2. Screw the Water Tank Cap back onto Water Tank and turn the tank over to place it on Humidifier Base, making sure it fits together securely.
   Note : Do not attempt to move the humidifier while full Water Tank is placed on the Humidifier Base. Doing so may cause leakage of water and/or Humidifier Base to overfill.

3. Plug the power cord into a wall socket and turn on the unit by using the Control Dial.

4. The green Power Indicator Light will illuminate indicating that there is enough water in the Humidifier Base and mist will begin emitting through the Mist Lid.

5. Use the Control Dial to adjust the intensity of the mist output.
   SET THE CORRECT HUMIDITY OUTPUT : Adjust the Control Dial so the mist rises up to be absorbed by the room air. If the mist drops quickly, turn down the control knob until the mist is rising up.

6. When the humidifier runs out of water, the red Power Indicator Light will illuminate and the mist output will stop. This is a safety feature to prevent the humidifier frompossibly overheating and damaging the Nebulizer. Turn the humidifier off and unplug the unit before removing and refilling the water tank. When emptying the base, be sure to pour away from the fan outlet.

A NOTE ABOUT HUMIDITY

1. To reduce excessive humidity or condensation, especially in small rooms, leave the room door open and adjust mist intensity to the low output setting.
