MACHINE INFORMATION

Intended use
The cool mist humidifier is intended for indoor, non-commercial, household use for increase of humidity (moisture) in residential rooms.
This improves the air quality and prevents the mucous membranes and skin from drying out. The humidifier can be used in enclosed rooms in a free standing position to humidify the environment. The humidifier may only be used completely assembled standing vertically on a stable surface. It incorporates an auto shut off when running out of water or when the water tank is lifted up.

• Do not place the humidifier on an inclined or other unstable place, so as to prevent the humidifier from falling over and causing damage to the base (2) or internal parts of the humidifier.
• Do not place the humidifier within the reach of children.
• Place the humidifier away from furniture and other electrical appliances and avoid spraying the mist directly on the furniture or other electrical appliances to make them damp.
• It is strictly forbidden to use the humidifier in an environment with flammable and explosive gases.
• Do place the humidifier near open flames and heat sources, such as stoves, ovens, radiators or computers.
• Do not place the humidifier in direct sunlight.
• To prevent interference and damage to other electronic devices, this machine should be placed at least 1 meter away from a computer, television, radio or other electronic equipment.

• Put your humidifier in relatively easy access areas. Place it where you can actually attend to it if servicing is necessary. Make sure to clean your humidifier frequently. Change the water regularly because if you do not do that, chances of the bacteria can grow inside the water that will vaporize in the air and can lead to some serious health problems.
  Maintain the indoor humidity level and avoid going over 60%, ideally between 40-60%, if possible. There are some instances that which humidity or dampness in the air can produce enough moisture for molds and mildew to grow.
