IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:

Read all instructions before using the appliance.
T o avoid fire or shock hazard, plug the appliance directly into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
Keep the cord out of heavy traffic areas. To avoid fire hazard, NEVER put the cord under rugs or near heat registers.
DO NOT place humidifier near heat sources such as stoves, radiators, and heaters. DO locate your humidifier on an inside wall near an electrical outlet. The humidifier should be at least 4 inches (10 cm) away from the wall for best results.
NEVER place humidifier in an area where it is accessible to children. NEVER use a humidifier in a closed room, particularly where a child may be sleeping, resting, or playing (a closed room may result in excessive humidity).
WARNING: Do not attempt to refill the humidifier without first unplugging the unit from its electrical outlet. Failure to heed this warning may cause personal injury. Be sure to unplug the unit by pulling on the plug and not the cord.
Never place anything over the moisture outlet when the unit is running.
NEVER drop or insert any object into any openings unless instructed in this manual.
DO NOT operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, after the appliance malfunctions, or if it has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the manufacturer for examination, electrical or mechanical adjustment, or repair.
Use appliances only for intended household use as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may cause hazards.
DO NOT use outdoors.
Always place the humidifier on a firm, flat, level surface. A waterproof mat or pad is recommended for use under the humidifier. NEVER place it on a rug or carpet, or on a finished floor that may be damaged by exposure to water or moisture.
DO NOT allow the Moisture Outlet to directly face the wall. Moisture could cause damage, particularly to wallpaper.
The humidifier should be unplugged when not in use.
NEVER tilt, move, or attempt to empty unit while it is operating. Shut off and unplug before removing the water tank and moving the unit.
This humidifier requires daily and weekly maintenance to operate appropriately. Refer to daily and weekly cleaning procedures. Use only cleaners and additives recommended by the manufacturer.
NEVER use detergents, gasoline, glass cleaner, furniture polish, paint thinner, or other household solvents to clean any part of the humidifier.
Excessive humidity in a room can cause water condensation on windows and some furniture. If this happens, turn the humidifier OFF.
Do not use a humidifier in an area where the humidity level is more than 50%. Use a hygrometer, available at your local retailer or through the manufacturer, to measure the humidity.
DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust any electrical or mechanical functions on this unit. Doing so will void your warranty. The inside of the unit contains no user-serviceable parts. All servicing should be performed by qualified personnel only.
Never place housing under water flow or immerse in liquids.
Do not plug in the cord with wet hands: electric shock could result.
Do not pour water in any openings other than the water tank.
To prevent damage to surfaces, do not place humidifier under overhanging surfaces.
NEVER operate unit without water in the tank.
Do not move unit after it has been used until unit cools completely.
Use both hands when carrying full tank of water.
Failure to clean device per the cleaning instructions in the instruction book may result in overheating or fire.
PLEASE READ AND SAVE THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
THIS APPLIANCE HAS A POLARIZED PLUG (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MODIFY THIS PLUG OR DEFEAT THIS SAFETY FEATURE IN ANY WAY.

CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
NOTE:

This is an electrical appliance and requires attention when in use.
If moisture forms on the walls or windows of the room, turn off the humidifier. The room already has plenty of humidity and additional moisture may cause damage.
DO NOT block air inlet or outlet
Keep unit away from surfaces that can be damaged by water and/or heat (such as wood floors).
Place mat underneath the unit during use.
Do not place the humidifier on carpet. The heat sink underneath the humidifier might cause the carpet to be discolored and may cause overheating of the unit.

Cord and Plug Installation Safety Instructions:
The length of cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the humidifier (refer to the rating information placed on the humidifier). Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

HOW WARM MIST WORKS
Your Sunbeam® Warm Mist humidifier is designed to allow the proper amount of water to flow out of the tank. Air is drawn in through the grill openings located in the back of the unit and mixed with steam in the misting chamber. The warm mist is then dispersed out of the top of the misting chamber through the outlet grill and into the room.
NOTE: A humidity level below 20% can be unhealthy and uncomfortable. The recommended humidity level is between 40%-50%.

FEATURES – OPERATIONS

PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Be sure the humidifier is switched off.
Select a location for your humidifier, on a flat level surface about 4 inches (10 cm) away from the wall. DO NOT place the humidifier on a finished floor or near furniture, which can be damaged by too much moisture or water. Place on a moisture-resistant surface.
Remove the tank from the main housing.
Bring the tank to the sink, turn upside down and twist off the tank cap by turning it counterclockwise. Fill tank with cool, fresh tap water. DO NOT fill with warm water as this may cause leaking. Replace the tank cap FIRMLY. The tank will hold 1 gallon of water. The humidifier will produce up to 2.5 gallons of water over 24 hours.

IMPORTANT: If you do not plan to use the humidifier for two or more days, make sure any residual water is drained from the water tank and base to prevent algae or bacteria growth.

CLEANING/MAINTENANCE

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
The following maintenance procedures must be routinely followed to ensure proper, efficient operation of your humidifier. The unit will not work properly if not cleaned regularly. When the unit is in use, daily and weekly maintenance is recommended. Regular weekly cleaning prevents scale buildup on the heating element and tray. It also prevents microorganisms from growing on the tray and tank. This ensures that maximum efficiency will be achieved. We cannot over-emphasize how essential proper cleaning is to the maintenance and continued use of your unit and to the avoidance of algae or bacteria build-up.

DAILY MAINTENANCE

Before cleaning, set the power knob to OFF position and unplug the unit from the electrical outlet.
Remove the water tank then unlock the misting chamber by turning the safety lock in an anti-clockwise direction. Lift the mist chamber from the unit’s base. Now lift the tray from the base.
Empty water and minerals from the tray and place in the top rack of the dishwasher. This will remove any sediment and dirt that has accumulated in the tray.
NOTE: The tray must be cleaned properly. The tray is dishwasher safe (top rack ONLY) for easy cleaning.
Wipe the heating element clean with a soft cloth after it has had a chance to cool.
The Electronic Thermal Control Heating element is lined with a coating that is designed to provide the easiest cleaning and prolong the operating efficiency of the humidifier. DO NOT use any metal or hard objects to clean the Heating Element.
Never use detergents, gasoline, kerosene, glass cleaner, furniture polish, paint thinner or other household solvents to clean any part of the humidifier.

WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
