SAFETY INFORMATION

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or other injury, follow all instructions and safety guidelines.
General Safety

• Only use the humidifier as described in this manual.
• Place the humidifier and cord so that the humidifier will not be knocked over. Do not place near large pieces of furniture or in high-traffic areas.
• When not in use, turn the humidifier off and disconnect from power source by removing the plug from the outlet.
• Do not overfill the water tank, as this may cause electric shock.
• Do not use the humidifier in wet environments.
• Keep the humidifier out of reach from children.
• Do not open the base or remove the water level sensor for self-servicing.
• Always unplug the humidifier from the power outlet before cleaning the humidifier or detaching the water tank from the humidifier base.
• Always make sure the humidifier is placed on a flat, level surface before operation.
• Only fill the water tank with purified or distilled water. Never fill the water tank with any other liquids unless directed by the manual.
• Do not place the humidifier near sources of heat, such as stove tops, ovens, or radiators.
• Do not place the humidifier directly on floors, carpets, or rugs. Only place the humidifier on water-resistant surfaces.

• Do not place foreign objects into the humidifier’s base or water tank.
• Do not direct mist towards walls, furniture, or other objects and areas that are not moisture-resistant.
• Do not clean the humidifier immediately after turning it off, especially if it has been diffusing warm mist. Allow the humidifier to cool down completely before cleaning.
• Do not clean the humidifier with cleaning detergents (see Care & Maintenance, page 16).
• Children should not clean or perform maintenance on the humidifier without supervision.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the humidifier.
• This humidifier is not to be used by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capacities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for the safety.
• Not for commercial use. Household use only.

Caution: Risk of Leaks and
Electric Shock

• Do not add essential oils, supplemental water treatment liquids, or third-party water filters into the water tank or base. This will damage the humidifier and cause leaks. Only add essential oils to the aroma pad.
• If the humidifier is damaged or is not functioning properly, stop using it and contact Customer Support immediately (see page 25).

Power & Cord

• Do not handle the power cord or plug with wet hands. Keep the plug and power cord away from liquids.
• This humidifier has a polarized plug (one prong is wider than the other), which fits into a polarized outlet only one way. This is a safety feature to reduce the risk of electric shock. If the plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, do not use the plug in that outlet. Do not bypass this safety feature.

Not for commercial use. Household use only.

IMPORTANT TIPS
Your humidifier must have the correct amount of water in the inner chamber to work properly. If there is too much water in the inner chamber, the humidifier cannot create mist.

• Never pour water directly into the inner chamber. Only add water to the water tank. [Figure 4.1] The humidifier will automatically release the correct amount of water into the inner chamber.
  

• Avoid moving or shaking the humidifier. [Figure 4.2] This may cause the water tank to release too much water into the inner chamber.
  

• Before moving the humidifier, turn it off, unplug it, and remove the water tank.

• If your humidifier doesn’t produce mist correctly, there may be too much water  n the inner chamber. Pour out the water in the inner chamber, refill the tank, and place the tank back on the base. [Figure 4.3]

The water tank may leak if not placed properly on the base.

• Make sure the silicone ring around the water tank cap is secure at all times. [Figure 4.4]
• Twist and secure the cap tightly onto the water tank. [Figure 4.5] Note: A small gap between the cap and the tank is normal.
• Before moving the humidifier, remove the tank from the base and empty any excess water from the inner chamber of the base.
• Wipe off any excess water on the top and bottom of the base.
• Do not shake the humidifier or place it on an inclined surface. Make sure to place the humidifier on a flat, level surface. [Figure 4.6]
