SET UP
NOTE: WE RECOMMEND THAT THE HUMIDIFIER BE DISINFECTED PRIOR TO FIRST
USE. PLEASE SEE CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS.
• Select a firm, level, flat location - at least six inches (15 cm) from any wall for
proper air flow (Fig. 1). Place the humidifier on a water-resistant surface, as
water can damage furniture and some flooring.
The manufacturer will not accept responsibility for property damage caused by
water spillage.
• Remove the water tank by grasping handle and
pulling straight up. Set aside (Fig. 1).
• Remove the Filter from the base before filling the
unit with water (Fig. 2). Soak filter in a sink full of
cool water to help reduce mineral build up and
place back in the humidifier while wet. DO NOT
SQUEEZE OR WRING OUT THE FILTER.
To help extend the life of your filter repeat this step
each time you fill your humidifier.
• Turn the Water Tank upside down so that the Fill
Cap is facing up; unscrew the Fill Cap by turning it
counter-clockwise and set aside.
• Fill the Water Tank with COOL tap water (Fig. 3).
Distilled water is not necessary as the water is fil-
tered by the Filter. DO NOT USE HOT WATER. Doing
so may damage the humidifier.
• Replace the fill cap by turning it clockwise .
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. Turn the Water Tank right-
side up.
NOTE: WHEN CARRYING THE FILLED WATER TANK
PLEASE USE THE HANDLE AND PLACE YOUR OTHER
HAND UNDER THE TANK FOR ADDITIONAL SUPPORT.
