-
It is advisable to carry filled Water Tank with two hands.
-
DO NOT operate outdoors. This humidifier is intended for indoor use only.
-
Always have water in the Water Tank when operating the unit.
-

-
Be sure that the Mist Channel is firmly tightened in the Water Tank. Always have the Mist Nozzle in place while the unit is operating. Place the humidifier so the mist aims away from children, walls, furniture and electrical appliances.
-
Use only a 120V AC outlet. ALWAYS plug and unplug unit with dry hands to avoid electric shock.
-
Never operate the unit with a damaged cord or plug.
-
Always place the unit on a smooth, flat, lint-free, non-metallic, waterproof and level surface and position unit away from direct sunlight. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces and areas where it could be walked on or tripped over. Unplug the unit when not in use and whenever you clean or move the unit.
-
Do not add medication or essential oils into the Water Base or Water Tank. Do not cover any openings on the unit or insert objects into any openings.
-
The unit should not be left unattended in a closed room as the air could become saturated and leave condensation on walls or furniture. Leave room door partly open when humidifier is being operated.

When cleaning the inside of the humidifier, keep water away from the Fan Vent. Turn off and unplug the humidifier to wipe the exterior (except the electrical controls) with a damp cloth. Humidifier requires regular cleaning. Please refer to the MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS in this manual.
-
Do not tilt or tip the humidifier or attempt to empty or fill it while it is in operation.
