If the humidifier output volume cannot be turned down, use the humidifier intermittently. Do not allow absorbent materials, such as carpeting, curtains, drapes or tablecloths to become damp.
• Never leave water in the reservoir when the appliance is not in use.
• Empty and clean the humidifier before storage. Clean the humidifier before next use if it has been in storage.
