IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

READ AND SAVE THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE. WHEN USING ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES, PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, AND INJURY TO PERSONS, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:

• The humidifier should always be placed on a firm, flat, waterproof surface at least four feet away from the bedside, five inches from the wall, and away from sunlight. Keep away from computers or sensitive electronic equipment.
• KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. THIS HUMIDIFIER IS NOT A TOY! Do not let your child play with this humidifier. Serious injury and electrocution might be possible. This humidifier must be operated by an adult only. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with this humidifier.
