IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS HUMIDIFIER

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

  1. Always place this humidifier on a firm, flat and level surface. This humidifier may not work properly on an uneven surface.
  2. Do not place humidifier directly on wood furniture or other surfaces that could be damaged by water.
  3. CAUTION : To reduce the risk of severe burns, place this humidifier in an area where it is not accessible to children.
  4. Do not place the humidifier near any heat sources such as stoves, radiators, and heaters.
  5. Before using the humidifier, check the power cord for any signs of damage. If the cord is found to be damaged, DO NOT USE and return the humidifier to the manufacturer under the warranty agreement for repair.
  6. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of shock, this plug is intended to fit only one way in a polarized outlet. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt to defeat this safety feature.
  7. To disconnect the humidifier, first turn controls to the OFF position, then grip the plug and pull it from the wall outlet. Never pull by the cord.
  8. A loose fit between the AC outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause overheating and a distortion of the plug. Contact a qualified electrician to replace loose or worn outlet.
  9. The humidifier should always be unplugged and emptied when not in operation or while being serviced or cleaned.
  10. Never tilt or attempt to move the humidifier while it is operating or filled with water. UNPLUG the humidifier before moving.
  11. This humidifier requires regular cleaning. Refer to the CLEANING instructions provided. Never clean the humidifier in any manner other than as instructed in this manual. You may have to clean your unit once per week or more depending on the mineral content of your water.
  12. Do not immerse the base in water or other liquid. Do not pour water in the humidifier outlet.
  13. Do not direct steam directly at individuals, walls or furniture.
  14. When a humidifier is used in a closed room or small rooms, check periodically for proper ventilation, as excessive humidity can cause condensation stains on walls.
  15. Do not attempt to remove Medicine Cup, Power Unit, Water Tank, Water Tray or Mineral Absorption Pad during operation, or within 10-15 minutes after the humidifier has been turned “off” and unplugged. Serious injury may result. The Water Tray and Mineral Absorption Pad should only be removed for cleaning and maintenance purposes.
  16. DO NOT touch the steam vapor. Steam can cause severe burns.
  17. DO NOT block the mist grille. This will damage the humidifier.

Introduction

HOW DOES IT WORK?
QUICK STEAM WARM MOISTURE SYSTEM:
Water passes into the unit where it is heated and purified by the QuickSTEAM™ heating plate. The unit then pulls the air through the top vent and spreads invisible, bacteria-free mist into the room.

Your humidifier is made up of these parts

Set-Up

NOTE: We recommend that the humidifier be disinfected prior to first use. Please see CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS.

Select a firm, level, flat location – at least six inches (15 cm) from any wall or object for proper air flow (Fig. 1). Place the humidifier on a water- resistant surface, as water can damage furniture and some flooring.

Kaz will not accept responsibility for property damage caused by water spillage.

  • Remove the Water Tank by grasping handle and pulling straight up (Fig. 1). Set aside.
  • Remove the Power Unit by grasping it and lightly tilting forward while pulling up. You will feel the unit disengage from its lock (Fig. 2). Set the Power Unit aside.
  • Remove the Water Tray (Fig. 3). Set the Water Tray aside.
  • Place one Mineral Absorption Pad flat on the Heating Plate. See the MINERAL ABSORPTION PAD section (page 5) for more information.
  • Replace the Water Tray.
  • Replace the Power Unit, making sure it is installed properly. Align the back of the Power Unit directly behind the tabs of the Base and press down firmly. You will hear a slight click. Your Power Unit will be flush with the Base (Fig. 4).
  • Fill the Water Tank with cool tap water (Fig. 5). See the FILLING section (page 5) for more information.

NOTE: Save your box for end of season storage. (See END OF SEASON CARE AND STORAGE section.)

Mineral Absorption Pad Instructions
CAUTION: HOT SURFACES MAY CAUSE SEVERE BURNS. DO NOT TOUCH ANY SURFACES UNTIL THEY HAVE COOLED.

Water contains minerals and other particles. The amount of minerals varies dependent on your local water supply. It is common for these minerals to stick to your humidifier’s Heating Plate and in turn decrease the performance of your humidifier. Mineral Absorption Pads trap the minerals and help prevent stubborn mineral buildup on your Heating Plate.

  • Before starting your humidifier, place one Mineral Absorption Pad flat on the Heating Plate. After the humidifier has been operating, the water and all internal parts will become HOT, and caution should be exercised when handling the Mineral Absorption Pad. Please allow the humidifier water and all internal parts to cool down (at least 10-15 minutes). Use tongs or long tweezers when handling the pad to prevent burns.
  • The life of the Mineral Absorption Pad will vary, depending on the mineral content of the water being used. Using normal/moderate mineral content water the Mineral Absorption Pad should be changed after approximately 2 weeks of continuous use. Again, the life of the pad will vary dependent on your usage and mineral content of your water.
  • For indications that your Mineral Absorption Pad needs to be changed, examine it AFTER the water has cooled down to see if it is still soft and pliable. If the pad is stiff and hard you should replace it. Another sign that indicates your Mineral Absorption Pad must be changed is scale buildup on your heating plate.

Filling

  • Remove the Water Tank by grasping handle and pulling straight up. Set aside (Fig. 1).

  • Turn the Water Tank upside down so that the Fill Cap is facing up; unscrew the Fill Cap by turning it counter-clockwise and set aside.

  • Fill the Water Tank with COOL tap water (Fig. 5). DO NOT USE HOT WATER. Doing so may damage the humidifier.

  • Distilled water is not necessary but should be considered in hard water areas to prevent mineral build-up.

  • Replace the fill cap by turning it clockwise
    DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN. Turn the Water Tank right-side up.
    NOTE: Do not add any medication or other additives to water.
    NOTE: When carrying the filled Water Tank, please use the handle and place your other hand under the tank for additional support.

  • Position the Water Tank in the humidifier and push into place (Fig. 6).

  • Some water will flow into the Removable Tray when the filled Water Tank is properly in place.

  • Once the filled Water Tank has been positioned, do not attempt to move the humidifier. To avoid leaking, you should never move the humidifier while filled with water.

CAUTION: Do not pour water into the grille on the top of the humidifier. Doing so may damage the humidifier or cause personal injury.
