Cartridge (6); remove all packaging material and discard.
Packaging material can be recycled.
3. 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. A safety distance of at least 1,20 m
from any objects should be kept.
FILLING THE WATER TANK
1. Always UNPLUG the humidifier before filling.
2. Remove the Water Tank (3) from the Base (11) and turn
it upside down. Open the Tank Cap (4) by turning it
counter-clockwise
.
3. Fill the Water Tank (3)
only
with clean, cool tap water. Do not
use warm or hot water. This can damage the Cartridge (6) and
the Ultrasonic Nebulizer (10) and void the warranty.
4.
Do not add any substances into the Water Tank (3) or
Reservoir (7) or onto the Cartridge (6) (e.g. inhalant,
aromatic substances etc.). This can cause health hazards.
5. Close the Water Tank (3) with the Tank Cap (4) by turning
it
clockwise
.
6. Check that the Cartridge (6) is in place.
7. Turn the Water Tank (3) upright. Make sure that the Tank Cap
(4) is in place and check it for leaks.
8. Replace the filled Water Tank (3) on the Base (11). Wait for
approx. 15 minutes before operating the humidifier, so
that the water can run through the Cartridge (6) into the
Reservoir (7).
PROTEC DEMINERALIZATION CARTRIDGE
(Model DC-51)
This humidifier may be supplied with a Demineralization
Cartridge (6) that removes minerals from the water. This prevents
the precipitation of minerals (“white dust”) that can occur in hard
water areas. The Demineralization Cartridge (6) is designed to
last for about a month to two months of normal use; the effective
time will vary depending on the mineral content of the water
used. If you live in a hard water area, we recommend the use of
distilled water for better results from the humidifier.
If you are using distilled water in the humidifier, you may find the
Demineralization Cartridge unnecessary. And, if you choose, you
may operate the humidifier without it.
Replacement Cartridge Model DC-51 should be available where
you purchased the humidifier.
For assistance in locating an outlet near you or to purchase
directly from Kaz, please call 1-800-477-0457.
SCENT PAD HEATER DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

so that you can enjoy Vicks soothing menthol vapours to increase

the base.
2. Place one scent pad in the slot, being careful not to touch the
scent pad with your hands. If your hands do come in contact
