, when moving or when cleaning.
10. To avoid the risk of fire, shock or personal injury, do not use an extension cord.
Warning: Never operate unit with a damaged cord or plug.
11. Never set on floor. Always place unit on a flat, level, waterproof surface at least 24 inches off
floor AWAY from direct sunlight, computers or other sensitive electronic equipment. DO NOT
place the humidifier on wood furniture or other surfaces that can be damaged by water.
DO NOT place on floor or carpet.
12. DO NOT add medication or cleaning products of any type into the mist control nozzle, base
or water tank. (See “Weekly Maintenance Cleaning & Care” section of this manual for proper
instructions on cleaning the unit.) DO NOT cover, block or place anything over any opening.
NEVER drop or insert any object into any openings.
13. The unit should not be left unattended in closed rooms as air could become saturated and
leave condensation on walls or furniture. Always leave room door partially open.
14. DANGER: NEVER immerse the humidifier motor unit (base) in water or other liquids as
electrical shock may occur.
15. DO NOT use outdoors.
16. Turn humidifier OFF if the relative humidity exceeds 60% or if you notice condensation on
inside of windows. For proper humidity reading, use a hydrometer which is available in many
retail stores.
17. The nebulizer (ultrasonic transducer) is highly sensitive. Keep this important part clean and
treat it gently. Only clean per instructions.
WARNING:
• Do not touch the nebulizer while the unit is operating, as possible burns could result.
• Do not touch the nebulizer with fingers. Any residue on the metal will reduce mist output.
18. The unit contains no consumer serviceable parts. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do
not attempt to open the base of the humidifier.
