TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

BEFORE EACH USE:

CHECK HUMIDIFIER PLACEMENT:
Place the humidifier on an elevated, non-metallic, lint-free, waterproof, level surface at least 2 feet above the floor.

• DO NOT PLACE ON CARPET OR TOWEL. The fan vent is located on the back of the humidifier base. The fan vent MUST NOT be obstructed.
• DO NOT PLACE ON WOOD SURFACE or near furniture that can be damaged by too much moisture.

A NOTE ABOUT HUMIDITY

• To reduce excessive humidity or condensation, especially in small rooms, leave the room door open and adjust mist intensity to the low output setting.
• Too much humidity in the room may allow moisture to accumulate on surfaces where bacteria and fungi can grow. Moisture that gathers may also damage furniture and walls,  especially wallpaper.

CAUTION
• DO NOT attempt to operate the humidifier without water in the Water Tank.
• DO NOT plug or unplug the Power Cord with wet hands as electric shock could occur.

ASSEMBLY & USE

10. When the humidifier runs out of water, the Power Indicator will blink red 3 times and the unit will shut off. This is a safety feature to prevent the humidifier from possibly overheating and damaging the Nebulizer. Unplug the humidifier before removing the top and refilling the humidifier.
